Steamed Vegetables With John's Dipping Sauce.

This combo of vegetables is what is most often seen at our dinner table. My husband created this sauce for the kids to dip them in. Now it's mandatory to keep this made up in the fridge. I'm not guaranteeing that your kids will like it as much (my 3 can have odd tastes) but anything is worth a try when attempting to get them to eat their veggies.

4. Bring to a simmer. Place steamer basket with veggies on top and cover.
5. Steam the vegetable until fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes. (or for the length of time it takes to make the vegetables how you like them.).
6. Immediately remove from heat and serve.
7. Sauce:
8. Place ingredients into a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
9. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve along side veggies.
