I do read your articles on different veggies and always enjoy the read, as you’ve done your research, the text is full of interesting facts, history, great humour and the articles are so well-written that they are a treat to read even if one is not a fan of veggies!

I didn’t grow up eating broccoli (sadly), as my parents weren’t fans, I guess. However, once I flew the nest, I discovered them and learned to love them without anyone coaxing me. I enjoy all veggies, but broccoli is one of my favourites.

Now that I have a family of my own, I passed on my love of fruits and veggies to my kids, and even to my hubby, who wasn’t really keen on veggies before.

We do eat junk food as well, but there are certain rules in the house… sure you can have a pizza, but you must eat a decent portion of steamed broccoli or green beans on a side! Mum’s rules – it’s either that or no pizza! 😉
