I'm with you on that one- I eat meat, too, but I gotta have my veggies. Ever since I was a kid (the "weirdest kid in the world" according to Mom) I have loved broccoli especially much.

Sometimes I go on a "broccoli bender" and eat whole heads of it for dinner, just steamed a bit with butter and lemon. Yummmmmmm!!!

"no more than I could in good conscious eat in one sitting"

Conscious is pretty much the only way you can eat, surely?!

(You actually mean 'in good conscience')

I try to include some starch or maybe an egg, otherwise I'll be right back where I started in half an hour.

I've never been big on fruit, but lately I've been obsessing about it, and I think I may need to figure out how to make a meal out of cherries or peaches without too much cooking involved. Fresh salsa maybe?

I too am a veggie lover.......Love my brocolli steamed tender but not too cooked dressed with butter, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Cabbage, shredded cooked until soft but crisp in a little bacon drippings and onions with chopped bacon on top when served. I also love rutabaga, dont think im spelling this right, its like a turnip only orange, sweet and bitter. Lastly turnips sliced in rounds and cooked tender drains and add butter and lots of black pepper. Making myself hungry now....LOL ...got carried away~

Count me in too....I just got back from a pick-your-own farm and had to make myself NOT eat cukes and tomatoes for lunch (although they WERE a significant part).

I am exactly the same way! I have been known to eat directly out of a bag of prewashed lettuce and to carry boxes of cherry tomatoes in my purse. I also once cut an English cucumber right down the middle, sprinkled some salt on it, and ate both halves like giant foot-and-a-half long hot dogs for lunch.

I love Kale, it goes with everything!

Oh yes, me and my whole family (husband, three teenaged daughters). Especially when we eat asparagus or artichokes we don't usually have more than a token egg or bit of meat with it, and sometimes nothing at all, just the glorious vegetables. We're Orthodox and half the days of the year are meatless anyway-- makes one very resourceful!

Totally. Breakfast yesterday was leftover grilled veggies drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fleur de sel, pepper and goat cheese. When the vegetables were finished I combined what was left of the cheese, oil and vinegar and spread it on a half bagel.
I enjoy big salads with seeds, nuts and cheese and can happily eat one vegetable as a meal. It helps that I don't have a big appetite and I don't cook for anyone else- and eating this healthy allows me to eat more ice cream without a trace of remorse.

We have a garden and every summer my mom, sister and I fight over the tomatoes especially. My little sister almost got forked by my grandma when she came over and had to spread the tomatoes even more. We eat tons of other veggies, but tomatoes seem to cause the biggest excitement around my house.
