Since launching GreenLiteBites over a year ago (YIKES!) I moved my produce picks over there as it IS my food blog. But I can’t help to think they still belong over here. A huge part of my weight loss was and is trying new things and I really want to inspire you to do the [...]

Return of the Produce Picks: Star Fruit (Carambola)

Spaghetti Squash
October 13, 2007
Here’s a produce pick I’ve been using for a about a year now but it warrants its own post.
I was VERY hesitant to try the spaghetti squash at first. Probably because I didn’t see a need for it, I mean just eat spaghetti, right? But once I took [...]
Pumpkin!
October 10, 2007
This produce pick isn’t some exotic find I’ve never tried before. It’s about our good old friend, the pumpkin. If you are anything like me, you’ve been using pumpkin for sometime, in pies, breads, maybe even chili. I have been trying to use it more since reading SuperFoods [...]
Delicata Squash
October 2, 2007

After a bit of research I discovered they are originally from South America but are now [...]
Patty Pans
August 19, 2007
You may have seen these little gems in your grocery store or farm stands. For years I just passed them up not know how to use them or even what they were. Then last year I finally got up enough nerve (why this was hard I’ll never know) to ask [...]
Mango Madness
August 14, 2007
In honor of my new Produce Picks section, I give you the Mango. I know, I know, not the find of the century but I never bought and ate a raw mango before. I’ve had them dried and in canned tropical mixes. I just never knew how to cut or eat [...]
Jicama
August 12, 2007
Normally food finds are products I stumble upon not produce but today I came across a jicama. A few people have mentioned them to me before but I never saw them in the stores until today! I didn’t even know they existed until about a month ago.
