Healthy veggie recipes?

Posted by admin

I’m in love with vegetables, and trying to include a lot of them in a nice diet.. I was wondering if anyone could provide a website, or a few good recipes using vegetable and various sauces! And another quick question, since I’m trying to loose weight which is ‘better’ to drink, ice tea with sugar, or diet pops like Dr.Pepper?

    To lose weight, diet pop
    recipes:

    This vegetable casserole is perfect for a family dinner or holiday meal, or take it along to a potluck meal.
    INGREDIENTS:
    4 cups broccoli flowerets
    4 cups cauliflower flowerets
    1 large red bell pepper, chopped
    1 large onion, chopped
    2 teaspoons salt
    .
    Sauce:
    3 tablespoons butter
    3 tablespoons flour
    1 1/2 cups milk
    1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
    1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, plus more for topping, if desired
    French fried onion crumbs for topping
    PREPARATION:
    Heat oven to 350°. Lightly butter a 7-x11-inch baking dish.
    In a large saucepan combine the broccoli and cauliflower with peppers and onion; cover with water and add the 2 teaspoons of salt.
    Bring to a boil; cover and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.
    Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until thickened. Stir in the pepper and 1 cup cheese. Arrange the broccoli and cauliflower mixture in the prepared baking dish. Pour sauce evenly over the vegetables. Top with French fried onions. Bake for about 30 minutes, until browned and bubbly. Sprinkle with more cheese, if desired, and cook for 5 minutes longer.
    Serves 4 to 6.

    Here is a recipe I likt to make. To make this lover cal, you can miss off the frying pasts and the cheese parts.

    Aubergine (Egg Plant)
    Two Courgettes (Zucchini)
    Mushrooms
    Onion
    Tin chopped tomatoes

    Spaghetti or pasta
    Butter
    Chopped garlic or garlic puree

    Cheese to sprinkle.

    Pan fry the onions, followed by the aubergine, courgette, then mushroom. Once the veg are starting to brown, add the tomotoes and cook until all is tender.

    Cook the pasta and then drain.

    Fry the pasta lightly in a little butter mixed in with the garlic. Place the pasta on the plate and add the veg mix on top. Sprinkle lightly with cheese.
