Are you looking to add in a new veggie?  Most of us are creatures of habit when it comes to produce shopping.  Carrots, cucumbers, broccoli, zucchini are all familiar safe options.   For some just eating veggies is a struggle so why add in a new one.  A little change is good.  It helps to avoid food burn out from eating the same foods over and over. Also adding in variety will ramp up the nutrition of your diet.

I have a great one for you to try, jicama.  It’s pronounced HICK-ama.  Jicama is an odd globe-shaped tuber that has a bark-like skin.  It’s a little intimidating but worth giving it a try.

Spaghetti squash is a wonderful winter veggie that has a neutral flavor and will soak up any sauce or seasoning you serve it with, so it works well in many recipes.  It’s a tasty and healthy substitution for regular pasta.  Can be paired with Italian meat sauce, meatballs, garlic or Parmesan.  You can also use it in casseroles or a substitute for hash browns.
