I don't really eat meals that often, but I eat snacks almost constantly throughout the day. Anyways, one of my favorites is broccoli with cheese. I usually use sharp cheddar cheese, but I'm getting a little tired of this. Any other suggestions? Also different seasonings to try would be good too. I don't do a lot of cooking, so any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! I'm pescetarian though, so no meat :wink: Thanks!

    Butter buds and broccoli <3 Heck, even real butter is worth it sometimes. I also love garlic salt on my broccoli, maybe that with the fresh parmesan would work :)
    With my broccoli and cauliflower mix I love balsamic vinegar for some reason.

    I can't remember what they are called but in the grocery store where they have gravy packets they have season packets for vegetables (McCormick i believe) the packets have a baggy and you put your veggies in it with a tablespoon of water then cook them in the microwave...they are really good...sorry i don't have anymore information on what they are called...hope this helps!

    I like doing cottage cheese with a spice in it, basil is a fav, garlic, rosemary--love it all, and then some kind of low cal multi-grain cracker. I also do string cheese a lot as a snack, or the "no sugar added" little applesauce packs.

    I know you said you don't do cooking, but if you ever feel inclined, I'd look into different kinds of rice dishes. I rarely eat meat (I like it, it just doesn't like me, lol) so I use rice to help for meals to fill me up. Feel free to message me if you're interested in a couple recipes, I think I have some simple ones.

    Otherwise, I'd also suggest napa cabbage salad with either a balsamic vinaigrette or just lemon or lime juice as the salad dressing. You can do it up how you like, but I typically like to chop up the napa cabbage and add chopped cilantro, red pepper, green onion and grated carrot (the real ones, not babies). It's so delicious I feel like I'm addicted. I kinda want some now...

    I tried that today...had the mozzarella, tomato, and basil one and it was actually pretty good.
