Eat your peas. They'll make you pretty.

When I was younger, you could not do ANYTHING to make me eat peas. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I must have been about 4 years old when my mom finally said, "eat your peas. They'll make you pretty." I just looked at her with the saddest puppy-dog eyes and said sincerely, "then I don't want to be pretty."

 
While I still don't like the taste of peas, I do understand the importance of eating my veggies. I think I can honestly say that peas might be the only veggie I don't like.

I am very passionate about eating healthy and think you should be, too! Check out my friend, Claire's, blog, "Heavy on the Veggie," here. You will not be disappointed! She does a great job explaining the benefits of certain foods, but what I like most is that her advice is based on fact and not just opinion. Oh, and she's guaranteed to make you laugh, too! You're welcome.  

Now, go eat your veggies!
