I love this idea! Count me in. Let’s spread veggie diversity love : )

As to new foods in the past week: Quinoa pasta (LOVE), Teff wraps (interesting…), and prunes (delicious, why was I so afraid of them?)

Can’t wait to see what everyone else tries!

I definitely want to participate!

I actually tried a fresh apricot for the first time two days ago. I have always eaten apricots dried, never fresh, so I was really looking forward to eating a juicy one! While the fruit I purchased smelled great and looked absolutely divine, I was actually kind of disappointed when it came to the taste – I’m thinking that’s because it was picked un-ripe and shipped from California most likely. Hopefully when I move to San Diego in August I’ll have the chance to eat better specimen!

In addition to the fresh apricot, I recently tried wasabi peas… and this was NOT a disappointment. I am completely addicted! I actually went to the health food store and bought $8.00 worth out of the bulk bin and they are already gone!

I love your contests! Keep ‘em coming!

Acorn Squash
Beets
Refried Beans (!!) sans the lard, of course
Wheat Bran/Wheat Flakes
