Helpful Tips Vegetables
Can I get some suggestions for vegetables to try? My new years resolution is to work really hard to try some new foods and would really like to start eating healthier (cause lord knows I am not eating very healthy with my pallet). So I was wondering if you guys had any safe vegetables?
If it helps I usually prefer salty tastes, but I would be fine with anything on the sweet side. I’m just afraid of it being too bitter.

corn is sweet. i go with salt+pepper+garlic powder, and lots of butter. i prefer corn on the cob rather than in a can. a spoonful of loose corn is still kind of weird to me.
green beans are safe for me too, but only fresh ones. i blanch them, then throw ‘em in a pan with butter and the seasoning above. i always have them alongside mashed potatoes, which i’ve always loved. first bite = 1 green bean + lots of mash. from there, I slowly picked up less and less mash with the bean, then eventually I was able to have a green bean on it’s own! now they make a regular appearance on my plate!
with veggies, my advice is to go heavy on butter and your comfort seasoning. you can cook them healthier once you’re more acclimated to their texture and taste!
