June 17th-An Uncommon Holiday
Fresh Vegetables
Eat Your Vegetables Day
There’s a lot of weird food holidays most of us are unaware of: Popcorn Day, Corned Beef & Cabbage Day, Apple Dumpling Day, Cashew Day, Pickle Day, Buttermilk Biscuit Day, the list goes on and on. As someone who has always enjoyed baking and cooking (and in a former life had a cupcakery-that’s a cupcake bakery for all of you who aren’t familiar), I will use any excuse to celebrate with food. And now that National Rocky Road Day has come and gone without me bingeing on something atrociously sweet, I’m already prepping for Eat Your Vegetables Day on June 17th. In fact, I’m trying to make a whole month out of it. Our dinner menu this week is 75% veggies. Tomorrow night for dinner, we’re walking to our local farmer’s market and making a meal out of the fresh vegetables they have available. I’m trying some new recipes I’ve never tried before. I’m even going to try roasted spinach this week.
So, try it with me. Eat some more vegetables. Feel better, have more energy, and feel good about what you’re putting into your body. After all, it is your temple and you’ve been charged with the duty of keeping it well. Enjoy, and to your health!
