Okay guys and gals! I am heading to the grocery store today...I know, bad day to pick to go. Why is it that Sundays always seem to be the worst days for the grocery store? They are here at least. :ohwell:

I'm stocking up on my veggies and fruit, and am curious....

What are ya'lls favortie veggies in salads? Or just in general to eat? I love making different salads, but was wanting to know...what do you guys put in your salads to give it that extra zing?!?

    I love all fresh veggies in salads. My new favorite not salad veggie though is spaghetti squash. Even my boys love it. It is so easy to make and because it is one of the high water veggies you fill up on far less calories than eating regular spaghetti.

    My new addiction is brocolli slaw. It is so crunchy, it adds a little something different to a salad/
