    The green giant or birdseye stuff in the frozen section is good. My favorite is the green giant broccoli and carrots in a garlic and herb sauce. 75 Cals for the whole thing.

    I saute Kale and baby Spinach with some mushrooms in a little Olive Oil and Sesame Oil. Chop some garlic cloves into the pan while the oil is heating and some pepper while it's cooking... Really Great!

    I pretty much mix veggies into everything. Ground beef? Add some finely minced sauteed cabbage. Chicken breast? Cube it up and cook with broccoli and top with some cheddar cheese. Eggs? Add sauteed spinach and zucchini to your scrambles/omelets. Eggplant is an awesome veggie that goes with just about any kind of protein. Sliced steak with eggs and grilled asparagus is amazingly delicious. Avocados are amazing with pretty much everything.

    Just start adding veggies to stuff you cook and find combos that work for you.

    Thanks... you just got me hungry! LOL Great suggestions!

    Steamed broccoli, carrots, and kale.

    Sauteed kale in a little bit of olive oil and garlic, finish with fresh lemon juice.

    ETA: I've been making "salad in a jar" consistently for a few weeks now for lunch. I love it. Also got a BIG thumbs up from the nutritionist at my doc's office.

    I make them on Sunday, and have 5 "grab and go" lunches.

    THANK YOU so much for bringing these to my attention (the salad in a jar). The photos on the website make them look so healthy and delicious and interesting visually! I am totally going to try this now!

    Made a turkey vegetable soup, that turned out killer.

    Took some dark meat on the bone, 1 gallon water,
    carrots ends, celery tips, bok choy, leeks, onions,
    and bay leaf. (that's just the stock) Threw it in the
    pressure cooker for an hour at 15 psi.

    Then strained the stock, and added it to the big pot.
    I used carrots, celery, bok choy, leeks, peas, baby corn,
    mushrooms, broccoli, and No Yolk egg noodles, and
    white turkey breast meat I had already cut up in to chunks.

    I also used two boxes of Swanson chicken broth, and
    a few splashes of low sodium soy sauce here and there.
    I made almost 3 gallons. Not real high in sodium, and
    it had a ton of veggies.

    Kind of has an oriental tatse like a wonton soup!


    The stock!

    Love it grilled! Marinate for a 1/2 - 1 hour in some
    balsamic vinaigrette made with olive oil.

    I keep a few tupperware containers of chopped onions, peppers or mushrooms in the fridge. For breakfast I do a quarter cup of pepper, a quarter cup of onions and 2 ounces of diced ham...sautee in frying pan then add an egg and 2 egg whites. I use at least 2 veggies each time.

    Adding a cup of vegetable soup to your lunch is another way to increase your veggies.
