“How to eat Fried Worms” (vegan-style)


Does anyone remember the book from elementary school: How to eat Fried Worms?

That’s what came to mind as I assembled today’s lunch. I started out with a monster salad (mixed greens, spinach, and lots of chard), with sesame-ginger dressing and crunchy almonds. So far so good. But then, when I cooked up some of my newest-favorite high-protein spaghetti, things got ugly.

Really ugly. Above, the spaghetti and salad, along with garlic-y zucchini, which I sautéed using this healthy method. Nothing wrong with how my lunch tasted!

Do you know how hard it is to make that pasta appear appetizing? Looks like a plate filled with earthworms!!

    Perhaps I’m weird, but I don’t think the noodles look all that bad 🙂 And thanks for the shout out! I would argue those aren’t exactly my best photos though 😉

      Haha well they’re better than any of mine! But I agree that some of your other photos are even more amazing… if that’s even possible…

    Ha! I was about to write “Milk Bones” before I even saw your confession. Great minds think a like:) I thought they would taste like Wheat Thins at the time…

    Milk Bone confidential: I liked the yellow ones.
    I ate worms, bugs, dirt, clay, usually on a bet, and sometimes just because i was curious. Sadly, to this day I don’t wash the beets or carrots I dig up from my garden – just eat ’em raw with the dirt still clinging….don’t judge me 🙂
