Has there been 1 or 2 changes to your diet over the years that you believe have been positive and healthful?
For me, #1 has to be the stir-fry. I remember my grandmother serving "wilted lettuce" and I thought - wow! This vegetable is great! Years later, my 1st wife's grandmother served the same ~ essentially a stir-fried leaf lettuce ~ and, that was my reaction again!
The Chinese restaurant was the place for us to "go out to eat" when I was a kid. Still, I couldn't quite put all this together to begin my "career as a stir-fry guy" until I had a large garden and was trying to find uses for what I could grow.
A 2nd change that I made just a few years ago was to have 3 servings of fruit every morning with breakfast. I mean, "a serving" isn't all that much food but if you eat 3 of them . . . there isn't much room for the breakfast cereal! Not that breakfast cereal needs to be something unhealthful but - you know what I mean . Just a large orange and large banana will "do it" but I am also someone who enjoys dried fruit. (Recently discovered these new raisin combo's, for example .) I haven't quite gotten into my summer fruit mode but just bought my 1st melon of the year! Anyway, Fruit Loops are OUT and I feel better about my diet!
