Thread Name: BS: Eat your vegetables -- deliciously!
Subject: RE: BS: Eat your vegetables -- deliciously!
I have always eaten my vegetables. I love 'em. Very excited that the weather is turning nicer and now the produce at the grocery will be nicer too. Mixed green salads, here I come! (I used to grow produce when I had time.) I like a nice plate of mixed greens with some cherry tomatoes, green onions, sunflower seeds, maybe a little white tuna or grilled chicken, and Kraft Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. (not the Lite version, sorry)

I buy those huge bags of frozen broccoli and steam it, with a little butter. Sometimes we have fresh asparagus out back and let me tell you, there is nothing like fresh asparagus steamed with some butter and lemon juice.

Here's one thing I have never understood about some vegetables, though, and that is... they don't digest. How are they nutritionally beneficial if they don't digest? Bonnie, maybe you can enlighten us on this one?
