A roundup of delicious, better-for-you meals with lots of vegetables to help you eat better in the new year.
It’s a brand new year and many of us have made a resolution to eat better. My resolution every year is to eat more veggies. I’m not a huge vegetable lover, but when you add vegetables with other ingredients in a fabulous sauce or soup, I don’t mind eating my veggies at all.
