As I spend my morning surfing the net looking for recipes to try this week I realize that I really need to find a way to get excited (or at least agree to eat) veggies. I just really don't like them. My mother tells me that I used to like them and that we used to fight over them at the kitchen table, but somehow I just don't believe it!
I can handle corn (not the best choice), I can handle cucumbers... onions are good and lettuce... as long as it's not iceburg. I am learning to like Spinach, but really... other than those, I'd prefer to go without. I know that's kind of sad and it certainly doesn't help with a healthy diet.
What I DID find tho' was another blogspot user whose blog is named the Veggie Venture! There are many ideas for veggies of all sorts and I must say that some of them looked really good! I won't post specific recipes until I try them and approve... :) but feel free to check out Veggie Venture yourself! It seems like it was a more active site aroun '05-'08, but a good recipe is always good, no matter when it was posted.
i LOVE veggies. have you tried brussel sprouts? you might like them sauteed and mixed with onions. they can be peppery when sauteed. it's good you don't care for iceburg lettuce b/c there's not much nutrition there anyway...mostly water. what about broc or cauliflower? cauli is good when steamed and made into a sort of mashed potato consistency...a good sub for mashed pot's, if you like that kind of thing. also, if you like leafy greens, you might like to try kale or escarole for something different...you can put them into soups at the last few mins. i have some recipes for yummy soups i could send you, if you like soups in general. do you like to cook? i guess that's somethign i don't know about you. anyway...i'm looking forward to checking out veggie venture...sounds good! jamie
