Eat Your Veggies

Go ahead and say it! It’s OK to complain a little among friends. At first, saying “no” pasta, rice, and potatoes – to replace them with vegetables! – is no fun. I understand. We all go through it. But here’s the thing: We have choices. Tasty choices. There’s no reason to give up the fun of twirling long, strands of yumminess on a fork, or to abandon the idea of a bed of “rice” under a spicy curry. With a little patience, some ingenuity, and the loving support of vegetables, you can have all the joy of noodles, rice, and mashed comfort without the troublesome anti-nutrients of grains and white potatoes.
