Healthy Vegetable Recipes - Healthy Recipes for Vegetables

Did your mother ever tell you to eat your vegetables? She's right, you should eat your vegetables though you might not want to use your mom's recipes though. Eating 2 to 6 ½ cups of colorful fruits and vegetables a day is important for good health. Visit MyPyramid.gov to find out how many cups you need.

Fruits and vegetables also contain fiber and phytochemicals, which protect against the effects of aging, and reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease.
