I know I have mentioned it on the blog before, but my body can’t deal with uncooked vegetables, sooo I eat them cooked!
I just decided that I am allergic to uncooked vegetables, yes I self-diagnose myself, I hear it’s quite common these days.
This Vegetable Biryani Recipe, is my favorite way to eat vegetables!

What is your favorite way to eat vegetables?
Last week before finals! Let’s do this!
I’m so excited for this recipe! My friend has made me biryani before, but it was chicken and I prefer veggies. I will have to try this.
I love veggies in salads (preferably ones from Sweetgreen), soups, and in stir fries. I actually just quite like them in general.
And yes, self diagnosis is all the rage these days. Sorry to hear about your raw veggie allergy :)
I <3 Sweetgreen! I consider being gassy and cramping to be an allergic reaction :)
Let me know how it turns out!!!
I just stumbled upon your blog and I really love it! I also have a hard time digesting uncooked vegetables. I can easily digest cooked ones, but raw veggies are hard on my system.
Hi Christine :) Thanks for stopping by! I only eat raw veggies once or twice a week and believe me I feel sooo much better :)
Good luck on the final stretch! :) Have you figured out post grad plans yet?
I am transferring to a community college to get degree #2. Wish me luck!
Awesome!! How long is the new degree expected to take? Hooray for decision making :)
Less than 2 years, since I have taken all the pre-requirements for a college degree!!!!
yums that looks so good! I love roasted veggies oh and grilled!
good luck on your finals love!
Grilled tofu would be amazing :)
