As many of you know, I have changed a lot of my eating habits over the last few months, the biggest of which is that I mostly eat fruits and veggies. The thing is that after a while, all your old methods of cooking them up get really old and your favorites get just as old too, so you have to try new things. I have found so many new loves!!!
My newest love is yams. I'm not talking some yam with my marshmallows, I mean straight up yams. Last night I peeled and cut up a yam and threw it in a pan with some water and let it just simmer till the water was gone and they were tender. Then I put just a pinch of salt and cloves and nutmeg on them and it was so delicious. I can't wait for leftovers tonight!
I have also somehow gotten over my aversion to green beans. For the longest time I would keep trying green beans, hoping to one day find that I actually liked them. I wanted to so much, but it never happened. Then one day, I thought "wow, this would go great with some green beans". I was SHOCKED!!! Was that really my thought?
My mother and I tried out Himalayan food while she was here and we discovered that we love it. I tried real sushi last time I was home and that is fabulous too. Oh and I tried some Polish cuisine when I visited the Jagards, loved it!
Any other suggestions? Keep in mind that I do live in Provo where 95% of all restaurants are either Italian or chains (Applebees, Chili's, Sizzler, cpk, pf changs, etc). But I'm willing to cook if you have a recipe. What do you like to eat?
