Hey all - Just curious about others' experiences with taste buds! After a couple of weeks of cleaned up eating (less junk!) I cannot believe that I actually look forward to my afternoon snack of strawberries in vanilla yogurt! Or that "fried" spinach (just put in the frying pan with a tiny little bit of oil) and garlic is delicious!

What foods are you eating (and enjoying - not just choking down) have you discovered?

    Never really cared for olives, but I have antipasto on crackers, and I love it!

    i was never an oatmeal fan, but i was getting really impatient this morning waiting for it to finish cooking.

    LOVE putting cinnamon in it!

    everything!
    This goes back years though. When my husband met me just over 8 years ago I pretty much only ate chicken fingers and french fries. Now I eat more food that he does! I love buffalo wings ( and if prepared correctly they're not bad for you) and I looove seafood, just abou any kind.
    Recently, I've tried quinoa and really like it and I've been eating more fresh spinach, I'm still not a huge fan of plain, cooked spinach but I will eat it.

    Quinoa. I have tried so many different recipes. Some I've loved, others....... not so much. I tried the kale chips, but couldn't get past the aftertaste. Stays with you for a while.....

    Spinach, now I love em. I guess we carry the children-being-afraid-of-vegies-syndrom. As long as fitness works as a catharsis through it, we love what we used to hate :laugh:

    I was leery about trying quinoa, but now I'm a total fan (I like it better than rice). I eat it as a side dish and cook it in low sodium chicken broth - totally yummy and quick/easy to cook!

    I bake them like 4 or 5 at a time and keep them on hand in the fridge. I put one in my post workout shake w/ vanilla protein powder sometimes...It's really good IMO :-)
