16 Healthy fall vegetable recipes

Posted Nov 22 2009 10:02pm

healthy-vegetable-fall-recipes The other day, I was speaking to someone from Australia who had decided to lose weight.

He changed a lot of his habits. He first started make changes in how many of his favourite alcoholic beverages he drank each week, he started to make better food choices and he started also taking fitness seriously.

I was counselling him on a separate subject and before the end of the conversation, he asked if he could ask me a question that was on his mind and that he felt I could help him on given my background. He asked, “Which vegetables would you recommend to burn belly fat?”

Well, that was a hard one because there is not one specific vegetable that can help burn belly fat, but given that eating vegetables will help you feel fuller and more satisfied you might not have the need to pig out later in the day on foods you should avoid.

I explained that if he considered his meat proteins and carbs to be side dishes and considered his vegetables portions as his main dish, he would be better off.

I also suggested that he find vegetables that he likes and try to introduce new vegetables as often as he can. I was quite happy to hear that he actually did like a few vegetables and he ate them frequently.

I cheered his efforts and suggested that he keeps going in the same direction.

When I saw this special segment in Bon Appetit about “Cooking with Fall Vegetables”, I had to give my readers these delicious recipes that will make the most veggie-phobic people at your dinner table ask for seconds.

I think that when it comes to vegetables, the best approach is really to introduce one new vegetable at a time. There is no point in trying to buy loads of new vegetables all at once if you don’t know how to prepare them and if they are going to rot in your refrigerator.

Here are 16 recipes that will allow you to discover new vegetables and you’ll also be able to learn how to cook them to perfection!

*** I’M WARNING YOU, some of these recipes are so incredibly delicious that you might all of sudden feel the constant urge to eat MORE vegetables!
