Color Your Style with Vegetables™

2010-05-02T14:59:00.000-07:00

Take a moment to picture a variety of vegetables in your garden or a big bowl of salad. Notice the colors, textures, flavors and aromas. As you picture your garden salad, your eye may be naturally drawn to your favorite vegetable. Your favorite vegetable is delicious on its own, but you can add zest to your salad by adding more vitamins, energy, and diversity with an array of vegetables. As you visualize your garden, hear the crunch of a crispy carrot, the tang of a spicy pepper, the texture of a tender green bean, and the sweet juiciness of a tomato. Each vegetable seems to have a personality of its own. As you imagine each vegetable, can you identify with the characteristics of one more than the other?

Herbs Reduce the Need for Sugar

Herbs can reduce the need for sugar in cooking. Try stevia, lemon balm, sweet cicely, and angelica. Plant herbs in your windowsill or garden. Stevia is 3x sweeter than sugar. Replace half of the sugar in your recipe with 1/3 stevia. Delicious and nutritious.

Add stevia and lemon balm to green tea to add a delicious flavor.
Freeze fresh stevia in ice cube trays, steep with tea, strain and enjoy.
Hearty lemon balm can be harvested year round.

I like the “Color Your Style with Vegetables™” analogy because you can see, touch, and taste the similarities and differences in the vegetables. A carrot can be long and thin or round and bumpy. Most vegetables come in more color varieties than you have probably ever imagined.
