So in the months since the babe has been born I’ve been trying hard to get my eating habits together. The trouble is, I basically don’t like very many healthy foods… particularly vegetables. How is that for a grown woman to admit? Basically the one form in which I actually enjoy vegetables (besides my favorite green smoothie recipe) is in a green salad!
