Well I've been having trouble already trying new veg recipes.  I made one that shall remain nameless and I made too big a batch.  It involved cabbage, carrots, and an apple.  The stuff wouldn't freeze.  The dressing I made tasted awful.  Maybe its ingredients weren't fresh enough.  How long can you keep olive oil before it tastes bad? It smelled okay.  

Not giving up, though.  Tonight I relied on frozen broccoli and frozen peas to accompany our mushroom frozen pizza.  Even that left a little to be desired, not as peppy as it usually is; the mushrooms were a bit soggy.  Cooked it 13 minutes, right in the middle of the required range of 12-14 minutes.

Better luck tomorrow!

Getting Started

So, finally, veggies and I are going to be friends.  In this new adventure I am going to try out new recipes and blog about this and the results.  They're supposed to take up half my plate.  And the simple frozen ones dolled up with a little Brummel and Brown just have lost their touch in cajoling me to eat them.  But I need to eat them.  

I've purchased some veggie cookbooks with gorgeous pix of all kinds of veggies and now the adventure begins.
