I'm Back!
Mama has been making us new types of food, with new vegetables. I like one of the vegetables, and the other two I don't normally like. You see, she found out that eating cruciferous Vegetables, (cabbage, brusselsprouts, brocoli, cauliflower, etc. i.e. cabbage family.) reduces your chance of cancer by 40 percent, if you increase your cruciferous vegetables by 20 percent. For mama and daddy this is fine. They love cabbage, brusselsprouts, and cauliflower. I like brocoli (especially steamed, but I'll eat it any way) daikon radish (in salad), and kale in green smoothies, but that is about it. At least, that was about it. I used to push my brusselsprouts away. Not anymore! I ask for them and I always want more. Why? My mom figured out a way to make them taste good. Without that yucky stringy-mashed-bananna-flavored-with-potatoe-peelings texture. Plus, their taste is different. What is the secret? Baked Brusselsprouts! Frozen baked brusselsprouts does not work. You have to have fresh ones.
Mama also experimented with making cauliflower so that I would eat it. I used to love it, and I still like it better raw than cooked, but I don't really like it. Mama tried baking it with indian spices yesterday evening, and that stuff was pretty good! I really like cauliflower "raw mexican rice." You can't even tell that it's cauliflower.

I hope you enjoy her recipes! Oh, by the way, She calls me "SisterBee" on that blog. |
