And I'm like you with stir fries, I went off them, then when I realised the extent of my daughters love of Asian noodles I did some reading and some practicing and now I've got a couple of standard crowd pleasers. And my kids are fruit mad, especially the older one, the fruit bowl is emptied every couple of days and needs restocking.

Like you we eat mostly veg in our house, I eat apples on the occasion for morning tea while at work. I have slowly been juicing more and more fruit in the mornings, so I am starting to even out our veg overload. My hubby has been home for just over two weeks and we had our first meal with beef in it last night. I think we may of had chicken once as well while he was home. Otherwise its been veg, veg and more veg for dinner.

But when dinner was served it usually featured a canned or frozen hot vegetable - and the big salad of leafy greens. EVERY night. My grandmother, though, would prepare fresh peas, fresh green beans...anyway, it all added up to me loving vegetables more than anything. I do prefer them cooked, and like it if I can have some 3x a day. So I make plenty to provide leftovers that can be heated with a fried egg on top. One hard thing about traveling is the almost certain lack of veggies in the quantity I'm used to.<br /> Thank you for a post that makes me happy, reading about someone who has the same feelings. :-) Oh, and being in the U.S. I didn't know at first what you meant by red capsicum, but Wikipedia enlightened me.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-48111985009200633602013-08-28T08:26:38.715+10:002013-08-28T08:26:38.715+10:00Good girl :-) i actually prefer vegies to fruit, a...Good girl :-) i actually prefer vegies to fruit, and prefer my fruit cooked - as in cakes or pies :-) but oh, capsicum! i am really having a red capsicum crush right now, eating slices of it for an after-work snack. e / dig in hobarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448702578845994922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172003914969783059.post-38048420369577296332013-08-27T17:34:11.582+10:002013-08-27T17:34:11.582+10:00Hi there... an interesting post!

I am quite shocked by the diets of a lot of families around me, most children that visit my home will not drink fresh water or eat vegetables. It is an increasing problem in today's society.

Really, it is not difficult or necessarily expensive. I laughed at your bombe Alaska comment! <br /><br />All of your vegetable meals look delicious. <br /><br />This week I made a simple 'greens' pie which made me think of you.
