(Two food posts in a row -- can you tell I've started cooking again?)

Today's tip is so obvious I'm almost embarrassed to share it. But let's face it, it's not like that's ever stopped me before!

I wanted to add more veggies to our diet, and was failing at it ... until I had a lightbulb moment and started planning the meal around the vegetables instead of around the meat. I basically have meat preparation down pat, so I've been trying out new ways to prepare vegetables and it's gotten me out of a kitchen rut.

Where do I get my recipes? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/156924264X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=mothisblisort-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=156924264X">Vegan</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mothisblisort-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=156924264X" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> and vegetarian cookbooks, of course! I bought turnips for the first time in my life, and they're going to go into a soup. A soup! Made from turnips! It's a brand new world...
