Garden season is just about here. That means fresh locally grown produce will be readily available. Most vegetables are perfectly healthy and delicious when eaten raw. Many folks, however; prefer their vegetables cooked.
Just a few reminders when preparing fresh vegetables. They really don't need seasoning or toppings. Some folks like just a little salt, but the fresh flavor of home grown or locally grown produce needs little to be added.
Steamed or blanched is best and if you haven't tried it, I would encourage you to do so. Just a little water in the bottom of a saucepan. Add your fresh veggies and a lid. Bring to a boil on high heat. As soon as steam begins to escape, turn off the burner, but leave the lid in place. Vegetables should be firm but tender and they will still contain most of the nutrients our Creator put in them.
Don't cook the goodness out of the veggies!
