New Flavors + Veggies!

You know how when you eat the same dish over and over and over,  you end up disliking it?

For people on a tight budge it's probably hard to find a variety of food for every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Adding new different sauces or adding something different to a dish you've eaten 7 days a week of the same flavor probably helps with eating the exact same thing, just with a new flavor.

When my dad cooks his vegetables -- depending on which kind like broccoli, bok choy, spinach , etc-- it's usually boiled and a sauce is added in or on top of the dish, sometimes just a little bit of salt on top of boiled broccoli and it tastes great -- even without the salt -- The vegetables dad makes is always the same thing, but he tries to cook it in different ways. One is the already mentioned above, boiling, next is satay, then we have steam and another is adding it to a main dish so we have meat + veggies combined.

There are tons of ways to make vegetables more appetizing, but sometimes dad cooks them too fast --when he satay them -- and they still have a bite to them, which i don't usually mind except when it's winter melon, broccoli, and cauliflower, i think those soft!

Eat your veggies, after all they are good for your mind, body and soul!
