Vegetables are packed with nutritious value. Sometimes when it comes to eating them, it’s easier said than done. One way to get plenty of vegetables in is with a recipe Lori Bumbaco, Oncology Dietitian at NorthShore’s Kellogg Cancer Center, has in store for us!
Blending vegetables or beans into traditional meat-based recipes offers a nutrition upgrade in numerous ways – such as added fiber, vitamins and minerals.
