strange cravings
Something just hit me. Something strange. Something I've honestly, NEVER experience before.
It started at lunch...annoyed with my salad that over the course of being in it's container for more than a few hours, got kinda pink and funky looking. The cheese on top kinda slimy. Not appetizing at all.
But the baked chicken breast was still good....wonderful, juicy, and lemon peppery just like the day I baked it. But it wasn't enough. I needed something else...I needed something green.
WHAT? Green.
And not just green, crisp, snappy. Something that tastes fresh.
So in the middle of the semi-spring-but-kinda-cold, and did I mention it's kinda raining..I tromped over to the grocery store.
In the fresh veggies aisle didn't give me anything I wanted. Sacks of salad, sure, but not what I wanted. Not even any of the little to-go baby carrots or broccoli.
Canned? Ugh...the thought of a vegetable out of a can didn't convey to me fresh, or crisp. It was more "works in a pinch, but don't expect the veggie to snap".
So I cruised over to the frozen food aisle. Ice cream, no. Garlic bread, no. But then I saw it. Frozen veggies....and not just frozen veggies...the Birdseye Steam pack ones...and to make it even better....they were on sale. I was only .69 away from my fresh-tasting, crisp bliss. :)
And let me tell you, they are good. And sometimes, albeit maybe just this once...it's good to give into your cravings!

Good cravings are good. It's great when your body tells you that it wants VEGGIES! I'm proud of you for giving in to that one.

Yummmmm!
I am with you about the Birdseye Steamed Veggies. They are so good. Whenever I go to the supermarket I load up on them for the family. You have to try the Brocolli, cauliflower, red pepper, corn combo if you haven't already.
Good for you on the healthy choice
