Sounds great!! We can do this!
ReplyDeleteI was told that most of the nutrients in the broccoli are the little buds on the tip. So what I do is shave the buds off the broccoli the steam them over boiling whatby placing aluminum foil with holes overthe boiling water and cover it with the top for about 5min. Then I add it to macaronni and cheese. Please pass it around
ReplyDeleteI will pass it around I will make a post on special fruits and veggies next week. Also look into tumeric, very helpful inside and out I will also have a post about it. My grocery haul will be today sometime. I hope all is well for everyone!

this sounds really good. i could probably try and do something like this a couple days a week or a couple times a month.
ReplyDelete@Freshfoodie: I am so happy you could use some of these I just want to expand minds so people dont feel so deprived when trying to live healthy.
