Veggies

Are you tired of eating the same old frozen vegetables or is the only "vegetable" you've had lately a french fry? I encourage you to buy some fresh vegetables next time you go food shopping at Shaw's. Asparagus, broccoli rob, and string beans are great to buy fresh. To make the string beans you have to snap off the ends and then wash them. You can make them on the stove or in the microwave with spices and bread crumbs. Never heard of asparagus?! I used to hate them when I was a kid. My mom insisted I eat them and eventually I developed a liking for them.
Today, I eat most vegetables because my parents encouraged me to eat them at a young age and I developed a taste for them. You make asparagus in the microwave with water, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. Cook them for about 3 minutes. They're really good for you! In the food store, broccoli rob looks like lettuce. It's big and leafy, but it shrinks down when you cook it. It's cooked on the stove with garlic and olive oil. My favorite! A good dish to make is broccoli rob and sausage.
