Lettuce is ok cooked, it gets a little chinese cabbage-like. But it's my least favorite vegetable haha, cucumber however is lovely raw (with dip, dressing or marinated, or simply in a sandwich) or cooked 😊
What would we do w/out you Maggie? You truly are so intelligent & always keeping everything so real… I’ve been a vegetarian since I was about 16 yrs old… Salads, Soups, & Pasta are my jam… I definitely know the difference when I eat crappy or not enough at all… Trying to lose weight from all the damn steroids of cancer treatment has led me to a ridiculous almost starvation type of diet…I truly needed to find this today… Always thanking you for your wit & charm… I have researched some incredible people on Substack that provide amazing Mediterranean Recipe’s… They may be interested in collaborating w/you?!? I will try to find names for you & get back to you this week… PS I know your clients love & adore you… even the ones that may mind a little bit of cussing… In my opinion, why go w/dull & boring…As your special talent leaves us laughing & motivated… It’s part of your charm & what makes you stand out above all the rest!💙💕
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Sheryl. The starvation type diet worries me a little though, have you discussed this with a nutritionist? Steroids will have an impact on our weight for sure, but we are not meant to starve ourselves, it doesn't help you lose weight anyway because your body will then just try to hold onto what it has and slow down your metabolism. Always here if I can help in any way.
I've learned how to prioritize veggies and fruits and nuts in my diet. I only eat what I like. A lot of veggies require fats--sweet potatoes, carrots, etc.--to realize their nutritional value.
I thought at first that you were talking about having more veggies but I'm pretty sure you meant the group? Sorry, apparently the snot messed a bit more with my head than I thought!
Protip: pureed MAGAs are NOT a good source of magnesium, as much as some of us would like them to be, nor are they vegetables, as much as some of us think they are.
I just now got the image, its an onion and rings lol...onion rings. oh my brain
Hahaha sorry!
Maggie, I love how you wrote a whole post full of profanity to pitch eating your vegetables. Just eat your damn vegetables!
Why not use these skills for good, am I right? 😂
Swearing, sarcasm, creative word smithing, ADHD, coaching, and to tie it all back together. "Now that is a fruit salad, yummy yummy". :)
Thank you so much Andrew! I'm glad you liked it ❤️
Yes to coaching program for ADHDers who want to work on their health.
I'm so glad that so many people think it's a good idea! If you like, I can send you a message when I got all the details? If not, no worries at all 🙏
What's wrong with raw vegetables?
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum, beetroot (that does need cooking) served cold, rocket, spring onions, I'll stop there.
Toss it all in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.....
I can eat it, but never just by itself, and if I have the option my veggies will generally be cooked 🤷♀️ Just a preference!
Oooohhh…. now cooked lettuce is something I've not tried, but if you do them right, you can cook cucumber no problem!

This is something I am only now, at the age of 32, learning. My body doesn't know what hit it.
Yep, it does take some adjusting. But it's so good that you are learning! Some people never do.

This is a great idea, Maggie, for everyone.
