No More Peas Please!

Well this week we fed Hannah peas for the first time. She hated them with a passion. Unfortunately I was not there to witness her hatred of peas but Scott told me that every time he would give her a bite of peas she would gag, which finally caused her to throw up all the food she had in her little belly. I can't say I blame her though. I think peas are definitely one of my least favorite vegetables. They are disgusting. Sometimes I can eat them if they are stuffed in casseroles or mixed with spaghetti, but plain, they make me want to barf as well. Why are some vegetables so gross plain? I wish that pizza, pasta, hamburgers, etc. were good for you. I always feel bad when I don't have some sort of vegetable with my dinner but I usually have to choke them down when I do. Well, that's not true if they are seasoned or dipped in ranch, cheese, have little marsh mellows on top, etc, etc. The only ones I can eat plain are asparagus, french style green beans, corn and occasionally broccoli and even then it's still hard for me. Scott and I have recently been talking about almost becoming vegetarians (by "almost" I mean we would eat meat maybe just once or twice a week). We pretty much eat meat with every meal now. I know I could not go too long without a nice juicy hamburger or steak so we could not become complete vegetarians. However, if we did try this out, that would mean I would have to eat more vegetables. I sound like a little child saying that I hate vegetables plain but I really think almost everyone does; they just don't say it (you can tell by the way we are constantly adding fat to them to make them taste better). I only hope someday I will learn to love this food that can save my life.
