Thursday Thirteen

Since I started changing my life towards being healthier, I have discovered a lot of foods that I had never tried or had previously disliked. It turns out when you get rid of a lot of the crappy food, whole new food worlds open up.

Thirteen Healthy Foods I’ve Discovered I Love

1. Garlic. I love garlic, but I never used it at all before I started eating healthier.
2. Broccoli. I used to hate broccoli, but it turns out I just prefer it steamed.
3. Pumpkin. Yum. I never knew what I was missing.
4. Mushrooms. It turns out that the canned crappy tiny mushroom bits that tasted like rubber that my family used to like are nothing like cooking with fresh ones.
5. Potatoes. Yet another things I simply prefer steamed. And baked. Hehe.
6. Multigrain bread.
7. Salads. Salads can be a lot more interesting and can have more variety than I realized. (Plus, my husband makes awesome dressing.)
8. Cinnamon. Who knew you could add it to so many things and that it’s actually good for your blood sugar?
9. Sushi! I love sushi. Absolutely love it.
10. Lamb’s fry. As in liver. It actually tastes pretty good.
11. Apples. Yum. I have re-cultivated my love for fruit.
12. Oysters. I’m not sure how good they are for you, but they’re yummy.
13. Salmon. I love salmon and it’s very good for you.
