Thursday 13 - New foods I've tried recently or will try soon


I'm following a Daniel Fast (Daniel ch. 1 in the bible.) For more information on the fast reread some of my previous posts!

1. Dried Figs - Discovered that I really love these.

2. 100% Carrot Juice - Bolthouse Farms brand is the best.

3. White Asparagus - Haven't tried yet.

4. Butter crunch lettuce - Pretty good but I think I prefer darker greens.

5. Beets - Tried when I was a kid. Made me gag. Going to attempt to try them again.

6. Eggplant - I've cooked this before but it's never turned out right. It's always too soft and watery. I'm going to try this one again hopefully with success this time.

7. Dried Prunes - Ick!

8. Homemade veggie burgers following this recipe. - Haven't tried this yet but I plan to maybe try this tomorrow night.

9. Tossed salad with olive oil as dressing. - I had never done this before but now that I have I am a complete convert. I think I'm going to buy a cruet and start making my own dressings. Yum!

10. Artichoke hearts - Bought a jar of these but they scare me. How do you eat them anyway?

11. Split pea soup without meat - I usually can't stomach this soup without turkey bacon, turkey ham or some other kind of meat in it. I found a simple looking vegetarian recipe that I want to try.

12. Fresh pineapple - I've only ever tried the canned stuff. Every year for Christmas we get a fresh pineapple in a fruit basket from my husband's boss. The pineapple always goes bad before I get a chance to try it - plus it intimidates me a bit. So I want to tackle this spiked fruit once and for all lol.

13. Roasted Garlic Cloves - Tried this once before. Don't remember how it turned out but it seems like it was bad. I would like to try this again.

I love dried figs... in the form of Fig Newtons. I'd love to give the white asparagus a try. I love the green ones.

Your list is great--lots of fun things to try. I feel the same way about beets--I have tried them again as an adult and I can get them down now, but it still takes work. As for artichoke hearts, they are wonderful--I like them canned in water, rather than oil, as it's healthier, but regardless, they are wonderful on pizza.

Happy TT!

That is hilarious! You and I have the same pineapple issue. I'm so glad that I'm not alone. lol

I actually like dried prunes. I have some in our cupboard and eat them every once in awhile. I feel the same way about pineapples as you do! Pineapples is one of my faves!
