For those of you who know me...which is probably all of you. You know that I MAYBE eat 3 vegetables all together. Well, I have been working with the trainer (envision her talking at me and me giving her a lot of eye rolls) on eating properly. First of all, I just want to say eating healthy is not fun, it's expensive, and kind of time consuming. One of her goals for me is to eat more vegetables, which means I have to TRY more vegetables. BLECH!
She insisted that I try a Jicama. She said it's sweeter like an apple. I don't know what kind of apple she is eating but I disagree. Anyway, she said you just peel it, cut it up, and eat it. And if I didn't like it I could dip it in peanut butter, hummus, or something like that. So, I figured what do I have to lose?!
Ok, so I finally worked up the courage to try it with moral support from a friend. I started to peel it only to realize that our potato peeler sucked and that wasn't going to do the job. So I got a paring knife. Unfortunately, since I never cook I have no business using a paring knife and was almost certain I was going to cut off a finger trying to peel this baby. Luckily, my friend was all over that. The Jicama was peeled before I knew it and I was putting a piece of that potato looking veggie in my mouth.
It really doesn't have that much flavor and was kind of boring to eat by itself. So, I promptly got out the peanut butter which made everything better. I'll chalk this one up as a win. It didn't make me gag and it's supposedly good for me. So I bought another one. Any suggestions on what I should try next?
