Poll: Which veggies did you eat today?

In an effort to encourage or support others- what veggies did you eat today?

I ate: romaine lettuce, spinach, brocolli sprouts, carrots, green onions, red peppers and tomatos in a salad. (4 cups worth!)

also had steamed sweet potato, kohlrabi, and rutabaga mashed with a little bit of salt.

So that's 11 dif veggies, and definitely enough servings for a day!

Blueberries, orange, tomato, corn, red peppers, lettuce - pretty light veg day.

Friday, April 28, 2006, 10:55 PM

lettuce, mixed greens, tomato, red pepper, green pepper, eggplant, onion, peas, water chestnuts, baby corn.

what is steamed sweet potao like?

Saturday, April 29, 2006, 4:15 PM

since when are apples and blueberries and bananas and pears, vegetables?

to the op: is there a reason you picked veggies in particular, rather than fruit and veg?

So far, It's only been 2 slices of pickles. and ketchup if you follow the Gov't standard on veggies. LOL

That's okay, I plan to eat some squash, lettuce, tomatoes & broccoli tonight with dinner!

OP- cuz veggies are usually better for people with candida- fruit is great, but some people have to limit fruit ingestion for health reasons- usually temporarily. Plus I like fruit- it's easy for me to eat it... not so easy to find ways to eat veggies. (that day I'd had a fruit salad with strawberries, rasperries, banana, and grapes- I was out of watermelon...)

steamed sweet potato is much mushier/"soggier" than regular pototoes. Part of why I add the kohlrabi- kohlrabi doesn't mash like potato no matter how long you cook it. I was also out of turnip that day- I usually mash the sp, rutabaga, and kohlrabi with turnip.

i had baby carrots, roasted zuchini, brocoli, and pesto sauce (made w/ basil. i think that counts)

I have a question-- how do you eat Kohlrabi? I've never had it before. What does it taste like? A turmip? Is it bitter?

Sunday, April 30, 2006, 1:07 AM

typical day:

veggies: spinach, romaine lettuce, red pepper, mushrooms, tomato, cucumber, carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, olives, onion, corn, eggplant, pea pods

fruit: apples, pears, oranges, kiwi... cheap to buy in bulk frozen berries and mango

kohlrabi isn't bitter. I find the texture to be kinda a cross between watermelon and potato- it's starchy, but less dense than a potato. Kinda a mild, only slightly woody taste. Def milder than turnip. Also is great shredded on a salad.

My lunch had broccoli sprouts, spinach and romaine- about 4 1/3 cups worth... still deciding what I'm going to eat for dinner...

Sunday, April 30, 2006, 8:40 PM

Okra, green beans, corn, cole slaw, sweet potato, carrots

Sunday, April 30, 2006, 11:48 PM

eggplant, red peppers, zucchini, artichoke hearts, onion, tomato, mushrooms

Monday, May 1, 2006, 12:44 PM

carrots, mixed greens, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, asparagus, sweet potato

Monday, May 1, 2006, 1:59 PM

Thanks for the info on Kohlrabi--I've never tried it before!
Do you have any particularly good recipes?

Monday, May 1, 2006, 2:04 PM

lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers (boring, I know!)

Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 2:00 AM

I'm sure that this doesn't count.

French fried potatoes.

Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 4:39 PM

personally, french fries count about as much as ketchup does. Now, they *might* count a little more if made from scratch- but if they didn't come from a pototo you had to cut yourself, I wouldn't count that as a veggie serving...

Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 7:56 PM

french fries count ...

Thank you for this thread. I am very proud of my veggie intake toda! Usually it is not so good.

spinach, mixed greens, carrots, peas, tomatoes, asparagus

planning to eat green beans with dinner ...
