A great thing about most steamers is they come with stackable steaming baskets, so you can easily add more meat or poultry to one basket for hubby, and less or none to another basket of the otherwise same ingredients for you. I find it the simplest method of cooking, and is certainly handy for lightly steaming things before pureeing them in the VM!

My favorite is

"cream" of

cauliflower, but

has no cream. I

just lightly

steam cauliflower

in my steamer, put

it in the VM with

a splash of rice

or

almond milk (can

use real milk or

cream, if desired)

and a pinch of sea

salt. I use enough

cauliflower to

give it the body

and texture I

want, and

it turns out very

velvety and

smooth. You can

add grated cheese,

herbs or

other seasonings.

This is a thick,

rich, lovely soup

that I eat daily.

This also works

with steamed

cabbage, beets, or

other veggies.

One way you might "trick" hubby, is to steam with a rub of tumeric, paprika, or "blackened" seasoning-gives the color of sauteed without the hassle-bet if you don't TELL him it was actually steamed, he won't notice-mine never did, lol.

I have actually tried that and he did notice and complained. He is big on the

flavor of the browning. Personally I don't care as it is the actual proteins

flavor I am liking, but now I prefer the taste of veggies.

Actually, that wouldn't have worked on me, either.

I make this chinese chicken salad, where usually I boil the chicken,

using the broth for something else and chopping the chicken with

lots of cabbage and other stuff. He wants me to saute the chicken

til brown to do it.
