Subway Sandwiches are one of the quickest and easiest ways to get a semi-nutritious meal in a short period of time. Since they are so convenient, my family enjoys going there since there is something everyone will like. My order there is a six inch sub on Italian bread, with ham and American cheese, topped with lettuce and Italian dressing. My sandwich order is pretty basic, but they have so many combinations you could make whatever your heart desires. For sides I usually get a bag of chips and one chocolate chip cookie for a good treat. Normally I don't like sub sandwiches, but for some reason I love subway's. The sandwich is both tasty and filling since you get to decide what is on it. This aspect of choosing your own ingredients is great for me since I am a picky eater, making it simple for my family and I. Therefore, if you are ever in a hurry and need to re-fuel, might I suggest stopping at Subway to get any sandwich of your choice! Link to Subway's Menu: https://ww

One food...more specifically one place that has a lot of meaning to my family and I, is located in Wapakoneta, Ohio. This place is a very small "restaurant" known as, the Beer and Wine Depot. At this drive in spot, is the most delicious food you can find in such a small town. My mom's family has been eating there, since she was 14 years old, and then she passed the tradition onto me since I was a child. The classic, Woten/Alston meal there is their 18 inch pizza with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom and onion. Our family also gets a side order of french fried pickles to complete the meal. The reason this meal has significance to me is because of the stories and folklore surrounding it. My mom tells me countless stories from her childhood that involve this pizza. Whenever we drive up to get it, she shows me around her hometown and shows me all the places she used to go to as a kid. Therefore, signifying a way for me to bond with my mother and learn about her past. Also this pi

When most people pick up food for their dog, they aren't very concerned with the ingredients because they trust the happy little pup on the front of the bag, almost like it is a spokesperson for doggies health. However, most of the food offered for dogs carry carcinogens, which are cancer causing ingredients that are putting your dog at a heightened risk of exposure. Also in the human world, we all know that McDonald's is not a good, nutritious meal to feed your family so why were you do it for your dog? Many of the brands offered have no nutritional value and are in fact leading to obesity and diabetes in your canine friend. Many of the name brand dog foods such as, Beneful, Iams and Blue Buffalo are actually causing cancer and obesity in dogs since the main ingredients are corn meal when it should be a protein, like chicken to keep your pet lean. One way to avoid these misleading brands is either research the brand you purchase and make sure the ingredients are compatible and

This past Sunday, my dad and I took our quarterly trip up to Hocking Hills located here in Ohio. Hocking hills has been my favorite place to go ever since I was eight, therefore, we go up every time the seasons change to admire the beauty of nature. Since I am a frequent visitor there, I have tried all of the local restaurants, however this time there was a new one I had never seen. The restaurant is called Captain Ron's Pirate Pizza, and is located between Lake Logan and Old man's cave. The restaurant is perfectly located, since there aren't any food stops between the hiking attractions. When we drove up to the "home" like restaurant, we noticed they had decorated for Halloween including, color changing lights and skeleton decorations, which were synced to Halloween styled music. When you enter the restaurant, it is very clean and is well stocked, not to mention their menu is impressive. They have everything you could want, including, pizza, hot dogs, burgers, na

Have you ever had to eat so fast that you felt physically sick after wards? Well I have, especially when school is in session. At my school, Thomas Worthington High school we get 25 minutes for lunch everyday which is nearly not enough time to consume a quality lunch. The atmosphere surrounding lunch is a time to catch up with your friends, fuel up and prepare for the rest of your day, but with only 25 minutes by the time you have caught up with your friends or eaten your lunch, there is no time to refresh before your next class. It has been proven that students who are given longer lunch breaks are more refreshed and ready for the rest of their day because they are able to consume all of their lunch. 25 minutes is not nearly enough time when you take into consideration, waiting in line if you are buying your lunch, when the average lunch period has about 425 students in each of them. Also you can only pack snack like items that are individual bagged because waiting to heat up your foo

On days that you want to treat yourself, might I suggest getting a cinnamon roll! They are a delicious pastry which is made from a "doughnut like" dough lined with cinnamon and topped with a cream cheese icing. They are delicious no matter what, but are best served fresh and with warmed, melted icing. You can also get a good size cinnamon roll for just a dollar! I've seen some bakeries sell rolls the size of your hand for just fifty cents, so you know it is definitely a good deal. Many chain restaurants sell cinnamon rolls, but personally I believe they are the best when purchased from bakeries. Cinnamon rolls are so delicious that even though I am dairy intolerant I sacrifice my comfort just to enjoy these delicious delicacies. Therefore, if you are ever craving something sweet, go to your nearest Cinnabon or bakery to get a pipping hot, delicious cinnamon roll.
