Have you ever had a moment that out of nowhere, you suddenly feel craving for some food? It's a bit weird for me when I just lay down on my bed or hammock, then a certain food will pop up in my mind. And will crave for it, and will suddenly feel hunger just by thinking of it. It's actually quite annoying because even though you don't want to spend, you will have to because your cravings for it will become stronger.

My cravings are purely random, and I don't know where these cravings are coming from. Usually, my cravings are related to cheese, baked foods, and desserts. One of the reasons why I didn't like my cravings is because I have no money to sustain, to buy ingredients, and feed it with myself. I am truly feeling devastated when I can't feel my tummy with the foods I want to eat. I know that most of you have this moment and experiences as well.

What are my usual cravings?

Pizzas

Most of the time, I crave pizza. Like, I don't know the exact reason why pizzas are always on my mind every weekend. I was just sitting, working on my phone, and when I accidentally smell something that is related to pizza, then I will crave for it. My sister frequently bakes cheesecake and puto so I can't help myself but to partner it with pizza too. There are special combos that I really like the most with pizza.

My normal combos with pizza are pizza with cake, pizza with burger, pizza with spaghetti, and pizza with fries, a lot of fries. It has happened multiple times already, and I can say that satisfying yourself will definitely help to improve your moods. I think when you don't satisfy yourself, your moods and how you treat yourself, and others will definitely be affected by it.

Burgers

Who wouldn’t love burgers? There are many burgers out there, and you can actually make your own burger at home. Usually, I asked my mother to buy some ingredients for my homemade burger like big onions, big tomatoes, hams, cheeses, cucumbers, burger patties, and burger buns. Just wash it, fried the hams and burger patties, and chop the ingredients. Put it all together, and add with ketchup. No mayonnaise for me! I don't like it with burger. In this kind of burger, I think I spend less than ₱200 and I can make around 12 big burgers. So worth it!

I don't like to buy burger in restaurants and local burger houses because they are very pricey for my pocket. Yes, they are delicious, but still I cannot spend one burger for a single piece of burger. That's not away of spending because I want to spend my money wisely. It's always worth it to make your own burger at home. You can control how much money you can spend, and the ingredients you want to eat from it. Some of us don't like this vegetable, or that patties.

Fries

I am very sad how inflation affects the kilo of fries today. Back then, a kilo of fries around ₱90- 100. Yet, the price today shook me because it was way higher and it costs around ₱120- 130. Plus, a bottle of oil costs ₱45 today. How high the price of good, and it makes this poor wallet of mine drained faster. I don't buy fries often because of its price, but I have to sometimes when my cravings cannot be controlled. I think it's better to buy a kilo of fries rather than buying fries on fast-food chain. You know how much pricey and how small amount of fries are now today.

I would like to invite everyone to eat what you crave because you only live once, and we don't know when our last meal will be. You have to let yourself experience the best food you can buy and eat. Better to eat something, than be eaten by your moods and feelings.
