My Journey Through The Garden.
For the next year (every month) I will try a fruit or vegetable I have never eaten in my adult life. I will write an article on each food’s taste, health benefits, and my experience. I will also makes videos of some of the more exciting experiences, for example; if I am going to have to travel to a farmers market to buy it or if I make a recipe. I will even record when I am scared to try something (yeah you will get to see me freak out over trying new things).
For those of you who know me, this is a big deal. I hate trying new foods. Here we go!
May 2010 is… ACORN SQUASH
I picked out an acorn squash at my local grocery store when I was purchasing the ingredients for Butternut Squash & beef stew. It just called out to me, and it had a sticker on it with simple recipe (slice in ½ and microwave, add brown sugar, and cinnamon). I tried it without the brown sugar or cinnamon.
Two weeks went by before I even considered trying it… It is now one of my favorite foods!
