I do eat the fruits too, I guess I need to word these responses better. Personally I like veggies (some fruits bother my stomach melons especially and I love them). I have to cook the veggies for them not to bother my stomach. I've also learned that certain lettuces bother my stomach, spinach doesn't. Strange I know, and annoying I love all fruits and veggies. When I was heavily into lifting fruits were out because of the fructose, they can really get crazy with your diet. I just meant that the snacks I keep in the house (because kids need snacks) are fruits. My kids also like snacking on cereal. I was never a big crock pot person. I have one but don't use it a lot, I should though that recipe sound good like I said I love cooked veggies.
