Have you ever been tired of the same ol’ meal, on the same ol’ day of the week? Yes, we all have our food staples and favorites, most of which we can recite by heart like an Instagram reel song. Now, at times there is nothing wrong with having consistency; at times this consistency helps us attain our health goals. However, adding variety to our plate brings color to our regular routine and can keep us excited about any new edibles adventures we may want to take. When you feel that dinner is starting to become basic, Flavour-O-Rama has a plan! (We would hope so, “Tastebud Utopia “is literally in our name ☺️). Here are 3 easy tips that can make you excited about mealtime again.

1. Explore Different Aisles in the Grocery Store.

Usually when we do our regular grocery shopping, we stick to the aisles that we are use to. Start to explore different sides of the produce section. Try a different type of protein from the butcher. Changes do not have to be drastic. Just changing one thing can open doors to new dishes to discover.

2.    Start Small.

Maybe that new recipe should be made for two people instead of 6 as instructed. Scaling down the ingredients on a new recipe will save you money and time on the meal prep, which can all add up (and not in a good way) if the recipe is not your favorite. This method gives you the opportunity to see how this recipe can work for you.

3.   Check Out New Food Pages on Social Media.

We all may have our favorite social media foodies on deck when we crave to see something unique, tasty and creative. Once we start to follow one page, we are immediately suggested to follow similar posts. If you are feeling frisky, search for a new recipe or new dish on social media. Check out a new Pinterest page you’ve never visited before. Not only will this give you new food ideas, it may also let you realize that some of the foods that you may have seemed as “off limits “ or “hard to make” are now more accessible.

Of course, you can always add Flavour-O-Rama to your new culinary adventure, we would love to join the ride!

Happy Plate Life!
