We all know that we need about 5 to 9 servings of vegetables a day. That might seem a lot but actually, it isn’t so. Do you know that each serving is measured in half cups?

If you have leftover food, you should search the refrigerator for leftovers, like bits of corn or onions from last night’s dinner. Keep a few hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator to add protein to your daily vegetable salad recipes. In summer, when you see red, orange and sweet bell peppers being sold at a bargain, snag them up. Dice them all and freeze in serving sized freezer bags, with water to cover and some lemon juice to retain color and nutrients. Mix them all in a large bowl. That is all you need to satisfy your daily nutrition requirement. You should vary the choice of your vegetables daily so that you do not become bored of the tastes. You can use onions, mushrooms, sliced carrots, radishes, artichoke hearts, broccoli and cauliflower, whichever you like. By: Ken
