Comparison Between Starchy and Non-Starchy Vegetables

STARCHY VS NON-STARCHY VEG
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• It is NOT necessary to avoid any vegetables but fill your plate with mostly non-starchy veg
• Non-starchy vegetables are low enough in calories compared to their weight that they can be eaten ‘freely’ including spinach, rocket, broccoli, cauli, carrots, Zucchini, cucumber, asparagus, capsicum, celery (sans peanut butter), tomatoes (technically a fruit), eggplant, lettuce, leeks, mushrooms, zucchini, Brussel sprouts, snow peas, squash
• More moderate portions of starchy vegetables is a good idea especially if you are trying to lose weight

Well, well, well, folks, it seems like we have a classic case of “too many cooks in the kitchen” on our hands. Yes, that’s right, I’m talking about the age-old dilemma of trying to cook a meal with multiple chefs all vying for control of the spatula.

Picture this: you’ve got Aunt Sally insisting on adding her secret ingredient of pumpkin spice to the gravy, while Uncle Bob is determined to throw in a handful of jalapenos for a little kick. And let’s not forget little Timmy, who wants to top it all off with a sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles because, well, why not?

But hey, who am I to judge? Sometimes, the best dishes come from a little chaos in the kitchen. Just look at the infamous “turducken” – a culinary masterpiece born from the mad genius of combining a turkey, duck, and chicken all in one glorious dish.

So, next time you find yourself in a kitchen showdown, remember to embrace the chaos and let your inner chef shine. Who knows, you might just create the next viral food trend. Happy cooking, everyone!
