She wanted to make sure he got his nutrients and looked at the vegetable steamer baskets when she went shopping. She was hoping if she made him steamed vegetables he would eat all of them like he did when he would get them at a restaurant. Donna liked the vegetable steamer baskets that had a nice distance between the water and the bottom of the basket. When looking at local department stores, kitchen stores, and even online at sites like http://BestVegetableSteamers.com/ she got a good idea of what she wanted. She also liked the newer versions of the vegetable steamer baskets that had popup grips.

When Donna went grocery shopping, she picked up a few fresh vegetables thinking she would test her theory before she bought a bunch of fresh vegetables. That evening she steamed green beans and pearl onions. Her husband had a second helping of the vegetable dish and she knew she would have to try out some more recipes.

The next night Donna made steamed corn on the cob using her vegetable steamer basket. Her husband loved her BBQ ribs and she had seen a time where he only ate half of his corn on the cob but this night he ate two full cobs. He told her he did not know what she did with the corn but it was great as he reached for his second ear of corn.

The third night Donna used her vegetable steamer basket to make fresh broccoli with snap peas. When the vegetables were finished, she put a dab of butter on them and set them on the table. When she went into the kitchen and looked over at the table her husband was sneaking one the broccoli blossoms and she was amazed at the disappearing vegetables.

She had finally figured out the trick to getting her husband to eat vegetables. Cooking them in a vegetable steamer basket was so simple she had to giggle at herself for not realizing it sooner. This is the same thing I do for my own family now.
