Ok hi there! my name is Amy. I'm starting to poke my face in here and there on Mighty. I'm extremely motivated (finally) to get my picky self eating a few healthier options. I was raised to at least try one bite of everything. if I didn't like it, no harm no foul. I ate and liked it all. With the exception of pickled pigs feet ( yup! ate it and loved it! although I don't want to eat it now), we ate pretty normally for Americans. We ate most all veggies though and a side salad every meal. But lots of processed food too. My mom was a great "box" cook with several other dishes home cooked. But I was raised to try things. When things like couscous and quinoa started gaining a lot of attention, I developed what my dad called a food prejudice. He'd say, "how can you know if you like it if you don't try it?" Because it's healthy and looks funny and just no. 😂 But, I really do want a healthier and I think I'm ready to bite the bullet and try one or the other. Which one do you recommend?

Tried the sheet pan Hawaiian chicken today. The pineapple tasted too salty, I didn't add rice to complete meal. Next time, I'll try fresh pineapple.

Have to note because they were so good - had some leftover Easy Green Beans we made following the recipe on Mighty Health - great when made fresh & maybe even better as leftovers. Made these a bunch of times - always quick easy, simple ingredients & very good!

Today's lunch: the Healthy Heart Salmon Bowl from the Mighty Health recipe file/Recipes Redo lessons. I had never had an Asian rice bowl but I gave it a go. I subbed in sugar snap peas for noori noodles, and used Stevia and coconut aminos. This was SO much more delicious than I could have anticipate...
