February 1, 2010, 3:31 pm What is your favorite fruit or veggie?
bassoonist | In the "Bacon Lovers Anonymous" post (which is funny, you must read), witchmomma asked what our favorite meat is. Well, seeing how I don't eat meat, I'm curious what everyone's favorite fruit or veggie is?
Do you love fruits and despise veggies or vice-versa? Do you only like a few of each? Or do you eat nothing but, and have a very tough time deciding on your favorite (OK maybe that's just me......tee hee)
My favorite veggie at the moment is asparagus. I love it steamed, raw, grilled, however you slice it. My current favorite fruit is blueberries.
Please comment below! ... |

ninaolsen | I bought a "new" fruit called Angelcot today
It's a white apricot that's a hybrid between a Moroccan and Iranian apricot...at least that's what I was told.
It's really crispy and refreshing, and has a slight plum taste to it.
Apparently it's only in season for about a month so if you see it at your local market...check it out
( I just logged it as a "normal" apricot. ) ... |

June 8, 2009, 5:24 pm ~Not all Fruit & Veggies Are Created Equal~ | I have seen a bunch of posts and individual comments in the past week regarding fiber and difficulty obtaining it.
While I do not claim to be an expert on the topic of fiber, my home page shows a 150% fiber consumption for the two week period. Personally, I find my fiber in fresh fruits and fresh veggies, with some spelted grain carbohydrates (and yes, ancient grains) thrown in. If I choose to eat breads and/ or pastas, I try to opt for spelt or sprouted-grain varieties that have less processing and more fiber and protein than their white-flour cousins. ... |

 The title of this post comes directly from the Super Smoothies recipe book. The writers, Mary Corpening-Barber and Sara Corpening-Whiteford, certainly knew what they were doing when they came up with this sweet, tart, and rich smoothie. Low calories, low fat, and with a nice kick of vitamin C, this drink is fab in the morning or as a snack.

- Light vanilla soy milk, 1/2 cup (106 grams)
- Soft tofu, 1/3 cup (78 grams)

- Pineapple juice concentrate, 2 TB (30 grams)

 On mom's final trip to the market Easter Sunday, she noticed the good looking blackberries (and they were priced right), so she grabbed a pack; she also picked up a cantaloupe and a lime. She told me that while at the market she didn't have anything in particular in mind for the fruit -they just looked good.
At home mom tasted the cantaloupe and it was perfection -great, it can be left alone.
The blackberries on the other hand... yowza! they were tart. Gotta come up with some way to mellow them out.
Honey will do the trick! A small amount (1 |

For example, two nights ago I ate the following from 11:00PM-2:00AM knowing that I would have school the next day.
~12 oz package of M&M's
~5 cookies
~10 bowls of frosted mini wheats
~1 gallon of milk
~red hots, candy corn, peppermints, and jelly beans by the handful
~1 bag (NOT snack size) of pretzels
~1 package of cinnamon sugar graham crackers
Bad!!! I decided that this would not happen anymore, even though it's been going on ... |
