A Strategy For Cooking More Vegetables
January 18, 2022
LET'S TACO 'BOUT MEAL PLANNING
We recognize that, compared to meat, vegetables take a bit of work to turn into an entrée-worthy dish. So it does help to have a little strategy. When we founded Chaia, the starting point was taking seasonal vegetables and adding one everyday staple. For us, it was the corn tortilla. However, the strategy can apply to anything for your own weekday cooking:
Veggies + Noodles
Veggies + Grains
Veggies + Toast
Veggies + Broth
Veggies + Beans
The possibilities are endless.
Plus, there is so much to gain from putting vegetables at the center of your plate. Each vegetable boasts a different nutrient profile - antioxidants, vitamins, fiber, calcium, you name it - and each comes with an impressive list of benefits, from fighting illnesses to tummy soothing.
