Lose weight the fun way.

I have to work to get veggies in. Some times I stir fry them, other times I bake them, of course there is always the fresh or salad option. In an effort to keep it interesting and make sure I get in all my veggies I have been using my crock pot. I just fill it to the top with whatever veggies I have on hand, sometimes I will throw some frozen in the mix if I don't have a very good variety. I season them differently to keep it interesting. Costco has a great asian ginger garlic seasoning, I also have a Tikki Masala and an italian blend I use. I think my favorite go to is to use Rotel canned tomatos in it and add different mexican seasonings. I keep my veggies mainly low carb so I feel free to have a bowl whenever I am tempted to go off course. I don't usually add extra liquid, but if I am in a soup mood I will had some beef or chicken boullion. When the pot is done cooking for the day I portion it down so I have veggies ready to eat for several days.

I am always looking for ideas, So, what do you do to get your veggies in?

I have been eating mine raw mostly, but I will say, I do so love just about any of them, chopped, no salt, + either chopped onion or onion powder + parmesan + real not the fake stuff butter! UUUHMMMM roasted at 400degrees for 20-30 minutes.... uuuuummmmmmm! THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE!

I do the same. It is an old Weight Watcher recipe. The flavor varies enough with whatever veggies you use...some fresh, some frozen. I prefer at least a few bell peppers to give a sweet aftertaste without the sugar calories. Using beef or chicken broth adds a little protein. Sometimes I'll cook to soft but most often, like to leave a little crunch to make me slow down.

I got a juicer which makes morning veggies easier and use the left over pulp in breads and muffins. It takes effort, so I don't do this everyday, but it's added some variety for me. I also love sautéed veggies in marinara sauce. I add tofu to that a lot, and sometimes whole wheat noodles. I wish I had a crockpot to do what you are doing though.
