I was raised as a picky eater.
I may have actually thought that the only 2 vegetables were green beans and corn :)
When we began serving in ministry,
I was convicted of this bad trait.
It showed ungratefulness and a discontented spirit.
It hindered and discouraged others from ministering to me.
In my search to simplify,
I recently enrolled in "emeals" for some new ideas, variety, and ease of menu planning.
They offer all kinds of plans - g-f, healthy, vegetarian ...
Last week,
one of the meal options was herbed butter beans.
I bought the butter beans and waited for the day to try them.
I was discouraged when I opened the bag to find a very close kin to lima beans.
I do not care for lima beans and I just knew that hubby would be less than enthusiastic.
To our surprise - the dish was DELICIOUS!
What a pleasant surprise to find something new to enjoy with our meals.
Perhaps you will like them too!
