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.

Kitchen things I need when I move out.

The food/drink section of pinterest is deadly. (Well pinterest in general is deadly. I want to reorganize everything.) As I'm scrolling down the food, I realize I'm gonna need a few kitchen appliances when I move out. Kitchen appliances are more important than furniture. Eating > sitting in the living room.

Stuff I Need (want) For My Future Kitchen

  • Stand Mixer
  • Food Processor
  • Blender
  • Crock Pot
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cool Cookie Cutters
  • Ice Cube Trays
  • Mini Muffin Pan
  • Expresso Machine
  • Cookie Jar
  • Cupcake Stand
  • Cake Dome
  • Waffle Iron
  • Deep Fryer 
I'll probably add to this when I think up stuff.
This is more for my own personal reference.

YUUUUHHHHHHH.
