Like the lean protein, this habit shouldn't be too difficult, but requires some planning to make the magic happen. Luckily, I really enjoy vegetables and I'm looking forward to this habit. Turning into a rabbit sounds healthy, doesn't it?
(Here's a funny aside: a former boss of mine always refused to eat anything "green"... though he made an exception for key lime pie, of course. Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming.)
I already have 2-3 servings a day -- I cut up vegetables for my workday snacks -- so it's just a matter of getting some at dinnertime, or making some veggie-heavy egg-type breakfasts for myself. One thing I want to try is branching out a little bit. My veggies are pretty run-of-the-mill, and I want to spice things up a bit. Any suggestions?
One recipe that I haven't made in a long time that is definitely in my near future is Garlic Mashed Cauliflower -- I wasn't a believer until I tried it, but it's a damn good substitute for mashed potatoes! I know, I know, I can hear you whining about how nothing is like the real thing, and while I agree, this really is the next best thing. Trust me on this. Pair it with a nice steak and it's the best thing since sliced bread (see what I did there?).
