Short of curing cancer and promising never-ending longevity, vegetables are accredited with so many health benefits it’s a wonder that their daily consumption is not a common obsession. Rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, vegetables are THE cornerstone of a healthy diet. Once the exclusive domain of vegetarians, vegetable-only meals are being incorporated into a growing number of weekly menu plans. And why not? They’re good for health, they help with weight loss and they’re easy on the budget.

Fried Apple Slices

admin — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 18:34:12 +0000

3-4 apples
Sugar
2-3 tbsp. butter

Wash and core apples. Then cut into slices whichever way you prefer them, crosswise is a good way about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick. Dip apple slices into sugar. Heat fry pan, melt the butter and add slices. Brown slices on both sides. You do want to cook them until they’re tender. Can sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon before serving. I use my electric skillet and I set it on 300 degrees to melt butter and cook apples. Might set the skillet on the burner to medium high to cook the apples.
