Want to have a little bit of fun today here on the blog? We'd love to hear your list of favorite foods for each color of the rainbow! I wonder how many of us will have similar fruits and vegetables on our lists, and how many of us will come up with vegetables and fruits that others have overlooked?
Here are our lists!
Jim likes the following fruits/vegetables the best:
Red: ?WatermelonOrange: ?Oranges
Yellow: Bananas
Green: ?Kale
Blue: ?Blueberries
Violet: Kale
And here's Wendi's list of favorite veggies/fruits:
Red: ?Cayenne PeppersOrange: ?Oranges
Yellow: ?Lemons
Green: ?Kale
Blue: ?Blueberries
Violet: ?Purple Kale
Jim and I had some similar favorites. For me, when I wrote "lemons" on my list, I realized yet again how much I adore that fruit! It makes me happy and it feels good when I eat lemons.
Please share your list in the comments! It will be fun reading what your rainbow assortment of favorite vegetables and fruits includes!
