Good job, Emma!

I'm trying cauliflower tonight--always thought it was icky, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.

I'm like you, Betsy, I tried the spaghetti squash and really didn't like the texture. I'm going to cook it differently and try it once more before I give up, though. Not sure I cooked it quite well enough in the microwave, may try it in the oven next time.

Had stir-fried okra with parmesan cheese "breading" for lunch--yummy!

Aw, give Green Beans another try, you're a big girl now! Would you cook fresh, or use canned?

I'm impressed with your ability to keep your veg carbs up in the middle of all the busy stuff life's thrown ya!

thanks!!

i used to HATE cauliflower, i guess it was all the low fat diets i ever did and had to have it boiled, which i still cant stand!! but its fantastic as mash with baconbits and cream and cheese and its great as the macafoni on lindas site, thats one of my fave recipes!

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

Here's a veggie soup I made for lunches this week. I even bought more okra to put in it. I tried okra last week, not so fond of it, but jimmie told me to try it in a soup or stew!

It's got all fresh:
cabbage
onion
diced tomatoes
green beans
okra
celery
Fresh herbs from my yard and spices

Silly,
This soup looks ABFAB!!!! Can you give us the recipe? Did you use vegetable broth or chicken broth? Wow this looks GREAT!

Emma - I absolutely hate canned green beans... they make me gag. I finally tried fresh green beans not long ago, and I love them. I got this recipe from Linda's website, and there several others there, too. I use mushrooms sometimes, instead of onions, and sometimes both. I also cook the beans until they are really brown... they taste better to me that way. Very, very good... By the way - she says in the recipe that frozen green beans can be used, but I don't think that I would like frozen ones.




TODD'S GREEN BEANS
1 pound fresh green beans *
6 ounces onion, sliced thick *
1 tablespoon oil
1-2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

In a large skillet or wok, sauté the green beans in oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat about 4-5 minutes or until they start to brown. Add another tablespoon of butter, if needed, and add the onions. Sauté until the onions are nice and brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes 4-6 servings

* You can also use a 16-ounce bag of frozen thin green beans that have been thawed completely and patted dry. I used frozen beans. I used a medium onion plus one small onion to get 6 ounces. Per 1/4 Recipe: 126 Calories; 9g Fat; 2g Protein; 10g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 6g Net Carbs
Per 1/6 Recipe: 84 Calories; 6g Fat; 1g Protein; 7g Carbohydrate; 3g Dietary Fiber; 4g Net Carbs

Re: Are You Eating Your Veggies? Challenge #2

Alright my Net carbs today were 23.4g net carbs. Two cups of iceberg lettuce, 2 mushrooms diced, 1 tbs onions chopped, 2 tbs black olives, 1/4 cup cheese, 2-2.5 cups green beans. Thats a rough estimate but I was around 23.4 g. It was kinda hard to push more veggies but I did it! hehe
