Falling in LOVE with Vegetables
Posted under: Something weird is happening to me.
I’m craving vegetables!
Not cheeseburgers, not pizza, not ice cream.
Vegetables. Good ol’ vitamin and mineral packed veggies.
Green leafy ones are my favorite. I am in love with kale. IN LOVE! We eat it at least twice a week.
And I juice it too!
This is all so weird because while I was raised on plenty of vegetables, I never liked them because I was so involved in growing them, picking them, canning or freezing them. I hated everything that came out of the garden…well except for my families heirloom tomatoes, now those are seriously amazing!
Last night I made salmon and each one of us had a small piece, but the rest of our plates were filled with vegetables and brown rice. We had kale (of course) sauteed with avocado oil and 2 slices of beef bacon crumbled on top, pinto beans with onions and salad. I looked at my husband after I had filled my plate and told him there was something wrong (or finally right!) with me because my plate was piled high with these super healthy and nutritious foods, and I was EXCITED to eat them! It was amazing! My body was screaming THANK YOU!
Now if only I could get my husband to like beans, and my kids to like kale! Unfortunately, I think I was the only one excited about last night’s dinner!
I wish I would have taken a picture of it, but unfortunately I was so excited to eat it I couldn’t find the time to stop and snap a picture. I plan on recreating this meal next week though, so I’ll snap a shot then!
