Or trapezoidal.

It’s ok, I did really well yesterday, and then I found a can of frosting in the fridge. I may or may not have had a spoonful.

Thanks for the suggestions, Maggie! I eat a lot of spinach already, so I’ll definitely be trying this :)

It tricks me into finding them exciting to eat.
The easiest thing to make is baby carrots and spinach. I grab a bag of each at the store, and usually get about 4-5 meals worth. Just plop the carrots in a pan with a bit of water, cover, simmer, then add the spinach, remove from heat with the cover on, and let it sit a minute. Drain. Add lemon pepper. See? Suddenly exciting!! :)
