We may not all be a fan of vegetables but everyone usually likes some type of vegetable. I happen to love vegetables---not all, but most. I've chosen salad as a meal to eat that can include any type of vegetable you like. Nowadays you can purchase fresh bagged salads, but they can be costly. They are mostly bags of various types of lettuce. Use them if you have no time to prepare your own or if a kitchen is not available. Consider buying your own lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. You will soon discover that it cost less, and you get more salads made. You also will enjoy inventing your own salad combinations when you prepare them yourself. A salad can be quite filling but remember NOT to overload with the toppings such as croutons, crispy noodles, bacon bits or shredded cheese. Do use them to add flavor, Grilled chicken, turkey or pork can be added as well as shrimp or fish.
Next of course are the salad dressings. Don't overload on them. Blue cheese is my favorite but it's the most fattening. Try seasoning your salad with sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Use a little olive oil and vinegar. I have to watch my blood pressure so I use lemon pepper in place of salt. Lemon juice is also good on vegetables.
When
you are hungry for a snack, fill a bowl with some baby carrots. They
are great way to cure your sweet tooth and a great source of vitamin A.
It's cold outside and what better meal to eat than homemade vegetable
soup or stew. this is an excellent way to use any old vegetables. Just
remember that vegetables lose most of their vitamins when they are
cooked.
Vegetables help to regulate your digestive system. When your body releases waste it is slowing getting rid of the pounds hence the more you 'go', the more you lose.
If you have any comments, suggestions or recipes for a healthy and delicious meal, I would love for you to share them.
