00:00 >> Michelle Obama is a former
00:02 first lady and a former picky
00:04 eater.
00:04 On the first episode of "Your
00:06 mama's kitchen" podcast,
00:07 Michelle discusses, among other
00:09 food-related topics, her
00:10 decades-long aversion to
00:11 breakfast, recalling how
00:12 breakfast was big for her family
00:14 growing up since her brother was
00:16 a growing athlete.
00:17 She explains, it was everything,
00:19 cereal followed by scrambled or
00:21 fried eggs, followed by lots of
00:23 toast and bacon and link
00:24 sausage.
00:24 But Michelle was not feeling it,
00:26 even going so far as to saying
00:27 she despised the first meal of
00:29 her life.
00:30 And despite desperate attempts
00:31 from her mother to change her
00:32 mind, Michelle remained really
00:34 stubborn, opting for simple
00:35 peanut butter and jelly every
00:37 morning until she went to
00:38 college, where she admits she
00:40 finally came around to liking
00:41 eggs.
00:42 These days, she says, "I'm big
00:44 into all of it now.
00:45 Give me eggs, Benedict.
00:46 Any eggs, any way."
00:47 In an ironic twist, her daughter
00:49 Malia, whom she shares with
00:51 former President Barack Obama,
00:52 was allergic to peanut butter as
00:54 a child, so Michelle reveals she
00:56 really hasn't indulged in her
00:57 first or second meal as an
00:59 adult.
01:00 But she does cherish plenty of
01:01 other recipes that remind her of
01:03 her upbringing, specifically her
01:04 mom's homemade birthday cakes
01:06 and her family's hand-me-down
01:07 recipe for red rice.
