I also do better with steamed than raw. You can purchase a little steamer basket

and put it in your saucepan to cook the veggies. I would avoid the plastic bags

if possible. You can do rice and veggies at the same time...my rice cooker has a

steamer basket. I think mine was 25 or so at Target. Do not buy loads of

veggies. Buy a couple days worth tops. You may hate it or not have time to cook.

As far as cooking for reheating, you can 1/2 cook the veggies then drop into ice

water to stop the cooking process, then reheat them later for a quicker meal.

Hi.. newbie from ohio here. Have some nutritional questions for you

all.

 

I'm going to try to gravitate towards a more " Whole Foods " type diet.

Not to confuse that with the store, this basically means i'm trying to

take in more veggies and fruits in their whole/raw forms cut the

refined and processed crap etc...

 

My question is this.

 

I've been to an acupuncturist that advised me that my consitution is

such that i will do better with steamed veggies than raw. And

ironically I hate to cook. lol.. well i don't mind cooking, I'm just

one of those gals thats always on the go so quick is top on my list too.

 

Can steamed veggies keep for reheating? Should I avoid those steamer

bags in an effort to avoid plastics chemical contamination? (this is

another place where i want to alter my lifestyle.. cut down on plastics

etc...)

 

Also, any nutrition advice on this front is very much appreciated!

 

So far my plan is to pick up sprouted grain bread and keep it frozen--

just take out enough that I think i'll need for the day (like 2

slices) and some fresh fruits.

 

Thanks bunches. April
