I made a huge vegetable soup today, and I’m so glad to say I included most of the vegetables that are best cooked! Thank you so much. This is a great way to get my veggies in.

Love my kale salads. I run warm water over mine first and toss with olive oil and cayenne help my raynauds 😁

So my Grandpa used to eat onions like an apple. He would just take a bite out of it chewed up and swallow it. It was pretty crazy and he also liked raw onion sandwiches and I actually do. Enjoy those too. But he was definitely an onion and garlic fanatic and eating them raw.

Massaged raw kale works great in a salad. In a bowl drizzle olive oil over torn leaves with stems removed. Then squeeze and squeeze the leaves in the bowl in your hands until it is soft and tender.
Also recomment a squeeze of lemon juice with it. The lemon reduced the absorption of oxylates. Then add healthy toppings

Don’t laugh, I eat zucchini raw all the time. Even if I’m cooking it I gotta cut a few slices to nibble as I cook it.

I wish I could est mushrooms. That texture, I just can't.

I have to eat most of the veggies cooked because of digestive issues. Glad to know spinach is also better for you cooked. And I honestly did not know you could eat zucchini raw. Carrots are more nutritious cooked??

Cook vegetables in a covered glass bowl in a microwave. They cook in their own moisture and retain about 85% of all the nutrients. Only takes a few minutes and the veggies come out perfect
