Dear Body,

Can we please not develop some new and interesting health issues that require me to entirely relearn how to cook roughly every decade or so? That would rock. Kthanx. ~M

On the upside, at least my body seems to keep insisting that I need to eat healthier and healthier every time.

On the downside, my family food history is Irish, English, and Polish. All vegetables are to be boiled within an inch of their lives, then seasoned with a bit of butter, salt, and pepper. (Those that didn't come out of a can.) I have ZERO clue what else to do with them.

*sigh*

Anyone got good recipes for Things To Do With Vegetables? (Doesn't have to be vegetarian, meat is fine, I just need to cut back on the amount.)

The big thing? Steam them. Depending on the veggie, you can then maybe put a little lemon juice on them or something.

A quick trip through a sautee is also awesome, and you can do things like tossing in Italian dressing for flavor and stuff.

A bag of frozen veggies, a block of udon noodles, and some soy or teriyaki sauce is pretty good!

*contemplates the bag of soba noodles languishing in the cabinet*

Thanks!

No problem! I usually just toss the noodles and frozen veggies together in a pan with some sauce and call it a day. Wicked easy quick dinnery thing.
