They are also easy to grow – they have taken over my whole garden. Of course you only have them fresh from your garden during the short season they are ripe. But what a treat!

chop ‘em like a thick french fry and layer them in a crock pot with sprinkled brown sugar (and mini marshmallows if you want). Squeeze in the juice of an orange and cook on medium for 6-8 hours. It’s more of a Fall than a summer dish but its easy and delicious.

I make the kale chips, too – we love them. I bought one of those oil spritzers and mix up olive oil and balsamic vinegar and spray it on the leaves before putting them in the oven – gives a salty taste without the sodium.

I wouldn’t eat kale plain like a green – but we eat a ton of these chips!

I grew up on a farm that sold strawberries. We never grew them in sand and were very careful to not use pesticides. It may depend on the area you live in.

How can you not like sweet potatoes? Unless you’re eating ‘em canner or your only exposure has been the godawful Thanksgiving/holiday sweet potatoes w/marshmallows. Whoever invented that recipe should spend a good long time in Purgatory repenting.

Try the white Japanese sweet potatoes. Real yams are better (more expensive usually, but not that much, if you can actually find them).

And people who hate eggplant don’t know what they’re missing. See Szechuen eggplant stirfry–again, use Japanese or Thai eggplants. But my favorite eggplant recipe that takes oodles of time and effort is a good eggplant moussaka, from scratch.

Judy, quinoa is a highly nutritious seed that cooks up like a grain in about 12 minutes, 2-1 water. Wash it first, bring it to a quick boil, then turn to low for 10. Find it in any health food store. Here’s a great easy recipe for Mediterranean quinoa salad: http://feelgoodguru.com/earth-day

How about sweet potato fries? You can make them pretty crunchy, more like a chip, or more leathery, depending on how you cook them.

No excuses for not eating healthy with this grocery list in hand. I hear way too many people saying they can’t afford to eat healthy because in their mind they think it means eat organic.

These sound mostly gross. Also, carrots lead to the messiest BMs EVER. I eat quite healthy, but I avoid C-rots for that very reason.
