Vegetables... yeeeeahh, about that...

I tend to eat my words when I speak in absolutes, but I'm not too worried whenever I talk about vegetables. I can only list four off of the top of my head that I will willingly eat:

1. Mushrooms

2. Corn

3. Tomatoes

4. Sweet Potatoes

And I just learned that corn is starting to be considered a starch. And tomatoes are technically a fruit. And mushrooms taste like whatever they're cooked with. So, I like sweet potatoes.

I'm fixin' to change that - one veggie at a time.* (*until I get to ten. Then I stop.)

My goal over the next few years (and especially in the winter months when fruits are way too expensive) is to learn how to cook 10 veggies in a way that is both healthy and delicious. This generally means I can no longer rely on my old faithful way of cooking them - covered in cheese or butter.

Now would be a great time for you all to leave links to or instructions for your favorite veggie delights.

Also, as a clerical note, this is taking the place of #6: Scuba Dive. More on that in a later post.
