THE 3:1 HERB RATIO

Remember that when seasoning your veggies (or even main dishes, for that matter) with herbs, the basic ratio for fresh to dried is 3:1. In other words, for dill you would replace 3 teaspoons (or 1 tablespoon) of fresh dill with 1 teaspoon of dried dill.

Any vegetable can be further accented with a drizzle of flaxseed oil, a baste of chicken, beef, or veggie broth, lemon juice, and herbs for phases 1 and 2. For phase 3, you can widen your taste horizons with a drizzle of olive, grape seed, or sesame oil for lifestyle eating and enjoyment. In phase 3, you can further experiment by adding some crunch in the form of toasted pine nuts, almonds, walnuts, filberts, and pumpkin and sunflower seeds to your vibrant vegetables—whether sautéed or steamed.

INSIDER TIPS

• When steaming veggies, use purified water. After the veggies are steamed, you can save this nutrient-rich water and add it to your ready-made or homemade broths for extra vitamins, minerals, and flavor.

• If steaming is not your thing, how about roasting your veggies in a hot oven. Roasting helps to potentize flavors in phase 2 and 3 favorites (think sweet potatoes) because the natural sugars caramelize.
