Help me eat my veggies!

Pettyone made the observation that I do not eat enough vegetables, which is true I really don't care for raw veggies, except tomatoes (which I guess don't count). I need some help getting some more vegetables in my diet. Thanks!!

Amanda -- What is it about veggies you don't like? We can try to force you to learn to like them, or we can help you camouflage them and find dishes that you're willing to live with.

When I travel, sometimes I go to places where the idea of a tossed salad is cut up iceberg lettuce and tomato slices with thousand island dressing. Ewwwww! I'd turn away from veggies if that were all I had, too!

Vegetables are WONDERFUL. After going on Atkins (and delving a bit into vegetarian cuisine some years ago), I absolutely LOVE veggies, and can't get enough of them. The colors, the flavors, the textures, are all delicious.

How we can we help you? Let us know what you don't like specifically, and maybe what type of non-veggie dishes you like.

I don't know what it is, but I don't like the way they taste. I love salads though. I made an amazing one with rosemary chicken for dinner!! MMMM! But I have never like broccollii or cauliflower. I love cooked green beans and carrots but not raw. I love cucumbers but they just don't have any flavor to them. I am such a baby about it!!
