The answer to that question is yes. I had my doubts, but after meeting with my nutritionist and discussing how I still struggle to get all my servings of vegetables in every day she changed my mind about vegetables. She agreed that if you eat the same steamed vegetables every day that you would get burnt out. However, if you make them in an interesting way they can be fun and exciting. I still wasn't completely convinced, but I thought I would give it a try. She recommended a few options. The first was roasting vegetables. I had done this with asparagus and Brussels sprouts and I agreed that they were delicious this way with a little olive oil and garlic salt. She said to try it with other vegetables as well. She recommended carrots, green beans, and zucchini. I tried the green beans and it definitely put new life into the boring old green beans! I still need to try it with the carrots and zucchini.
Her second suggestion was to find interesting recipes to liven up the veges. She recommended Kraft. I took her advice and have tried two vegetable recipes. I wanted to share one of those with you today that was absolutely fantastic!
After you give it a try, let me know what you think! If you have any interesting vegetable recipes that you like, please share! I'm always trying to find a way to get all my servings in each day!
