What seasonings do you add to the veggies (when steaming)?

---

I put cajun seasong on everything or goya sazon

---

too spicy for me, but DH would like it.
Stupid question-do you put the seasoning on it then steam it or put the seasoning on it after?
Im a virgin cook

that's great idea!!

i usually cut out rice from my diet, and we eat a lottttt of rice and rice products.. made the switch to whole wheat pita, brown rice and quinoa for starch..

DH and i love desserts.. and we usually eat everything a la mode so i usually make some type of healthy cake or cookie to feel better..

A great way to cook any vegetable ( fresh green beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower are great this way):

arrange veggies on a baking sheet - spread them out.

sprinkle a little kosher salt on them.

drizzle some extra virgin olive oil or even light olive oil and mix them all up so that the oil is lightly coating the veggies.

cook in oven for 30 min or so - watch them so that they don't burn, but they should brown a bit.

VERYYYYYY good!! I do it all the time with asparagus and green beans.

i love love love those - DH and i have brussel sprouts at least twice a week. the other day i threw some salt on them and that was our snack! LOL

Gettin some good ideas ladies!! Thanks.

I've been cooking only chicken, turkey or fish since we got married. At first I got nervous that Dh would get bored or hate it, but he loves it.

(I only eat chicken, turkey & fish, but Dh is a red meat eater, but he's gotten used to my cooking and actually really likes it.)

I even found turkey 'chops'. Just like pork chops, but made of turkey meat. They are awesome. Shadybrook farms makes the best turkey products.

DH's favorites are chicken stir-fry (I make my own sauce)
and Chicken with peppers & onions...with Sofrito..sooo yummy.

I made 4 salads for the rest of the week and in them I put: lettuce, chick peas, shelled edamame and a dab of blue cheese - YUM!

As for sides for dinner, we usually steam or grill our veggies: broccolli, brocolli rabe, arichokes, green beans or asparagus. I am trying to do no or little carbs. Been having oatmeal for breakfast though...so good!
