Coming Clean

There is something very strange about me that probably to some sounds very, very, odd.

I love green smoothies. I love Brussels Sprouts. On frequent occasion I drink apple cider vinegar (well just a small gulp). I prefer whole wheat bread over white any day and turn up my nose at margarine.

I am very much a health nut.

I was the girl who took spinach quiche to work for lunch and thus received many descriptive comments. Best one "is that something not digested properly by a cow"?

Recently I even made yogurt in little dorm room in a crock pot. Just go ahead and call me Miss Domestic.

Before you think that I am person who eats perfectly healthy every single day, including Thanksgiving, let me just wipe that notion from your brain.

I love freshly fried mozzarella sticks. I love curly fries. I love pizza (I recently ate it almost 5 nights in a row and didn't feel the least bit guilty). I love chips and dip, the cheesy kind of course. I love to put whipped cream on cereal and Pb and banana sandwiches because it just makes me smile and the added fat keeps your fuller. Ahem.

And of course I love ice cream. Its in my gens and I can't help it and yes I will blame my infatuation with ice cream on my family. Whenever a certain aunt and I are together we manage to make it a point to sample ice cream at as many places as possible. My grandma ate a good amount of ice cream and lived a very long and of course a very happy life since she did not deny herself the pleasure of creamy goodness.

However when I've been eating lots of foods that just taste good because they have all sorts of bad things in them I begin to stop liking them. Suddenly all I want is platters full of lush green lettuce. I want to drink smoothies full of homemade yogurt and thus full of good nutrients.

I crave healthiness. Its just something in me that won't go away, no matter how hard I try to stay away from health food. Well true I don't try very hard...

There I have divulged a piece of information about myself and please don't feel that you have to be a health nut to read this blog, because obviously I'm not a health nut.

I'm not sure why I just wrote a long post about food, but maybe its a sign that I should go have some Brussels sprouts and ice cream. Not together of course.
