Good morning! I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it through Monday…for some reason it was difficult to start this week off! Maybe it was because I knew many people had the day off from work/school and I didn’t? Or because it was raining when it was supposed to be warm & sunny? Or because I know there is so much going on this week? Okay, time to pull myself together 
Because yesterday was so strange and I wasn’t ready to accept that it was Monday, I totally forgot to post the weekend post recaps! Oops. I hope you all are a little less frazzled then I am this week! In case you missed them, here were the posts from this weekend:
Notice the short list of posts? Yeah…it was a busy weekend.
Another thing I forgot to mention this week? My weekly challenge.
My Weekly Challenge: Eat More Fruits & Veggies
Lately I’ve been slacking in the fruit & veggie department. I haven’t had too much time to put meals together, so many breakfasts and lunches are grab & go.
As I mentioned yesterday , my garden exploded and I now have a million tomatoes in my kitchen.
I’ll take this as a hint that I should be eating more veggies.
In my How-To series, I’ve given my favorite tips for
sneaking veggies in . While I don’t necessarily have time to make a smoothie (with spinach) every morning, I do plan on using my tips to bring veggies back into my life.
How will I do it?
- Fruit in the morning- I pretty much always add either strawberries or peaches to my breakfast, so I will continue to do that. Any piece of fruit counts!
- Fruit/veggies with lunch and dinner- I will eat some type of fruit or veggie with lunch and dinner.
- A salad a day- I’ve recently fallen in love with the simpleness of building salads, even though they are so delicious. Not to mention, I have about 2.5 million tomatoes to eat. I will be fitting a salad into my day, everyday. Note: I’ll be adding a salad to one of my meals, not replacing my meal with a salad.
- Try new fruits/veggies- When I lived in Hawaii I tried so many new fruits and vegetables, it was awesome. I think it’s really important to always try new foods, so I am going to search for new fruits and veggies that I haven’t tried before, or that I rarely eat.
Questions:
What’s your favorite fruit? Favorite veggie?
My favorite fruits are strawberries and mangoes. However, the mangoes have to be pretty much perfect…I’m picky with them! My favorite veggie would have to be either homegrown tomatoes (good thing I have so many in my kitchen!) or carrots. I could just sit and eat a whole bag of carrots all day, I may turn orange someday.
What’s your favorite way to eat fruits & veggies?
I love fruit no matter what. Fresh, baked in pie, in oatmeal, any way! Veggies, it depends on what kind they are! I can’t imagine eating brussel sprouts any way other than roasted. There are so many that I love eating raw, though!
