Answer 2

Try this veggie/pasta combo that is different and yummy. Cook up some bowtie pasta and blanch off some asparagus that has been cut bite size. When both are done toss together with some olive oil, chopped garlic and parm cheese. Finish it off with a squeeze of lemon. Test it out...sometimes I end up adding more lemon. Even some lemon zest would be nice here. Also a little salt and pepper if needed.

Unfortunately I am willie nillie with recipes...I have a tendency to make things with no real measurements. I do things to suit my taste. Within reason...and added common sense it always comes out fine!

Answer 4

I'm not sure what veggies you like.
We use the LeSeur brand of baby peas, add some French's Onion Rings and a tiny bit of butter. Simmer and serve.

OR
Use a can of sweet corn, add Mango salsa to it, warm and serve.

OR
Steam some broccoli with one clove of garlic and a dash of olive oil.
Strain and serve with butter or marg. Or, for health concerns, instead of butter, use lemon juice.

Hope these help?
Good Luck and Good Eating!

Answer 6

First get rid of the salt and buy Spike. It's a dried herb salt substitute that just tastes YUMMY!!!

Vary your veggies. Steam. Stirfry. Use Nutritional Yeast, which makes it taste cheesy without all the fat, calories and cholesterol.
