A Couple of Additional Vegie Recipes for . :-)

[Guest guest]

I truly adore Vegetables, . Below are a couple more for you:

Roasted Asparagus -- Serves 4

1 lb of asparagus

extra virgin olive oil

coarse ground pepper

Heat the oven @ 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil. Baste the foil

with olive oil. Cut the asparagus stalks where the color changes. Place on the

baking sheet. Lightly pour the olive oil on the tips and then ground the peper

across the same. Bake for 10 mins or when it is sizzling.

Brussel Sprouts -- 4 Servings

1 lb of brussel sprouts

2-4 tbl of butter

2-4 tbl of dijon seeded mustard

Fill a pan with an inch of water and place the " steamer " inside the pan. Cut the

stems of each sprout and place into the steamer. Cover and place on the stovetop

at high.

I like my vegetables cooked " al dente. " You need to test how firm or soft you

would like your vegetable.

While steaming, place the butter and mustard in a 10 " nonstick skillet. Once

steamed to your desired firmness, remove from the heat and place the nonstick

skillet onto the heat and lower it to medium.

Once the butter/mustard has melted, place the brussel sprouts onto the pan and

sautee till the mustard grabs onto the sprouts.

~Um.... the veggies are... Umm... Yeah non existent... I need to work on

that, I should try to incorporate at least a really good salad everyday or

something

~I work until 9 and don't have school until 12 so I usually go to bed around

maybe 1 am but I don't get up until 930 ish, work out, then eat then go to

school or work... I have the worst schedule when it comes to trying to cook

real food

~I might be able to prepare food on Saturdays, I work all day Sundays so

that day is out. I should try cooking some food on Saturdays tho.. This

saturday will be hard because I have a seminar from 9-3 but maybe I could

cook some food in the evening

~MMM see I eat oatmeal, cream of wheat, cottage cheese and yogurt like crazy

even when I'm not " dieting " so for me those foods are yummy and they are

foods I have always been eating so I KNOW I can keep those up for the long

run... Buuuuuuuut I do get burned out on them every once in a while and

would like to try other foods

~Current BF according to biofitness is 26.1%
