Yesterday I had 20 net grams of carbs from zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, spinach, and Mitzi's cauliflower dish! It was delicious!!!!!!!! Hubby liked it, too, and was willing to eat it from 1) seeing Mitzi's photo of the dish, and 2) seeing Mitzi's before and after photos! Thanks Mitzi!!!!! I tried to rep you again, but I gotta share the love some more! LOL I owe ya one.

I used to hate zucchini (aka courgette), something about the texture more than the taste put me off it, but have been eating it recently like this:

cut into slices, dip in beaten egg, dip in finely grated parmesan, put in the ovan for about 15 mins, turning half-way through. It's yummy.

I don't think I will ever be able to do eggplant (aka aubergine) though. Mitzi I love your describtion of it - mildewed sponge!! - that's JUST what it's like! It tasted gone off.

I have never eaten kohlrabi though, and I saw some at the farmer's market this morning and got it - so that's gonna be my new veg.

Good Morning, Fellow Vegiteers

What an awesome way for me to start the day! You people are just great... I'm feeling warm and fuzzy from all of the kind words.

LOL... Bio, I'm glad you liked the cauliflower. It's always good when we can get the hubby to eat a veggie and like it.

Jimmie, you're such a sweetie.

Kate, I know that I really should give eggplant another try because there are some veggies that I eat now that I didn't particularly like the first time I tasted them. But it was so gross... and there are so many veggies out there... that I don't think that I have to make myself like it. We'll see. Let us know how it goes with the kholrabi. I've always been intrigued by the appearance, but don't have a clue as to what to do with it.

Emma - about the zucchini... I loved it, but I think that I liked it because I sliced them thin. They fried up crisp on the outside, but were super juicy on the inside. If they had been sliced thicker, I think that the "squashy" texture that kind of freaks me out would have turned me off. But since they were thin, I could handle it and it was good. Of course the parmesan cheese part rocked!

You guys are so chatty in here!! lol. I leave all caught up and come back and see like 3 more pages to read through--.

I'm having a blast with fitday. I used to hate that thing but it's actually growing on me. I had 13 net carbs yesterday and my stomach was a disaster--I have no clue why but something was amiss. All better today though!
