A date with a dip!
No, I’m not talking about the kind of “dip” you may have dated in High School! Pairing dips with veggies is a match made in heaven. Bring out raw veggies with a bowl of dip or favorite salad dressing as a snack next time your family is in front of the T.V. Sometimes, taking veggies away from the dinner table "ups" their appeal. I have done this with my daughter for quite a while & it’s still a treat to sit in front of the T.V. with some peppers & carrots sticking out of her favorite Ranch in a fancy glass!
Say Cheese Please!
I have found that a little cheese can work flavor miracles! I mix a couple American cheese slices with some skim milk and melt it in the microwave then drizzle over broccoli, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. You could also toss bits of your favorite cheese (feta, parmesan, cream cheese etc.) over steamed green beans, spinach or kale.
Hold out for the best!
The best secret for enjoying produce is buying them in season. The earlier they are picked (before they’re ripe) the more bitter they can taste. By the time they reach the store many times they are mushy or they never ripen properly. Vine ripened produce eliminates almost all the bitter flavors. However, this means you will not be able to get locally grown asparagus in April or mangos in March.
next time...Take a chill pill!
