lwaller Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I am wondering if I can use the steamable bags of veggies when cooking? The ones you pop in the microwave for 5 minutes? Plain of course - no sauce? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 As long as the veggies themselves are compliant, yep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Don't be afraid to top them with a compliant fat after cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwaller Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 They would be compliant if they are just plain (like just a bag of frozen veggies - no added sauces) right? Also - suggestion for your favorite veggie topper? Is there a recommendation for how many cups of veggies/day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted April 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yes, if it is just veggies, they are fine. A drizzle of olive oil or sesame oil or some homemade mayo would be lovely! Veggie recommendations are a minimum of 1-3 cups per meal and we recommend starting with at least one fist sized serving of starchy veggie per day as well and see how you do.

Watch for the mixed veggies though -- you can't have corn (or those little baby corn in some stir fry mixes) or peas or beans, so obviously any mix that contained those would be out. But just straight up frozen broccoli or cauliflower or green beans or whatever individual vegetable you like or mixes that only contain compliant vegetables would be fine. I like a few chopped, toasted almonds and some olive or sesame oil on veggies if I'm wanting a bit of crunch. Something like a chimichurri sauce can be nice too.

Andor Zensko Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I like to experiment with the spices I have in my cupboard (I have tons of them, they help to change food on a daily basis) or a great go to is Mrs Dash, there are some great flavors in that line, they are quick and easy and when I am to tired to think outside of my box I know that it is still going to taste good.

edgymama Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just discovered my favorite veggie (and maybe everything!) topper last night.....in a sauce pan melt together 1/2 cup franks red hot with 1/4 cup of ghee. OMG you will want to lick the pot or bowl (if you make that in micro too) clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
