When I married my husband his family was used to eating fish on a regular basis. As a result of married life and branching out cuisine-wise due to healthy dieting, I have now come to truly enjoy fish. It has become a food that I look forward to eating rather than a food that I am uncertain about. It is now my goal to pass this knowledge and experience on to my parents in hopes that they too will begin to eat healthier meals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-17728721342544247242009-11-16T13:04:37.868-05:002009-11-16T13:04:37.868-05:00Hey...great idea to get people sharing and have a ...Hey...great idea to get people sharing and have a nice contest too. Those bowls looks fantastic. <br /><br />For me, there are two things I would NEVER eat before and turned my nose up at. Spinach and sweet potatoes. Now, I love both...and eat them as often as I can. I add spinach to my daily salad for some variety and some extra iron punch to my diet. And baked sweet potato fries are a great treat.<br /><br />Mmmm....mmmm....good!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951156819179961008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-60502566639163694462009-11-16T10:23:52.901-05:002009-11-16T10:23:52.901-05:00I eat so many things now that I wouldn't have ...I eat so many things now that I wouldn't have eaten before...like...spaghetti squash, baby spinach, eggplant, scallops and fish. <br />I've always known that fish was a good choice, but my answer was "i don't like it."

I used to HATE cottage cheese. It made me gag. The texture was just so nasty, and the flavor definitely left something to be desired as well. But I was not going to eat eggs seven days a week for breakfast. I need variety, man. Plus, I've always known that cottage cheese is like a perfect protein and it's so good for you and blah blah blah. So I bought myself some cottage cheese and some strawberries and blueberries, and forced myself to eat it. The first few times it did activate my gag reflex about half the time whilst eating it. But I knew it was good for me so I kept at it. And you know what? I kind of, sort of enjoy it now. Only with fruit, gotta have the fruit, but I really don't mind it. Wow, that was really long, sorry.

Then I told Steve about a recipe I had read, so he steamed some califlower then pureed it in the blender adding salt, pepper, and butter (or substitute, if you have something you use instead of butter), and it was like eating mashed potatoes. He tried it another time without the blender, just using the potato masher, and it didn't work for me....wrong consistancy. But through a blender, great.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17666890126851920510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579691121312386696.post-21390346397740035162009-10-30T21:37:06.453-04:002009-10-30T21:37:06.453-04:00Portion control is half the battle I think!
