The Ocean and Jicama

I have two new obsessions, the ocean and an unusual vegetable, jicama. Weird combination you say? Not as weird as a Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. I have a weird obsession with combo fast food places, I think it is so weird. There is cross contamination, it just isn't right. It's not natural!

Well, if you don't live near an ocean, (you should!) then you can try a tasty jicama. Jicama is a root vegetable that looks like a turnip, the texture of a less juicy (didn't want to say dry) apple with a semi sweet flavor. You can enjoy this treat plain or you can add some slices of avocado, lime juice and salsa to taste. I also like that this vegetable is also known as a "Yam bean", what a silly name. The Yam Bean/?Jicama only has about 50 calories for a cup and 6 grams of fiber! I am pretty much telling you about one of the healthiest things you can snack on. If the Jicama doesn't tickle your fancy, maybe the pictures of the ocean will. Oh yes, that is a little dolphin friend jumping up to say hello.
