If eating better is among your resolutions, these recipes can help

My doctor would approve of my New Year’s resolutions. The first of six 2022 promises: a vow to eat more vegetables. I assume most readers hear similar dietary suggestions from their docs. Most studies point to the value of a nutrient-rich, balanced diet with abundant plant-based ingredients. Eating more veggies can be a delicious way to get vitamins and minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Fresh vegetables have endless culinary potential, providing alluring tastes and textures, aromas and colors. It doesn’t take much time or effort to showcase them in mouth-watering ways.

So, my 2022 goal is to enjoy more nutrientrich fresh vegetables every day, to feel great and have plenty of energy and vitality. Bring it on. Here are recipes that highlight everything from arugula to chard to sugar snap peas. Delicious.
