Inspiration Friday ~ Eat Your Veggies!

Back at the fabulous Granville Market in Vancouver, the healthy foods were so beautiful one could almost bypass the sugar and fat loaded baked goodies.........almost but not quite!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With no means to cook up a truly gorgeous "vegetable plate" in a hotel room, I, your true vegetarian friend, had to be satisfied just to......................................................................................pause over the perfect peppers,

...........................not squeeze the squash,

..........................................long for the lettuce

.........................control myself from commandeering the corn,
..........................actually forego aspirations to snap the asparagus,

.................cry misery over lack of morels in my neck of the woods

.............................whine for white eggplants

............................but of course I could caress an apple, mango, pear,

.......................flip over the fine figs,

................................chuckle over cherries, beam over blueberries, and die for my favorites, the luscious raspberries.

Fresh veggies and fruits, such bounty from the earth. Thank you to all the farmers across America and Canada who toil so hard, 365 days a year, to supply us with such healthy, beautiful food.
So remember what Mother always told you ~ "eat your vegetables."
