Let's Talk Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Tweet

I used to be 'the' pickest eater in the world. My parents were always complaining, and my husband's family couldn't understand. Actually very few could. But over the past couple of decades (I love being old enough to talk about my life in decades ) I have been enjoying fresh fruit and vegetables. For the vegetables, most of them I still preferred steamed or baked. But I also enjoy a cold salad, but with very limited items in it. I absolutely love baked squash. We picked up a few butternut squash this morning out at the farmer's market. I will bake them tomorrow morning when its cool, and after I cut them into squares, I will freeze them. There is nothing better in my mind than freshly baked squash in the dead of winter. We also picked up a couple of very large bags of apples. I prefer golden delicious, and I always count them when I take them out to wash them. My bag held 23 of them, all good sized. My husband got his large sized apples, they are a premium apple, so we get him seconds. Even with seconds his bag, which is full of very large apples, held 5 less than my bag did. At least 1 apple a day is what we enjoy around here. I also like some fresh blueberries or raspberries on my cereal in the mornings. And what do you get a craving for when it comes from the garden or orchard? ~Photo is mine of a haul after a trip to the market last summer
