Get your vegetables!

Did you know that 1 serving of baby carrots provides 234% of your daily requirement for vitamin A, but only 30 calories!

I love vegetables. For me, a meal never feels complete without a nice veg side or salad. They are litterally packed with vitamins, antioxidants and flavor! Sometimes it is hard to incorporate vegetables into your meal because it seems like one more thing you have to cook. At SaucyPlate.com we have always felt that balanced meals are the key to healthy eating, so I have created meals for all kinds of palates that incorporate easy vegetables, such as the frozen kind, all the way up to fancy vegetable sides and salads. Check out some of my favorite veg recipes and meals:
