For over a year I've been living with a picky meat-eater who counts garlic and onions as major players in the vegetable category of his dietary catalog. He refuses vegetable-heavy dishes with the stubborn resove of a three-year-old and has a proven shocking ability to scrunch his mouth until it literaly disappears - a feat I formally thought anatomically impossible.
Matt's coming along, kind of, last night he ate about a twelth of a small roasted beet and said that it "wasn't horrible." But living with someone who was quite content before cohabitation to subsit on nothing but white rice and soy sauce can depress your vegetable ingestion prowess. And for this decade-plus-vegetarian, that is pretty depressing.
Did you know you are supposed to get AT LEAST five 1 cup servings of fruits and vegetables in a single day? I mean, I have made vegetables a central part of my life and even I struggle to work that volume into my daily diet. So, I am on a mission to greenify your plate (and mine) and promise to offer you recipes and tips for getting more vegetables (and fruits) into your tummy.
Sometimes I might use some scary words on this site - like "broccoli" or "beets" and sometimes I'll suggest you steam something when you know full well it would taste infinitely better smothered in cheese or served fried under chili. But, keep your mind opened - your colon, heart, and waistline'll thank you.
Let's cook!
