Veggie Cooking Cheat Sheet

Cooking vegetables can be confusing sometimes, because each one is inherently so different. Ask and you shall receive, fellow veggie lover friends!

So step away from the pop tart! Yes, I know it's frosted and delicious (debatable).  

Try to strive for at least 2 cups of fruit and 3 cups of veggies today. 

Here are a few examples of what counts as a cup. In the morning, I love adding banana to Grapenuts cereal. Am I the only one on this planet who loves Grapenuts with no sugar? I love that crunchy deliciousness!

	1 cup 1/2 cup 1 small apple 1 small banana
	1 cup 1/2 cup 1 cup of lettuce* and 1/2 cup of other vegetables 6 baby carrots
	1 cup 1/2 cup 1/2 large sweet potato and 1/2 cup of green beans 16 grapes

Tonight's agenda is especially exciting. I'm getting my hair done (finally). Then I'm doing dinner and a movie with my beautiful sissy. I CAN'T WAIT! :)


Happy healthy eating and Happy Thursday! Woohoo!!!
