SkinnyHusband likes vegetables.
HOW DARE HE?! This is such a foreign concept to me. If it's not fried-it's going to taste awful. I'm a southern girl dammit. Fried Okra, Fried Squash, Fried Green Tomatoes. THOSE ARE VEGETABLES!
When I was a kid, I LOVED fried okra. I could eat it at every meal. To encourage me to eat more vegetables, my parents said I had to eat green beans before eating my okra. Even now, I feel I have to eat green beans when I eat fried okra cause I have a guilt complex. As an adult, I know it's unhealthy to eat fried foods frequently.
When I started college, I had learned to like zucchini, squash, and cabbage. After college, I learned to like peppers, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, carrots,and onions. The only problem is I typically have to have these foods extra cooked where a lot of the nutrients are destroyed. I tried celery the other day and I didn't gag but I still don't want to eat it.
My new mission is to learn to eat nutritious vegetables regularly. Pinterest has given me some great ideas on how to cook some of these items without just boiling them until they're flavorless.
One day, I will want to eat a salad with SkinnyHusband.
