Veggie-Tales

I have been spending lots of time on vegetables lately. Not a lot of time worrying or preparing them, but lots of time making sure they are in the meal plan. It really has changed the way I am eating.

I am a steamed veggie freak. I love all veggies steamed. It is such a fast and simple prep method. The true flavor of the food is preserved in the steamer. If you don’t have a steamer, you gotta get one! Mine is a simple steamer that rests on top of a sauce pan (like a double boiler with holes). It is easier to manage than the folding sort that rests in the bottom of a pan.

I picked up a trick from the Food Network for veggies. Sprinkle a pinch of course sea salt on the dish right before it goes to the table. The sudden appearance of that chunk of salt is a shocking taste experience that is a new dimension to the meal.

It is getting to be veggie season too! That is exciting.
