Happy Labor Day!

Red, White, and Blue Parfait by Martha Stewart

Today, I am celebrating Labor Day by doing absolutely no labor. However, I wanted to share an image of this Labor Day-esque treat that is enticing me to begin cooking (or some sort of it). Coming from a background of making cereal and Nutella sandwiches as a meal, it will take a lot of exertion. Although, my dicing and julienning can be impressive, the actual collaboration of multiple ingredients can get complex. But being the age I am, I think it is time for me to step into the kitchen and create something easy yet succulent.

What were some of your first cooked meals or snacks?
