About this Mod
This mod is made with the intention of adding some new foods without adding in new tools and materials that are not in the base game. All foods are either made with currently available ingredients (such as sugar cookies and scrambled eggs) from the base game or ingredients (like cheese) made from base game materials. These new foods add more options for both early and late game eating with foods ranging from cooked apples to loaded potatoes. Also allows you to unpoison potatoes! You can see all of the food and their recipes in the gallery tab.
