Being a subscriber of The World’s Healthiest Foods, I am sent a bunch of recipes, week in and week out. My desire is to get our family to love eat healthier foods. The fact remains that crappy foods taste good though.
But then again, there is also this thing about acquiring tastes. good friend that I had in college once told me that after a while of taking out meat out of his diet, he developed this aversion to it. Ideally, you and your better half is a team in pursuing this goal. Otherwise, it is going to be a struggle. My point being: If you are amongst who struggle, then it is best to introduce new dishes that are tastier than serving your family those notoriously known bland healthfoods.
I am looking into serving this recipe this coming week and enjoy the yummy side dish with all of the health benefits of phytonutrients from the veggies combined with the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from the nuts. It’s a great side dish to accompany fish and poultry entres.
