I have especially noticed this while traveling. It seems like whenever we go out of town I don't eat enough fruits and vegetables and after a few days I need them. This usually means that, if we're driving, I make Jeremy find a Panera or McAllister's on the way home so I can eat a salad. On occasion, Jeremy has even said he wants some vegetables. That's when I know it's really bad.
The past few weeks, mostly around Christmas, I have not been feeling great and I know it's related to my diet, which had consisted of way too much sugar. This week I finally decided to do something about it and bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables while grocery shopping, including a bag of kale. I've mainly been eating it in the morning with eggs and toast, but have also made a quesadilla with it.
I also made lentil sprouts this week, in an effort to eat better. I've been eating them with hummus on bread. And because I have no other hobbies, here are some pictures of my sprouts sprouting:
I'm always so amazed when they get their first little sprout buds.

I get the same way, only wanting to eat something fresh when I haven't had enough of it lately. This is my favorite kale recipe right now...so yummy.

That looks really good. I'm going to have to try that with my next bag of kale!
Go you! My mom sprouted things quite often and had a little layered tray for it. I personally don't care for the flavor or texture, but occasionally I'll put them on my salad and suffer through it.
