Adding vegetables to every meal is important to a balanced diet. Here are 15 easy vegetable recipes that add in color and nutrients to every dish!
One of the biggest hang ups Ben and I had when we first started dating was the he thought I lacked vegetables in my cooking. Okay, fair. I’m a Czech girl – we subsisted on meat and potatoes for eons. Adding in other colors was a feat. Not that I didn’t like veggies, but I just went with what was easy.
But adding in vegetables to dishes became much easier the more I did it. Whether you’re looking for an easy side dish like the sweet and spicy gochujang and bacon carrots, or this super easy vegetable soup recipe in the potato leek soup, which is vegetarian and can be made vegan friendly – veggies are great ways to boost your nutrient counts and stay full for longer.
Some of my favorites in this round up are the 5 minute garden salsa which I put to use every summer with my overabundance of tomatoes. It’s done in a food processor, so easy! Then there is the asparagus and egg avocado toast. It’s taking avocado toast to a new level, especially with homemade sourdough.
