Hello,
My name is Annie Boyd, and I have been a student at CSU Dominguez Hills for three semesters. My major is Interdisciplinary Studies, and I hope to finish in Spring of 2017.
The food selfie is what I ate for dinner today. It is a kale and spinach salad with chicken, dressed with red, yellow and orange peppers. The garlic bread is a rare treat!
I have several favorites foods that I cook regularly. Chicken goes with a lot of dishes, so I find myself eating chicken with vegetables, salads, potatoes, and sometimes by itself. When I eat a meal, I try to add vegetables like asparagus or broccoli. This helps me justify always looking for dessert afterwards. That being said, since I also have a sweet tooth, to avoid some of the high fat calories I intake by eating cakes, and donuts, I buy myself a hot cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer from Coffee Bean, and use it as my dessert. I really have a love for coffee, and can drink it anytime.
I am looking forward to meeting new people in this class, and learning more about other foods in different cultures.
Your dinner looks delicious 🙂 I love the smell of coffee, but I can’t drink it – it has a negative effect on me.
Hi Annie,
I share your love for coffee, and the Coffee Bean is one of my favs. You’ll find me hanging out at some of the local coffee joints to enjoy a latte, iced blended or other drink. On the weekends, my friends and I go there for our “after meal desert” to enjoy a muffin, danish or something sweet.

I love salads, no matter what they have in them. Good and healthy!
Annie, Like you, I too, have a sweet tooth. My husband and I are both avid coffee drinkers (though I didn’t start drinking or liking coffee until my 30’s), so we start our day and sometimes end it (with decaf) coffee. I love that they have sugar free syrups at Starbucks, and creamers at the market. It definitely makes up for not being able to have latte’s or Frappuccino’s. I find that an ice coffee with a flavored syrup is just as good as any dessert. I like salads too, and yours looks delicious and healthy!
I also love coffee bean! I drink coffee basically all day everyday, not a huge starbucks fan as I like to support local businesses a bit more- but I can’t lie I do love Coffee Bean or “the bean” as my roommate and I call it. Next time you go you should try an iced coffee, half hazelnut-half vanilla. I can promise you will not be disappointed!!
