I at least tried 2 new veggies and found that i liked eggplant, but not spag. squash. I cooked the chayote, but it was too sweet and i was afraid i bought the wrong thing, so i tossed it...YIKES

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

12 carbs for me today and I tried Brussel sprouts. They were okay but not something I would make again. I'm stuck on the stir fry and fried cabbage and onions. Today I had the sprouts, broccoli, green peppers and onions. Plus a small side salad from Wendys.

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

23 net carbs from veggies for me today. Thanks so much Silly and Jimmie! Ya'll are great!

Had spinach, okra-twice-seem to be a bit obsessed with that--spinach, tomatoes and tomato juice with my iron pill because my doctor said so.

My new veggie was cauliflower, I also actually cooked mushrooms, hadn't done that before. Will be happy to fix more things with cauliflower and learned I can add veggies to breakfast. I enjoyed reading everyone's experiences and recipes and will continue to experiment. I'm glad I did this because I've been in a bit of a rut with my eating and this is helping me try new things again. It's getting me in the mode of planning for Thanksgiving (legally, of course). There are a couple of more low-carb people in my family this year, so hopefully I can fix some things that we can share and start new traditions.

Thanks again--we have great moderators!

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

I logged 26 g carbs yesterday from: Lettuce, tomatoes (cherry), fennel, white eggplant, basil, onion, garlic, cauliflower.

Tried the white eggplant today but frankly, I couldn't taste any difference from the normal variety. Had been told it had a more delicate flavour, but I didn't notice that. Was good though.

Thanks Silly for running this fun and healthy challenge! It's been great.
