Welcome to FOODIES!

Why do adults get to have all the fun? All those newspaper reviews and food critics...what if us adolescents want to check out what's on our plates? So who's up for the FOODIES Challenge?

The FOODIES challenge was created by moi the very second I started this blog. (It is not, unfortunately, some nationwide sweep of kids submitting meals that I'm just trying to promote. It is most certainly not nationwide. I hope you didn't get your hopes up.) It's simple: Take a picture of your dinner (or lunch, or breakfast)--delicious or not--and upload it to the site. Then describe your meal a bit. Hopefully we'll all get delicious recipes and food ideas, plus we'll get to see what other people everywhere are eating! Here's a sample (I didn't actually eat this):

Black Bean Tacos with Vegetables

Meal: Dinner
Who made it: Me
Tastyness: 8/10
Healthyness: 9/10
Comments: These tacos were very good. Blah blah blah...
(try to include a recipe if you liked the meal)

Does your lack of adequate technology prevent you from posting pictures? That's okay. Just describe the meal in depth, or get a picture from Google.

So are you ready?

Sincerely,
MS. FOODIE
