Miracles do happen.........learning to love veggies!!!

I've never been known as a heathly eater..........loud, yes.....gullible, yes....healthy eater...no. I love to eat breads, sugars, carbs, almost anything but vegetables. My favorite veggie has always been the waffle fries at Chic-fil-a. So when I found myself snaking on broccoli and asparagus this week, I knew a miracle had taken place!! One of the perks of going to a church with lots and lots of amazing women who love to cook is that I have added a few fabulous recipes to my cookbooks. Here are a few that have proved to be life changing......
