laughing at myself...such a dork!

So in my enthusiasm to buy all these great healthy foods, I have been buying lots of yummy organic produce. So impulsively I bought some fresh fennel. (I am pretty sure recently I read somewhere that it was good for me in someway, lol) It's been in my fridge for 5 days and I am looking for a recipe to use it. (I am clueless) I haven't found anything that doesn't include fattening ingredients. So I have been standing there looking at it thinking.... what was I thinking???

Atleast this is a healtheir impulse then the Buy 1 Get 1 Oreos or gallons of Ice cream I used to fall victim to.....

Fennel kinda smells like licorice. Slice it extremely thin and mix it in with something. I wasn't a fan.

the italian side of my family snacks on fennel raw. they say its refreshing, but if you dont like anise or licorice- skip it.

Thanks for the info. I just sliced it and took a nibble, might just add it to a salad and see how that goes...

I'm not a fan of fennel either. It has a strong flavor. I recently tried turnips and love them. I think they kind of taste like cabbage which I also love.

I am in the minority here, but I really like fennel. I put it in salads or I roast it with onions. Here is one recipe I like a lot: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/cod-in-a-sack-with-fennel-and-onion-recipe/index.html

But maybe it just isn't for you.

I was just sure what to do with it, I am gonna try the cod recipe, but I have halibut.

Thanks ladies, I feel less dorklike... buying something I don't know what to do with.
