    Salads! I used to think folks who ate salads at lunch or dinner were nuts. Now I love them and actually crave them occasionally.

    KALE. Can't get enough. Also, I would never touch so many things that I now eat all the time -- mushrooms and almonds are two that come to mind.



    I would love to try some Kale but not sure how to prepare!!!! suggestions?

    eggwhites, hardboiled eggs (ok, i don't LOVE them, but they're a great addition to a salad for some extra protein), quinoa

    brussell sprouts and hummus

    Together? I have 1 brussel sprout for christmas dinner but thats all I can handle.

    For me I love toasted seeds & almonds. 0% fat greek yoghurt with a little bit of honey, and swapping everything possible for wholegrain.

    Lentils! A year ago I never imagined I'd crave them, but now I do.

    Egg white omelettes (and eggs in general), roasted cauliflower, chick peas, trail mix and fish. Although - I always liked these foods, I just never chose them over unhealthier options.

    Avocados!!! So good on everything! I love to saute red, yellow, and orange peppers, mushrooms, and onion and add it to my eggs in the morning. Its a good way to start the day.

    Hmm, "grown to love". I'm really not sure I've grown to love anything that I didn't already love, though there are tons of unhealhty foods I used to love that I just find disgusting now.

    It's really good mixed with spicy beans and brown rice. Just cook the beans and rice and some no/low salt cajun or bayou seasoning. When it's done add chopped kale, stir and turn off the heat. In 5 -6 min the kale will wilt and turn very bright green. Then it's ready. This works will other greens too (turnip, collards, mustard).

    To cook it plain I put olive oil and a splash of water or stock in the bottom of a deep pan over medium heat. Add the kale and some garlic and cook, stirring frequently so the kale cooks evenly. It's done in just a few minutes when it wilts and turns bright green. Don't let it go too far. If it turns to a dull green many of the nutrients will be destroyed. Serve with a little low sodium soy sauce and slivered almonds (if desired).
