  • More Veggies: Add green beans, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms, celery, or leafy greens like spinach or kale.
  • Noodles or Rice: Swap potatoes for pasta or rice. We recommend adding these cooked just before serving.
  • Beans: Kidney beans, navy beans, or lentils add extra protein and fiber.
