Even the kids like it that way. I swear, you could do just broccoli and carrots and be good. They're so good for you. I don't know what the nutritional benefits of purple cabbage are, but it's pretty yummy stir-fried with a little curry, especially so with potatos, although those aren't so good on the glycemic index. One of my favorite ways to eat fresh tomatoes and avocados is to toast bread, spread with mayo, and slice the tomato or avocado over that with a slice of cheese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-59628739144121180402007-01-26T21:07:00.000-06:002007-01-26T21:07:00.000-06:00My trick is to drink a "green smoothie" a day, and...My trick is to drink a "green smoothie" a day, and I LOVE them!<br /><br />You take bunch of spinach, and blend it with any kind of fruit you like and any kind of juice you like. My favourite right now is Pineapple juice blended with an apple, pear, banana and of course the spinach. It might sound crazy, but it's delicious and you can't even taste the spinach. AND, it's 100% good for you!<br /><br />Good luck!Reeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133529766424844875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-89038405863647533682007-01-26T09:02:00.000-06:002007-01-26T09:02:00.000-06:00Oh WOW!

I did take Millie's advice right away and ordered an organic fruits and veggies sampler from California due to my door tomorrow. I can't WAIT! I have been spending easily $95 a week on fruits and veggies here in Illinois, and these are just regular supermarket stock. <br /><br />I will have to get online and search for ways to prepare all the veggies I receive. The sampler looks to be cheaper than what I pay in the store, plus it's organic, plus it's got free overnight delivery to my door. This isn't a bad deal! We will see how much comes in the sampler!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096318864189341010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-82889649288450225602007-01-25T10:56:00.000-06:002007-01-25T10:56:00.000-06:00Sorry ..

Not sure if these are what you're going for but a couple of my favorites:<br />Baked/nuked sweet potato with Splenda or that Low Cal spray butter (MMMM!)<br /><br />Dice up fresh tomoatoes, add a small container of crumbled feta cheese (Walmart has "seasoned" types), a small can of sliced or diced black olives (optional) and fresh diced red onions (optional); drizzle with olive oil and toss.<br /><br />"Summer Tomato Sandwiches": Whole wheat bread (Walmart's bakery 9 grain Italian is heavenly), sliced tomatoes, basil pesto (in a jar in the spaghetti sauce section) and swiss or provolone cheese.Ms.DaFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495052362368923383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-10195865247424495972007-01-24T17:10:00.000-06:002007-01-24T17:10:00.000-06:00That comment above was me as I hit enter too soon!...That comment above was me as I hit enter too soon! Anyway use the large micro cooker from PC for steaming all sorts of veggies. Also in the It's Good For You Cookbook, there is a vegetable sandwich on foccacia (the actual name escapes me right now) but you "roast" the veggies on the bar pan after they have been tossed with the PC Basil Blend Canola Oil. They are yummy, especially when served with a grilled chicken breast. <br /><br />And yes, when the 1st trimester is over, you will have good energy. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607515533107223120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-75100525625903600872007-01-24T17:08:00.000-06:002007-01-24T17:08:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11607515533107223120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16661932.post-15442529888183782502007-01-24T15:24:00.000-06:002007-01-24T15:24:00.000-06:00Well I know you know this, but you can search Pamp...Well I know you know this, but you can search Pampered Chef recipes at http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/recipesearch/search.jsp or check out http://www.joycesfinecooking.com/pamperedchefs.htmKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719701130452274065noreply@blogger.com
