How do I learn to like new foods? I grew up very picky and did not like much that isn't Italian. I like pasta, pizza, bread, potatoes, cheese, beef, chicken, and only Caesar salad. I don't like any vegetables really other than lettuce which I can only stomach if I have a crouton on every bite. I try to try new food when presented with the opportunity and have come around to eating some pork. Now that I am cooking for myself I am making the same meals on repeat and am stuck in a food rut, where I don't know what I want to eat and am sick of everything I usually eat. 


Most recipes on Pinterest and similar websites look unappealing to me, the only ones I am drawn to are some variation of pasta/pizza/bread/cheese/potatoes. I want to start cooking new recipes but I don't know where to start. Also the idea of cooking something new and then not liking it sucks because then I wasted a ton of money on something I won't eat.
