Personal Narrative: Why I Love Food

Food comes in many varieties, shapes and colors this is one reason why I love food. The smell of certain foods is like no other, coming home for winter break every Christmas eve we go over my nanny’s and have a big family dinner. So many different dishes of food it’s like I’m a kid in the candy store. When I walk in I see a big turkey, ham, mash potatoes, green beans, greens, gravy, and biscuits. Then comes the dessert being picked out of the refrigerator looking magnificent. First comes the apple pie than the chocolate pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and finally the strawberry pie. Preparing this day is quite stressful for my nanny because she wants everything to flow perfectly. The day starts off with my nanny waking up early to put the

My nanny is my biggest fan she supports me in anything I choose to do. She made it to every game, track meet, and events I participated in. Me playing football was not easy on her she hated to see me hurt but she did love to see me run. She gave me a nickname that has pretty much stuck with me for a while she called me the deer. Everywhere we go she lets people know I’m the deer the fast kid in town. My nanny is my best friend I will absolutely do anything for her. She is so cute but do not let that fool you she can pack a punch in the little arms. My nanny really is my heart I will do absolutely anything for her. She makes sure I have money and food all the time even when she doesn’t have it to give. My nanny is a trooper she has been through so many surgeries and injuries and she still pushes hard and wakes up at 5:30 a.m. every day and works till she can’t no

When Christmas Eve comes I don’t eat the whole day so I will eat so much more at my nanny’s. Eating her food is like eating at a 5-star restaurant her food is literally amazing. My favorite dish is the honey ham, eating this ham will make you feel like a whole different person because of the different flavors that rest on your taste buds. Another really good dish she makes is deviled eggs now the flavors in the deviled eggs is out of this world. She starts off by boiling the eggs and then peeling the shells, then she makes her special sauce that goes inside the eggs. She takes all of the yolks out of the eggs and puts in mayonnaise, mustard, and sweet relish I promise it’s the best thing you will ever taste.

I think what brings my family together is the food my name prepares for us. Eating her food on this special day shows that we respect the hard work she did to make sure we have this food. Sitting back in my chair enjoying my food I take a second and think how grateful I am to have this food and this family that loves me so much. It’s a blessing to have the family I do and I will never take granted of that. Food brings joy to people life and when I see the smiles on my family when they take them bites really brings me joy. Food is the key to the heart everyone loves food and it will always be need not a
