I never liked grapefruit. I tried it several times as a teen and young adult; I tried it warmed with some equal, I tried it cubed up with other fruits but I could not find it enjoyable, or even palatable. I thought it was just one of those healthy foods I would never warm up to, so I stopped trying.

I can't really recall how or when this change happened, but I LOVE grapefruit now! I love it's tartness, it's juiciness, how it satisfies and makes me feel so damn healthy and good about myself… it has become a staple in my eating routine, and it sometimes amazes me. :)


How about you? What food did you used to hate, but now love?

    Mushrooms!!!

    As a kid you couldn't get me to touch them. Now, they are one of my most favorite things :)

    I have developed a taste for grilled fish.
    We all want to be healthier, and so I grudgingly tried grilled salmon, tuna and even trout.
    It's not a t-bone...lol...but I have learned to love it.

    Raisins and cashews...protein, fiber and carbs. Hated both until I needed fuel for running; they fill me up and make me feel great!

    Bell Peppers and Raw Onions. I really thought I was allergic to bell peppers, but now I like them in a lot of things. :)

    Cottage cheese.
    Broccoli.

    Oh, almost forgot. Tomatoes both raw and cooked. I even made and canned tomato soup this year along with stewed tomatoes. The soup came out sooooo yummy. Ummm and feta cheese.

    I agree... same with cauliflower. If it 's cooked, I'll eat it with anything.
