I’ve had a bit of salad overload lately, thus my poor showing in lettuce consumption this week. Yes it’s true, even dietitians can get tired of salad! It’s a good thing I will have some visitors this weekend…there will definitely be salad on the menu when Bobbie and Charlie come to visit. I’m also planning to make eggplant parmigiana while they are here. The eggplant slices are baking as I write this and I’ll post the recipe soon.
Here’s how I did this week:
- Lettuce times two: 25%
- Collards aka Tuscan kale: 100%
- Eggplant: 100%
- Tomato: 100%
- Apples: 80%
- Bell peppers: 75%
- Leek: 75%
- Carrots: 50%
- Hot peppers: 0%
- Okra: 0%
- Cilantro: 0%
Because I’m such a good friend, I offered to take all of the edamame this week. I said this before I realized we were getting two bunches of the stuff (what looked like a small tree). I kept my word though…

The edamame deserve their own photos…pre- and post-debranching. For context, that is a gallon size ziploc bag in the second photo. This is definitely the most edamame we’ve ever gotten in a season.

Other than that, pretty much the yuge stuff for this time of year. Hopefully I will get over my anti-salad phase soon!
