Potatoes

Figs


Do you make meals with what is in season? those are the best time to eat them. They are full of flavor and you can get a bunch at low cost. If you have any meals that you make with these share them.

I am going to research some and see what I come up with that is HEALTHY.

There are a few on your list, that I have never tried. Not sure how to prepare them either. What do brussle sprouts taste like?

Kelli....THEY are awful LOL I am sorry I HATE THEm. lol

AND GASSY lol.

I never tried a fig.

Oh, I don't think I will try them then. They don't look very good in the grocery store either.

I think a fig might be similar to a prune, but am not really sure on that.

I am on the hunt for some new recipes that are healthy and yummy, so that the rest of the family might eat them too. Most often now, I don't eat what they eat. I modify my food so that it is healthier.

The kids bought us a new fryer for Christmas (my dh wanted one) and he has been making things like chicken parm, etc. and I haven't eaten it. Well he made fried shrimp, fries, and rings the other night. The kids were disappointed that I haven't eaten anything made with their gift, so I had a little bit and my stomach was so upset all night. I don't miss the fried foods at all!

oh i hear you. Like fried foods totally make me sick. Some people have no problem eating it. But not me. IT makes me RUN for the potty. I do make the kids fried chicken strips sometimes but that is about it.

I always have to modfy my foods. Everyone in my house can afford the calories lol CEPT ME. oh bother lol
