What food would you say is your specialty?

Food is my specialty! I love to cook and bake. I enjoy inviting others into my home and making something that delights their taste buds. Likewise, I am blessed when I am able to deliver a meal to a family.

For me, shared meals, and therefore food, are bridges to friendship. A lot of barriers break down as we break (gluten free) bread with others.

So, I try a lot of different recipes and cook a lot of specialty foods. Being gluten free makes it a little challenging, but some of my favorites to prepare, serve, and eat are jalapeño popper chicken with rice or lasagne with grilled zucchini in place of noodles. In winter, the season we are on the brink of right now, I love to cook soups and hearty stews.

My food specialty? I don’t have one. Boneless chicken breasts are my usual go-to dish. Prior to going through weight loss surgery I usually paired it with a quinoa and stir fried veggies thing. Now it’s usually some sort of potato and maybe some broccoli, all cooked in an air frier.

Nothing special. Nothing you’d call a specialty either. Just a few things I know how to prepare and therefore prepare them all the time. When my wife gets sick of something I find something else to cook.

For a while, I was trying to make Tewksbury Tweets my culinary thing. Those are a kind of no-bake cookies. They have tons of sugar in them so post-gastric bypass I have only made them once or twice. They are a sort of holiday gathering treat thing now. I still like making them, but I can’t eat them myself. I promise, that’s not a bad thing. Only my taste buds disagree.

Another possibility from my distant past would be dry Cheerios. Oh yes, a bowl full of Cheerios without any milk. That was the stuff. Pair it with a great big bottle of Coca~Cola and you’re in heaven. I looked at the nutritional information on a Cheerios box recently and I can still eat them. I just have to keep the serving size small. Maybe one of these days I’ll try them and see if my stomach still likes them.

So in summation, the answer to the question what is my food specialty is… nothing, really.
