Juicing! My whole life I've never really liked veggies, but I'd buy them in a half-hearted attempt to get myself to try them. They'd usually go to waste in the frig.

About 2 months ago, I bought a juicer and now use it every day.

I make all kinds of fresh juice.
Carrot-apple-ginger.
Tomato, carrot, spinach + a jalapeno pepper.
And Fresh grapefruit that tastes much better than anything store-bought.

I experiment all the time. The best thing is you can sneak in spinach and other veggies into the mix, and not even taste them in there! Apples and carrots mask the taste of the greens.

I've consumed more veggies in the past 2 months than I ever have.

There are so many different ways to fix foods that there are recipes out there that could make what used to be the most horrible food the yummiest ever.

There are many foods that I didn't like growing up that I now love.
Beans make me gag and throw up. just now i gagged and said "I'm eating ice cream. I'm eating ice cream" I put the spoon of beans in my mouth, and spit it back out. And i couldnt go play unless i ate the beans. to me they're just gross. i cant stand them. what should i do

[quote=Kathleen1971;16441914]Eww lol. Where is that vomit icon when you need it?
I know I am weird though when it comes to chocolate. I can handle a bite or two during that time of the month but honestly I just do not see the appeal at all.





I know right?

Kyle maybe your Mom would let you put some grated cheese on them and melt it in the microwave. Then you wouldn't taste them so much.
I like your status line, I hope it's soon.
You know you're supposed to be 16 to be on this forum, right?

If you only hate a few foods that is fine and normal. You can eat fruits OR veggies and really veggies are more ideal if you tend to gain. Its really only a problem if you are eating a bunch of junk in place of what is healthy.

I personally only like asparagus if I grew it myself. The store stuff is so bitter and disgusting to me.
There will be a good batch every once in awhile but its not worth the risk to me.

I take the asparagus and trim off the tough ends, place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast them on 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Only use fresh asparagus not canned or frozen.

Excellent advice. I love roasted asparagus. I also like to use my grill pan and and cook them that way with a drip of olive oil and salt and pepper. My kids even love it that way! You can also just cut off a little bit at the ends and then use a peeler to take off the rough part, allowing you to use more of the veggie.
