Eight Of The Best Veggies :)

Happy Sunday !! It's been cold and very rainy here just the kind of day when you want to relax all day in pajamas and not get dressed up at all . How is it that , the lovely flannel pj's from Primark keep you so warm yet normal clothes with a sweater have you so cold ,  all you do is sit still shivering feeling glum , lol .. Oh yes the heating's hardly on , because the bloody suppliers charge so much , normal people can hardly afford the bills !!! What does the government do ? Nothing , they allow the big six to charge whatever prices they want and they turn a blind eye .. Yet there is such a thing as minimum wage , how about maximum anything ? Crooked world we live in and we can't do anything about it , lol ..

But a  thought about the eight best vegetables around , we could eat this winter , to get us healthy so our body is fit and able to cope with the cold winter months . Even though a lot of people are not fans of veggies , you could cook up some hearty meals to satisfy yourself and keep you warm . These are my favourites and I cook them up in almost everything !

1) Spinach : 2 cal , It's high in fiber , protein ,calcium ,iron , magnesium , potassium and vitamins A ,C , E , K and B6 as well as high in sodium . The best ways to eat it is raw , in salads stir-fried or cooked in a curry .

2) Red Bell Pepper : 30 cal , high in fiber , potassium and vitamins A ,C ,K , D and B6 . High in natural sugars it is best eaten raw , or in salads , roasted or stir-fried .

3) Red Onions : 44 cal , high in fiber , potassium and vitamins C and B6 . They are high in natural sugars . Eat them in salads , raw , sauteed or stir-fried . Aldi is doing a great offer this week 59 p for a kilo :)

4) Tomatoes : 22 cal ,high in magnesium , fiber , potassium and vitamins A , C and K . High in sugars eat them raw in salads , sandwiches or use them in tomato based pasta sauces . Super delicious !

5 ) Eggplant or Aubergines or Brinjals , wherever in the world you are , those are the names used and I particularly  love this veg . 110 cal ,high in magnesium , potassium and vitamins C , K and B6 . Eat them roasted ,  grilled or stir-fried !

6) Cucumbers : 24 cal , this veg is high in magnesium , potassium and vitamins A , C and K . High in sugars , eat it raw or in salads .

7) Cauliflower : 3 cal , high in protein , magnesium , fiber , potassium and vitamins C , K an B6 . High in sugars eat it steamed ,roasted or in salads .

8) Mushrooms : 2 cal , high in fiber ,protein , iron , potassium and vitamins d and B6 .eat them stir-fried ,sauteed ,or roasted . Add them to pastas , noddles, salads and casseroles !

Enjoy your veggies and get your kids to eat them too ! Have a wonderful  week and keep smiling !
