Wraps, wraps, wraps

So my venture into healthy eating (actually, eating or tasting anything that looks healthy) didn't begin until very recently. And when I say recently I mean, I'm 22 years old and have never eaten a salad until last month. So I'm very new to this and still a little... scared I guess you could say. I'm not one to eat things that involve vegetables.

So a few months back, my first try of something healthy was at my nail salon. Yes, you read it right. My nail salon.

It was their (4 year, maybe) anniversary of being open, so they had catering. These delicious hamburgers, little pastries, and spinach turkey wraps.

Now, I was kinda nervous when I picked up one of these turkey wraps. There are a lot of things (aka condiments) I don't like. Which ones? All of them. So, when I popped it in my mouth, I was a bit scared. To my surprise, there were some crunchy vegetables and turkey rolled up in there. Nothing more. I couldn't really taste the vegetables. They were mostly just snuck in there for crunchy texture, but maaaaaaan I loved it. I even got my equally as unhealthy sister to try it out too. She also loved it.

So when we got home, we tried to convince our mother to buy us wrap making food materials. After a lot of nagging and reminding, we finally got what we asked!

The first wrap making test try was the night before a beach trip. I made a tester for my younger brother (who is opposite of my sister and I and will eat ANYTHING) and he gave me the thumbs up. So I made some for our beach trip the next morning.

(This is where I would have normally
stuck in my first attempt picture, but I apparently deleted it off my phone.) D:

They were a hit. I shared them with some of the people we met up with at the beach. They all gave me the thumbs up.

So tonight was my second attempt. I chopped up some carrots, some cucumber, little bit of onions,  spread out some turkey and then added cheese to stick it together. This time, I thought it would be super good to "grill" them, aka put them on the stove.

(Sorry about the terrible photo!)

Success! Omg, the crunchy outside was aweeesome, man.

I'm not diggin' the cucumber too much though. I might have to start experimenting with my vegetables. Overall, loved it.

Sushi makin'

Alright, as of recently, my mother bought me a sushi mat. I've been going out to eat sushi the past couple months, at least once a week. Since I'm broke, I haven't been able to get my fill of sushi. So I attempted to make my own!

First attempt wasn't all that great. Well, I mean it was pretty decent considering it was a first attempt. I made chicken tempura sushi. Something cooked so I wouldn't accidentally poison my family... You can see a little video clip/vine of my chicken tempura making here. Below is a decent picture of my makings, lol.

Today was my second attempt. My mom asked me to make some sushi for her using some canned tuna.  It was a fast alternative. Definitely turned out better than the first time. I learned from my mistakes. (I used a better knife when cutting them into pieces.) Add a little bit of vegetables and soy sauce and WAH LAH. Delicious sushi. I added some black soy sauce (a sweet sauce) on top of my pieces. Absolutely wonderful.

So hopefully my sushi making skills continue to improve. Maybe I'll create my own type of rolls...

An Introduction...

Hello, hello, hello. Going to try out this blogging thing even though I doubt anyone will come across this blog. Whatevvss.

I'm 22 and currently living in Orlando, Fl. Yes, it's hot as heck down here. I frequent Universal and Disney World. Why not when you have passes, lol. So expect pictures of theme parks and theme park food.

I'm currently obsessed with Pinterest. So any recipes I find or DIY project results will definitely end up on here. I love, love, love cooking, so hopefully my reviews of Pinterest recipes will do a little bit of good.

As of right now, I'm residing at my mother's house. I'm certain after I move out, you'll end up seeing a lot of DIY furniture and DIY decorations. Palette furniture is my favorite and the most aesthetically appealing thing ever to me, lmao. I'm probably going to try out a few palette furniture ideas.

Other things you can expect  from this blog are photoshoot attempts and anything else random that you can think up. This is going to be a dumping ground for my thoughts, but I hope you enjoy it!
