We are really a family of veggie lovers. One of our favorite ways to prepare veggies is to steam them. I have a basket that sits inside a saucepan. I add enough water to the pan to come just to the bottom of the steamer basket. Fill your pan/basket with broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans and sprinkle with salt. Add 2 Tbsp butter and cover. Cook over medium high heat for about 20 minutes. Your veggies will be tender and delicious.
As a twist, I will often add two chicken or vegetable flavored bullion cubes in the water. This adds just a touch of extra flavor to your veggies.
Or . . . add a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning - Lemon Pepper of Citrus Basil are two of my favorites. This is a great way to flavor your veggies if you're looking for ways to reduce salt in your diet.
