thats true, src, thanks for the suggestions! Right now I am trying to only eat whole foods, I've been on a diet for 9 months now and I'm stalled so I'm cutting out all processed foods and pretty much anything that is white (bread, flour, potatos, rice, etc). That's why I'm having such a hard time thinking of different ways to cook all my veggies. I'm thinking I should just steam them all and eat them how they come lol. : / I want to make some kind of stew but I just bought a crock pot and don't know the first thing about making stew in it.
