At the beginning of the summer, I began a joint and rather unfocused effort to work out more (which included biking and running) and eat healthier (including fewer complex carbs, less refined sugar, and more produce).
Why did I do this? Black beans, it turns out, are a superfood. I've never liked them. Not refried beans either. But I was out in Breck and had a really good wrap with black beans, cheese, avocado, and some other goodies. "I need to eat more of these," I thought to myself. So I did. I set out to like them, and I think I can officially say that I do! I even made a black bean and veggie soup from scratch not too long ago!
Now I'm working on the whole mushroom family. I've had a lukewarm relationship with mushrooms for a while - they've been okay in a sauce or as a subtle flavor, but not as the big show. It's a work in progress, but there's progress indeed.
And just the other day I decided what my next food love was going to be, but for now it's escaping me.
teehee. Update when you remember! Beets?
ReplyDeleteBeets! That was it! But now I have one vote for and one against.
ReplyDeleteBeets are heavenly. Try a chocolate beet cake. That'll win ya over.
