Hi, yes we always do have some kind of vegetable, beside the plate looking empty, its mainly becasue its healthy too and a combination of protiens, vitamis, carbohydrates, fats, monerals,alone can give you a healthy good diet and food.
For me, it does not matter if the plate is not full or is full, what matters more is what i am eating should be healthy, wholesome, nourishing food.
But there are times when either we are eating fast food outside or having some other kinds of food, which may not have vegetables, but thats alright too, as it happens once in a while, as some change is welcomed by everyone. Though we do have a lot of salads and fruits there after with or meals, so thats a combination of all sort of things. I guess, prioity lies in healthy , good, nourishing, wholesome food.

hi peanutjar, i always serve vegetables with every supper meal. it is never that we are having any of our meal and our plate is not having any veggies. our plate really look empty without that. we are in a habbit of eating vegetables and we loveto eat it. they are good for health also, so we are benefetting from our habbit . in my house i m the cook so i always look forward to buy veggies that are fresh and we dont even have any much problem in buying fresh vegetables daily because their in a lady who serves fresh ones daily. she goes door ot door and people who wanna buy, like me who buy every day, are very comfortable with that.

We are vegetarians so there is no other option for me but to cook vegetables every day ! but all of us love our veggies and there is no meal without one dish with vegetables.

Hello peanutjar, Yes we do serve vegetables with our every supper meal in our house. Its been that way since I was a child in every meal we have there have to be a kind of vegetable with it.
Yes, I think the plate would look kind of empty without vegetables of some kind. In our house there's alway garlic, onion or tomatoes that we served as side dish or mixed to make as dip with our meal. :-)

I prefer to serve vegetable with my meal, while it has not only more color , but it is healthier too.Also I don't eat that much potatoes, so other vegetable like tomatoes, conr, asparugs are substanec for ppotatoes, or rice.All that is natural vitamins to my body.

Hi laurika!I do not care much for potatoes either and end up adding something in its place.Yes vegies add some color to the plate for sure.Its not so dull looking.

I absolutely must have veggies with every meal (except breakfast). As a matter of fact, most nights for dinner I only eat salad. But I include a lot of very good (and not so cheap) ingredients in my salad. It's a great way to beat the heat in the summer, avoiding heating up your kitchen.

I love salads.Usually in the summer i only cook on the grill outside because it does heat up the house alot.Do you put nuts in your salads?Thankyou for responding!
