I don’t really have a recipe for you today – just a tip!  Lately, I’ve been trying to eat more vegetables.  Especially because they’re starting to be in season, and thus, cheaper to buy.  My 2-year-old eats most veggies, so I always have them on hand.  For him.  And I’m really good at serving them to him.  Not me.  But I do find that I eat more raw veggies when I take a few minutes to prep them.  For me, that mean cutting up a bunch of vegetables and putting them into a 9×13 plastic container and sticking them right back in the fridge.  Come meal time, I just put the whole container on the table.  Everyone can help themselves. It also makes it much easier to cut up a few pieces and throw them in a salad.  Or dice them for a soup or a casserole.  Winner!

Since I work outside of the home, I also like to take veggies to work to eat.  So after I chop them, I put some into 4-5 different baggies.  I’m a fan of dipping them in Ranch, so I also throw in a little Tupperware container of Ranch dressing.  Stick them all in the fridge and then I can take one to work each day.  No more excuses!
