Crudite Ideas for Lunches

I have a hard time with baby carrorts- mostly because I tend to eat them alone- and I am sensitive to the Vit K- so I get nauseated when I consume them alone. I have to eat it with some sort of fat's. Full size carrots seem to give me less grief (WTF??) but it is what it is.

My other suggestion would be zucchini- I eat it raw and cooked.

I'll eat broccoli and cauliflower uncooked as well- but I prefer them cooked.- just a matter of how lazy or not I am.
Have you tried bok choy? it's a cabboge but it's a nice addition to the mix.

Thanks Jo! Am making a list for the supermarket as we speak.. When you cook these how long do you keep them in the fridge before you NEED to eat them. I'm wondering if i can be lazy and cook a batch every few days.. I would love a bowl of veg for lunch every day!

depends on how ripe it was when you purchased it- an how you are storing it. I tend to buy produce once a week- a few things make it a little longer- corn last longer- but it's not something I eat a lot of so I don't pay attention.

If you store it properly usually you can get 7-10 days- most of my veggies/fruit doesn't make it past that. I usually batch cook on Sundays and pre-weigh out my meat/veggies into tupperwears so there is minimal prep work to do on the day I eat said items.
If you pre-chop veggies it makes it much faster as well.

Fab idea! Might start doing a Sunday cook and store them in airtight containers ready for the rest of the week for lunches!

That's what I do.

I work 8-5 and then I have dance class and working out and things- so Monday and Tuesday I leave before 8 AM and often do not get home till 10 or 11- so little time for cooking. It's just much easier to cook/prep on Sunday.

Sometimes I cook two meals- one stove top- on ein the oven- or one in the crock pot- so I can rotate my food. Usually one meal on Sunday gets me through till wednesday- BF is here- and we cook or go out- then I gotta figure out something for Friday- when we weren't doing a ridiculous schedule with him visiting mid week- I cooked Sunday and Wednesday for lunches and dinners.

<<<<<<< lazy- lol I cook a lot so I only have too cook 2x a week.
