I'm not a veggie person

cooked green beans (canned no less)

and a few others

I don't eat veggies...



I'm still trying...

kale mixed in a vanilla protein drink

with a cup of mixed berries

and some flax seed

it's a start...



Happy Birthday to Me

~a one day give away~

today only

comment on this post and include

your birth month

What am I giving away?

    Happy Birthday Kelley! I haven't tried Kale unless it is on a salad when I eat out. Who knows?

    I hope you have a glorious birthday. You deserve it!

    Fun giveaway!

    Happy Birthday Kelley,Febuary is a great month for a birthday lots of good chocolate, which sounds so much better than Kale. If you do eat the kale don't get it off of the salad bar...there it is used as decoration.
    I would love to be enterd in your birthday give away. My month is July.

    Happy Birthday Kelley! I am a veggie person but I've not tried kale yet. Maybe the smoothie is the way to go! My birthday month is January. Not so sure that I need to be counting birthdays anymore. Too many candles now. Have a great day!

    Happy Birthday to you! What kind of wool will it be? Some kale green wool? Some carrot orange wool? Or, some radish red wool.... mmmmm.... sounds like the perfect way to fit veggies into a creative diet! lol!

    Hoping you have the happiest of birthdays! My birth month is September so I've got a ways to go, but I don't mind because I don't count birthdays anymore ;o)

    I've never tried kale before which is odd because I do like veggies (except for nasty lima beans, mashed potatoes, etc.) Will have to give it a go one day.

    HAPPY B-DAY! I'm an Aries in March.

    I get the veggie thing, but I do like kale (cut out the tough spine)in an Italian sausage soup, with onions, diced tomatoes, and white beans. Have also substituted chopped frozen spinach in place of the kale - didn't really notice any difference.

    Have a happy --- jan

    Happy, Happy, Birthday dear Kelley!! I would sing - but trust me, you'd rather I not! Hmmmm....a kale protein drink....Think I'll pass. I'm not a big veggie person either, but I do love kale in my Zuppa Toscana (a wonderful Italian soup)....Yummmm....(Why is it that I came to your blog to visit today and ended up ravenous between the soup and the no bake cookies???) ;o) Hope your day is filled with those and doing what you love best. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (My birthday is in March...in fact, the first day of spring...why do you think I got that wonderful name?) ;o

    Hi Kelley! Happy birthday!

    I love most veggies. Hubby cooks some with bacon and that makes them even tastier (like uncooked spinach or brussel sprouts). I've been meaning to try "hiding" veggies in smoothies for the kids. The only veggie my son eats is carrots.

    My birthday is in March!

    Blessings,
    Jessica

    Kelley, Happy B. Day! I have the same problem with veggies, can only eat raw veggies unless it's corn, it's yellow, has something to do with colors. October is my month, have a great day.

    Happy Birthday Kelley! What a fun way to celebrate with a birthday give-away! I always think of kale as a decorative thing on a relish tray! I do like veggies and my dogs love lettuce and carrots! They come running when I'm washing the lettuce for a salad.

    Happy Birthday Kelley! I saw it was your birthday on our yahoo group so thought I would slip over here to see what you are up to, and wouldn't you know, I see the name of a friend I taught to quilt that moved across the country years ago! Small world, but us prim lovers/quilters are a cozy bunch!

    Happy Birthday, and eat your veggies!!!
