<p>Take care</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Trying more and more to consume more greens.  Whether it be in smoothies, at the dinner table or even just walking by the kitchen and grabbing a snack.  </p>
<p>Maybe I need more green ideas.</p>
<p>So with that I am asking you.</p>
<p>What is your favorite green?</p>
<p>I think mine would have to be baby spinach.  It is versatile, mild and can be used hot or cold in a variety of ways.  It is good for you&#8230; or so you hear.  I really like to lay some in a bowl and ladle hot soup or stew over the top, throw 2-3 cups in a smoothie at times, or make a great summer salad in replace of the traditional lettuce.</p>
<p>Below are some of my previous uses for spinach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Happy Friday!  Well the end of the week is here and I was debating on what to talk about today. I tossed around a couple of dessert ideas with some strawberries and realized that I haven&#8217;t written a fun post in a long time.  Now my idea of fun may not be the same as yours but lets give it a try.  I am here in Virginia prepping for a conference and thought I would do a re post and get some more chatter going from a few years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Name one food you hated as a child but LOVE now!  Leave a comment and tell me the food.  If I get 100 comments on this post &#8211; I win a bet with a friend and I hate losing so make sure you tell your answer!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-2912 aligncenter" title="beets" src="http://zestycook.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/beets.jpg" alt="beets" width="500" height="375" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>For me it has to be &#8220;BEETS&#8221;.  I was totally against them as a child and never wanted to touch them.  I would see my mom making beet preserves and eating them all summer with everything from meat and potatoes to summer hams and roasted beet salad.  I wanted to stay as far away from them as humanly possible.  Then maybe 5 years ago, I tried mom&#8217;s beets and guess what&#8230; I loved them!  The texture and flavor was sensational and now I cannot get enough of them.  I pretty much clean her preserves out when I go over there for dinner.  Oh dear &#8211; sometimes I wonder about myself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am on the road next week but I have rounded up some guest posts for the week.  I will be in (what better be) &#8220;Sunny&#8221; Florida for the week on business but I shall return.  I will be fully active with the blog next week so feel free to  keep your comments coming.</p>
<p>Now do not forget &#8211; I want to know the answer to the question: <strong>Name one food you hated as a child but LOVE now! </strong></p>
<p>Take care</p>
<p>zesty</p>
