Vegetables....Don't Like 'Em!

I suddenly understand why processed food tends to be the path of least resistance in modern life!
I went to the fridge this morning to make up a salad to go with dinner and found that my cucumber was a soggy, frozen...thing. My bag of cos lettuce was no better but I did managed to salvage a few leaves from it. With fresh food, you have to eat it fresh. If it's dying in your fridge, it means you're not eating it fast enough! I know when I'm eating healthy I am constantly having to replenish my fruits and vegetables many times during the week.

Thankfully, help is at hand because a new fruiterer has opened up five minutes away from my house! The prices seem reasonable and I'd rather buy from the grower (which this fruiterer is) than from the supermarket who can up the prices of fresh fruit and veg big-time.

I have contemplated vegetarianism, except...I'm fussy. When it comes to vegetables I have a VERY limited palate. In fact, in order to up my nutrients, I quite often will blitz a handful of frozen spinach in my tabletop blender and mix it in with whatever I'm cooking because I can't stand the stuff! But I'm trying. Lately there's been so much illness going around and I have had so little energy that now I'm trying to boost myself up with as many nutrients as I can, while looking after my weight. And it's not that hard, really. But I have to really plan my meals in advance so that I do end up using those fresh vegetables and so that they don't go to waste. Once that becomes more of a habit it shouldn't be so hard.
