Huh. I picked that I eat whatever I want. And I do. And I'm very Mother Jones. I eat hand milled porridge with fresh fruit and homemade soy milk for breakfast topped with fair trade coffee. My evening salad consists of 20 vegetables and homemade salad dressing with a flaxseed oil base. I even make my own horseradish sauce. I don't want anything else. And if that means a steak or fish or milk, I eat it. But it comes from very close to the earth. And it doesn't involve a snickers bar or deep fried or weird stuff.
20 vegetables?? I can't even name 20 vegetables!! What on earth do you put in you salad please?? Haha. Here goes.... in the order I build it.
Lettus, usually leafy read - depends on what the store has
Spinach
Red Onion (sliced thinly)
Radish (sliced thinly)
Beet (I grate it)
Corn (frozo)
Green Cabbage (shredded from TJs)
Red Cabbage (shredded, from my garden - they last forever)
Brussels Sprouts (shredded from TJs)
Broccoli (just the tops, no stems - those go in soup bases)
Radicchio (just one leaf, in small bits) Cucumber, but I don't particularly fancy these, so they are the first to get dropped
Carrots (babies)
Sugar Snap Peas
Tomatoes
Asparagus (top 1/3 of the stalk, from my garden usually)
Little Peppers (tri-color bag from TJs, chunked)
Jicama, when I can find it
Technically not veggies, but on my salad regardless...
Apple slices, when I have apples from my tree (usually starting August and they cellar until January)
Hardboiled Egg
Mung Bean Sprouts
Broccoli Sprouts
Peanuts
Mushrooms, sometimes
Strawberries, when I have too many and need to eat more
Ok, so only 18 veggies and the rest from non-vegs. But here's a picture of my salad from a few weeks ago. It was a small salad because we also had fish tacos. MMmmmmmm. Yum.
And porridge, quite the mix. I buy bulk grain and grind it in my KitchenAid grain grinder attachment. I just wander around and get anything that is a whole grain. And I add oats. Probably 10 - 14 different grains. I use it to make flour too. And I make my own soy milk.
Fruits:
Banana (always)
Strawberries (always)
Raspberries (always)
Blueberries (always)
Blackberries (seasonal, from the yard and from my mom)
Kiwi (only when it is good)
Mango (only when it is really good)
It works for me. OMG. In looking for pictures of my salad, I realize that I might be a little bit nuts about my food. So, yes, I eat whatever I want and lots of it. But no poptarts.
