Two Great Ways to Eat More Veggies!

As a Personal Healthy Lifestyle Coach, I did not take offense when a new client said she'd heard a rumor going around about me that I was the woman who made people eat more fruits and veggies. Of all the things to be in this world, being a produce pusher is fine by me...
Last night I took a photo of my dinner to share with you all.
Super star - sweet potatoes are here on the right, peeled, cut into wedges, lightly misted with olive oil, sprinkled with cinnamon and roasted until tender at 450.
My newest delight - Alicia's "Steamer Casserole" on the left. In a large soup pot, sautee onions in 1/4 cup veggie broth, add chopped sweet orange peppers (or carrots) and stir. Then layer green beans, sliced ginger root, broccoli and kale (or swiss chard). Cover. Let the steam from the veggie broth cook through to the greens on top.
You can add variety and create your own blend. Try adding cubed tofu on top of the greens and sprinkle a little soy sauce before serving with brown rice or quinoa or roasted baby white potatoes. The possibilities are endless.
And just when I thought I had cornered the market on how to create vege variety in a snap - I get this photo from one of my healthiest and adventurous clients who said she thought of me when she put these in the oven... awww. I m flattered!
Can you guess how many veggies are in this dish? Do you have ideas to share?
Bon Apetit!
