Think I am hooked, love them ice cold....dang I am getting old!!!

It's great when you find somthing healthy that you truly love. I feel that way about cauliflower. Yup, cauliflower. Who knew?

[sept15lija]

LOL Robin I was going to say cauliflower too!! I never knew I even liked the stuff until I started on this, but now a day hardly goes by that I don't eat at least a cup or so of it! (raw, I don't really like it cooked yet).

I love grapefruit too but I don't eat it very often due to reactions it has with various medications.

One of my fairly recent loves is Kale. I love Kale and I get excited when I see it on sale at the store.

[rockinrobin]

Liz, I eat 3 cups of cauliflower at a time. 3 cups, 84 calories and 12 gms of fiber. I eat it at least 5 times a week, cooked in a little chicken broth. Firm, not mushy

I'm not a lover of grapefruit. I've yet to try kale. It's in the spinach family isn't it? I DO love spinach and eat it often.

[nelie]

Kale is a green. I like spinach but I think kale has a much better flavor and texture.

I bought some cauliflower today but not sure how I'm going to cook it yet. Maybe roasted in the oven.

I love fresh Pineapple! It is sweet and really satisfies my sweet tooth. Yummy!

For all of you kale lovers out there, here is a terrific and easy recipe to try (you can also substitute spinach):

Sauteed Kale w/ Garlic and Lemon

Bring large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add 1 Tbsp salt and 2 lb fresh kale, rinsed. Stir until kale is just wilted, about 2 min, then drain and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Drain well, pressing as much liquid out as possible. Transfer kale to cutting board and coarsely chop. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add either 1 Tbsp olive oil or 1/4 c chicken broth. Saute 4 cloves of thinly sliced garlic for 1-2 minutes until golden. Add chopped kale and gently toss with garlic until heated through (about 2-3 min). Season with juice from one lemon and salt/pepper if desired. (Serves 4)

I just discovered fresh spinach. It's delicious! I don't like the cooked variety... yet.

[shrinkingchica]

Yup I love grapefruit too! (I wonder why it is called that......?)

But, I can't have any as it has some negative reation with a medicine I take, there is a big warning on the prescription label.

Its almost summertime and my favorite veggie will be in abundant supply...yellow squash...*sigh*...yummy! I cook it with an onion and sometimes add mushrooms and/or zucchini.

I can't wait to get back to the states and get the prodcue I love and yogurt I love fresh and right off the truck so to speak. I also will grow feathers and gills from all the chicken and fish I eat. (They have warnings here about the bird flu so we conly get frozen chicken from the states.)

The food I miss the most is fage yogurt. They tried to get it in the commissary for me but no deal. I love the yogurt with fresh blueberries and oats. Healthy and just a great way to start the day.

[nelie]

Dolly, why don't you make your own greek yogurt? I've made it before with a coffee filter and plain nonfat yogurt. All you need to do is let it strain overnight in the fridge.

[DollyR]

Do you just pin it over another bowl? Would cheesecloth work just as well? I think you and I have discussed this before and I have never gotten around to trying to because I was looking for cheese cloth which is another non-exsistanct item here.

[nelie]

Cheesecloth or coffee filter. I put a strainer on top of a bowl and put the coffee filter inside the strainer. You then dump the yogurt into the strainer/coffee filter thing and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
