    Oh, and if you knew how they process "egg whites" and the rejected cracked, eggs that are used for these, you would never eat them again.

    What do you do with the quinoa? I tried to use it a few years ago but must not have had a very good recipe because it wasn't very good.... Would like to incorporate this into my diet, but don't know how to use it. Thanks!

    Fish and Brussels sprouts. For a long time I thought I hated both. Now I've learned that I just hated the way my parents prepared them.


    YES!!! I'm exactly the same! My mom had 1 fish dish, that was made in the microwave....mmhmm no wonder I thought I hated fish.

    Mushrooms! Mama loves her mushrooms but didn't know until this year. I put that *kitten* on everything. :smile:

    In some cases, I have replaced mushrooms for meat.

    I need to try more items on this post.

    I just cook it and use it like rice (directions should be on the package) but you absolutely have to rinse it well first. I also have a recipe that's basically tomato sauce on quinoa.

    My "discovered" food would be nutritional yeast. Also plain oatmeal - who knew oatmeal was edible without brown sugar?

    Broccoli slaw! Just had some last night with bolognese sauce. Makes the best spaghetti substitute, IMO. Now that I'm thinking about it, I want some more...

    Mangoes, I thought I always hated mangoes but apparently my taste changed when I cut the crap, or maybe I learned how to pick rip ones. LOL I eat one almost every single day now. Ooh and champagne mangoes, so yummy!

    Sweet potatoes too. I thought they were the same as yams which I hate. Haha
