How to get your husband to eat vegetables. Tip #3 Be organic where it counts

Okay, so my husband does not eat salad but I do!  If you are lucky enough to both enjoy salad be sure to go organic wear it counts!  Organic tomatoes are a must!  The taste better, are a rich red color, and no nasty pesticides. I try and buy all of my vegetables locally or organic.  When it comes to fruit I have a new hobby of picking them myself at local U-Pick farms (organic strawberries are a must here! Strawberries carry the most amount of bacteria and nasty pesticides).  In my favorite salad I add lettuce (whatever is on sale), organic tomatoes, organic sprouts, avocados from Mexico, organic garlic dressing, and low fat cottage cheese.

How to get your husband to eat vegetables. Tip #1 Introduce Vegetables in Small Quantities














It took me almost 5 years of being married to convince my husband to at least try spinach.  Tip #1 says introduce vegetables in small quantities.  As you can see, hubby's meal is on the left: angle hair pasta with creamy alfredo sauce, grilled shrimp scampi, and spinach cooked in extra virgin olive oil and garlic. I dish a portion to equal about 2 tastes, while my plate on the right has about 1 cup.
