Next week's goal: broccoli. I have yet to find any humanly (or inhumanly for that matter) way to eat broccoli and actually enjoy it. I've tried dumping as much cheese/ranch/you name it on the stuff and I still gag every time. It's too good for me to not give it a shot though! The problem is, all the stuff that sounds good is ridiculously high in fats and calories. I'm not willing to scarf down 600 calories on a side dish just to eat broccoli. Sorry 'bout your luck.
The veggie recipes I'm looking forward to trying next week -
- Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli (49 calories per serving)
It's an awful lot like the asparagus recipe I tried on Tuesday. But, I really liked that recipe so if it gets me eating broccoli, I could consider it a double win.
- Brilliant Sauteed Broccoli (81 calories per serving)
This one intriguies me: brown sugar, Parmesan cheese, red pepper and olive oil, to name a couple ingredients. I'm willing to try it!
After two days I'll probably be sick of broccoli so I'll have a day of carrots since it's the one veggie we always have in the house (hubby loves it raw and so do the pups)
- Glazed Dijon Carrots
Unfortunately, there's no calorie count listed on this one. But the only ingredients are carrots, water, margarine (which I'll probably use less of), brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground ginger and salt. I've definitely seen worse.
And of course, there's my everyday salad of mixed greens. I am, however, trying to get the Romaine mix - so there's greens with a little bit of carrots and red cabbage involved. Every little bit. Every little bit!
