Did you know fat makes vegetables more nutritious? Vegetables’ antioxidants and vitamins become more available to our bodies when we eat them with fats. Try butter in collards, bacon fat with root vegetables, and olive oil with tomatoes. Here, tender spinach is buttery enough to be delectable even for greens haters. Eggs round out a full breakfast.
