So last night for the time in my life I had raw broccoli. I have always hated broccoli! The only times I would like broccoli was in my soup completely boiled to death. I would always know when my mom steamed broccoli cuz the house would get that weird broccoli smell. However, I had never tried them raw. To my surprise raw broccoli is wonderful! It's so crunchy and doesn't have the same taste as it does when it is steamed. I am now in love with raw broccoli.
I read that steaming your veggies is really bad it removes a lot of the nutrients and your body thinks it's a toxic. I can admit to that because I never would eat steamed veggies. I would mostly eat salad and once I started to go organic my mom made me steamed veggies and once I finished eating them I felt this weird tingling in my body. I figured it's because I never eat veggies. The next day I found out about raw veggies and I never felt that tingling sensation again.
On a side note, I bought some organic toothpaste yesterday! whoohoo! It's fluoride & sulfate free. No animal testing and so much more. I really like it so far. I will post more about it later once I've used it more.
Enjoy the day the Lord has made!

The switch to organic is always one that makes you feel so much better. I don't eat a lot of meat because I can't afford and I won't eat it unless it's organic, grass feed, and free roaming without antibiotics. I know how tough it can be - but it's so worth it!
ReplyDeleteI have a food blog that has a lot of vegetarian and organic cooking. Check it out if you need some help:

Hi Monica,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your words of encouragement! They are always wonderful to hear. I really haven't missed meat "yet" lol hopefully when I do I already know a few places I can buy them from that are organic, grass feed and free range. I just so distraught when I found out that cows, chickens and even fish get fed corn. Which is something I tried so hard to stay away from. I really don't want to just eat corn all my life lol
