How to eat salad when you hate it

If you hate vegetables like I used to, check out something like this. Start with fewer veggies and gradually work your way up to more and more until you learn to love them. My wife did so many things to help me take it slow and now there are many vegetables I actually like. If I can do it after being raised on a coke and candy bar every day and meat if we were lucky, you can do it! I look forward to dinner with vegetables now.

Making taco salad bowls is so easy and easy to clean up too. Everyone has their own spin on the dish, but this one is going to be one of your favorites. You can spice it up more or lower it down to fit your tastes. I just know you gotta make it because you’re going to love it! And also, check out these Chicken burrito bowls.
