Food is a universal language. There is a food for every emotion. Sad? Ice cream it is. Celebrating? How about a roast. Tired? Take out it is.

We all love a hearty warm soup in the dead of winter. There's nothing more refreshing than a cold cut sandwich and watermelon in the summer.

There will always be that one dish that reminds you of your mom.

Food brings people together.

I love food, so much. If loving food is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Now, I have just recently blossomed into a down right foodie. I don't just mean posting pictures of yummy food, I mean true passion. I will probably die of bacon overdose and I totally welcome that.

Thinking about food has made me realize there are some tried and true ways to tell if you are a true foodie. So I present to you, 11 times you realized you were truly, deeply in love with food.

1. At first you just loved eating in general

You know what I'm talking about right? You're ordering pizza? Of course I want some.

2. Then you began to let go of some of your pickiness

Yeah okay so onions do have a place in some dishes. They have good flavor or whatever.

3. You caught yourself trying new things based off the picture

Yes, I'd like the double bacon wrapped shrimp with linguine please. (Can there please be something that's double bacon wrapped? Please?)

4. Your grocery bills slowly started climbing

I swear mom, I honestly don't know how I spent another 60 bucks at United yesterday. I know, I know I just bought $75 worth of groceries at Walmart three days ago.

5. Those food videos on Facebook?

#bless whoever invited those.

6. Fighting with your friends about what's good food

Seriously, say you prefer Taco Bell to Taco Bueno one more time.

7. Eating good food wasn't enough, so you learned to cook

Yeah you started out simple, I mean how hard is it really to fry an egg? (It's a LOT harder than it seems y'all.)

8. You're food board(s) on pinterest have the most pins

OMG cinnamon roll cheesecake *save*

9. You actually start making some of your pinned items

Oh man, pretty sure it's not supposed to be burning right now. #pinterestfail

10. You start critiquing the Facebook videos

Why didn't they add garlic? That looks dry, it needs a sauce.

11. You become proud to say you're a foodie

Just a little dinner with bae || Pesto stuffed Chicken with veggies and wild rice #nofilter

Food love forever.
