Zucchini for me?
Guess what? Zucchini is good for you. I bet you probably knew that. Do you eat it regularly? I never have, never did. This was the food of the week in Deb's world. I promised I would try Zucchini. My biggest question was what the heck to do with it? Just chop it up into a salad, broil it - make Zucchini chips or what? I posted the question to my FB page and got a ton of responses, too many to handle actually. I figured out that Zucchini basically has a mild flavor and usually takes on the flavors of things around it.
So first, I tried it raw, just a slice, just to see what it was like. It was okay. I did not have a horrible or adverse reaction, but I tell you the truth, it took me quite a long time to actually take that bite. This is part of my problem, the food phobia thing. But I didn't die - I'm still alive and well, and Zucchini is not my enemy. So now that I know it is harmless, the question remains -what can I really do with it. I just ate it with some strawberries and that seemed to work well for me. I'm wondering what other combinations would work well, and even considered slapping on some natural peanut butter to the thing. Maybe next time. Oh, and yes, there will be a next time. I promise.
As always, make champion choices,
Debra
