My knowledge and exposure to vegetables were very limited when I was growing up too, partially because there were so many that my mom didn't like. It wasn't until I was married and out on my own that I tried peppers and zucchini and fresh greens beans and winter squashes and SO much more. We had a lot of the same...frozen veggies (peas, cauliflower, and broccoli) and potatoes. Now, I can't wait for summer every year in anticipation of the fresh veggies from our garden and to go meandering through the farmer's markets on a weekly basis. By the way, I love the way your mom skinned the middle of the potato!

Vegetable medley! A definite staple in my childhood, too. We had a vegetable garden so a lot of our produce came from there, but I also remember having canned vegetables here and there.

I also love finding new vegetables; David always teases me because I’m like, hmm maybe we can try yuca? How about Japanese eggplant? What new-to-me produce can I find today to experiment with? 😂
