Who loves using chopsticks?
Katie loves using chopsticks! I use chopsticks for almost everything I eat. Growing up in Japan, I learned to eat with chopsticks before learning to use a fork! (Yes, I do now know how to use a fork. But I still prefer chopsticks.)
Have you ever tried eating with chopsticks?
(I don’t normally eat pancakes with chopsticks, but when someone asked me if I did, I had to try!)
If you don’t know how to use chopsticks, here’s a step-by-step guide:

Or you can always watch a youtube video. (Is there anything that’s NOT explained on youtube these days?)
Chopstick Challenge Time:
I challenge you to replace your fork (or fingers!) with chopsticks for at least one meal/snack per day for the next week. Or maybe you want to have a complete chopsticks-only day? If you do already know how to use chopsticks, try to think outside the (Chinese take-out) box and use them to eat foods you wouldn’t normally eat with chopsticks, such as waffles, Italian food, or salad.
Be creative and have fun with it!
I’m going to try it!
I only use chopsticks for Asian food – using it for Western food feels off for me! 🙂 Oatmeal though, that must have been challenging!
Ok, I’m going home today to dust off my chopsticks! I’m excited!!! Katie, you have the best challenges. I wasn’t yet a blog reader for your new food challenge, but I’ve been doing that one on my own for the past few months now! And I’m going to participate in this one as well. Wish me luck! 🙂
I will have to pick up a pair of chopsticks. 🙂
i’m in! i really want to try getting better with chopsticks!

I don’t think I ever use chopsticks before. Is that bad? I would like to try. Can I be a part?
Blissfulbellas,
Hahaha as long as it works, right? Maybe you’ll inspire a new way to eat. Who knows, maybe your way actually works better! As long as you don’t do what I did as a little girl, which was to spear my food. My mom told me it’s very, very bad luck to do so :-?.
Sera,
Of course you can be a part!!
I love chopsticks. I have some nice stainless steel ones. They really make you slow down and enjoy your food.
I love using chopsticks and I keep meaning to pick up a few pretty sets! I wonder where I can find nice ones online? When I was Christmas shopping I saw lightsaber chopsticks on ThinkGeek and SO wanted them. 😀
YAY for chopsticks!
😀
Delicious eats as always, Katie!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Pot Pie Stew?!?
I totally missed that when you posted the recipe. Going over to click on it now!
Hehehe, this is one challenge I don’t think I can do! I’ve tried to learn so many times and I stink at eating with chopsticks. I always get frustrated and use a fork!
Yay, three cheers for chopsticks. We use chopsticks at home a lot too. They are so simple and elegant to use. I’ll take up your challenge and try to eat with chopsticks more than usual this week. I only wish I had more good pairs of chopsticks… We got two pairs from a Japanese student who stayed with us for a while. Nothing we find here quite compares to them. I saw Star Wars lightsabre ones for sale online somewhere. Those would be perfect for my husband. Haha.
I love using chopsticks! I think its fun. When I was little, I could never use them properly (and I probably still don’t use them the “right” way, but I manage). They make you take smaller bites than you normally would, which I like. Even with forks and spoons, I always use tiny little ones so chopsticks are a welcome and fun change.
