Method to the Madness

Method to the Madness

Blue plates

I not sure if any of you have noticed, but most of the pictures I share of my home-cooked meals are usually on blue plates.
I had no idea that there was a reason for having blue plates, to be honest i had never really thought anything of it. Until just recently my mom recently informed me why.
Years ago she heard of a theory that
if you eat off of blue plates you are known to eat less food.
Interesting enough i am studying marketing so i do know that colors have a serious effect on how people perceive things. But truth be told i goggled it after she told me so I had other sources to back me up, and i do. Tons of studies have been conducted in order to get tot the bottom of this and just to put a statistic to it around 9/10 the participant eating off the blue plates ate less than those eating off of other colors.


Fun fact for the day. :)

NADIAS melted chocolate brownies

This is the recipe straight from Nadia's baking class at George Brown college in Toronto.(I'll post this clearer in the favorite recipes section of my blog! Look for it in more detail there!) 
Voila!!
A few tiny slices of this creation is really all you need. It's the most fudgy/chocolatey brownie ever you wouldn't even know it's gluten free!! 
Caramel, pralines and gluten free brownie bits.


Creations

Tons of asparagus soaked in teriyaki sauce and steamed to perfection with slowly roasted pork cooked in lemon and apple juice with garlic and onions. and the good old mashed potatoes with garlic mashed through them. This was unreal.
Then it turned into an appetizing lunch and a great study snack for me!.
Gluten free spaghetti with layers of melted cheddar cheese throughout it and covered in Parmesan.
100% guilt of being completely addicted to cheese. This was my lunch at my internship!
Munching on cheese and crackers and gluten free pretzles with my man.
 Cant forget the wine either, its my mission in life to try every single wine out there!
This is my all time favorite snack.

Smoothie every damn day. Fresh fruits and chai seeds!
