I quickly realized that I liked vegetables, a lot! It took a while after that to learn how to prepare them myself, and now I am still learning how to prepare them in a healthy manner. Thanks for the encouraging post!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459146951939166743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-79597210296703339772010-04-22T09:30:35.194-04:002010-04-22T09:30:35.194-04:00Teresa,

How much do you add and what does it taste like?<br /><br />Your salad, cooked kale and soup also sound really good. You may have just given me a lunch idea. Thanks!<br /><br />Emma,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences with fruits and veggies. I think many people believe that vegans were born loving produce and that doesn't seem to be true for most of us. It does seem to be an acquired taste, but one that is well worth cultivating.<br /><br />Heather,<br /><br />Thanks, you are too sweet! :-) Swiss chard is something you will probably like. It has a very mild flavor, much more like spinach than the other greens. Since the leaves are bigger than spinach it is great for stuffing. I will try to pick some up soon and post my recipe for Sicilian stuffed chard.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36530130940812094002010-04-22T08:48:14.705-04:002010-04-22T08:48:14.705-04:00Hey pretty lady - thanks for sharing this.

Still out on some of the others though...Heather Iacobacci-Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14049797586960775747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-83807374149745159602010-04-22T04:24:08.342-04:002010-04-22T04:24:08.342-04:00Great!

Another reason to eat up those greens- I love them, steamed with lemon juice, s+p.<br /> There is definitely no reason why anyone can't change their diet. I used to be the fussiest eater, and plain pasta was my favourite food, I was not keen on veg and would not eat ANY fruit. I'm just 20 now and throughout my teens learnt to love the taste of whole foods and how they make me feel. It's not about depriving the body but nourishing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-61552705839279952372010-04-22T00:09:32.438-04:002010-04-22T00:09:32.438-04:00I love kale!

I blend kale, spinach, parsley, celery, lemon, a 1/2 beet, a thumb of ginger and aloe vera juice in my Vita Mix daily.<br />Fabulous!<br />Also love kale salads or sautted kale with orange juice, raisins and garlic.<br />Cannot go a day without greens! <br />Easy soup - tons of baby spinach, garlic, jerk seasoning, ginger and coconut milk.

Thanks. :-)

Now I am working on learning to love raw kale in salad. ;-)<br /><br />Dandelion greens are great, a little bitter but great. I make pesto out of them, or use them in soup or salad.<br /><br />Rainbow chard is another good one, but much more mild in flavor than the dandelion greens. I use it in place of spinach.<br /><br />Have you considered growing them? I think Rose has both in her garden this year. I know she planted dandelion greens.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-59236808989504108852010-04-21T22:53:34.058-04:002010-04-21T22:53:34.058-04:00Excellent post!

If it is dark and green and leafy I eat it. I have been trying to find dandelion leaves and some rainbow chard, but they are nonexistant here in Kansas I guess.crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.com
