Try adding a fav vegetable to a casserole,such as Mac & cheese with peas,broccoli,peppers etc.All veggies are wonderful in home made veggie soup.Olive Garden has Pasta De Fagioli,east to make,easy to cut in 1/2. freezes in zip lock bags or containers .You can heat for another lunch or dinner.

I cut carrots in to chunks, put them in a baking pan with some pam, add light salt, salt substitute, black pepper, garlic powder, and some cayenne pepper, cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes, remove the foil and cook for 10 minutes longer.

The sweetness of the roasted carrots goes well with the cayenne. You probably don't need to cook them that long, but the carrots touching the pan begin to carmalize/burn a bit, which tastes good to me

Thai coconut curry is so wonderful. I've made it with tofu or with meat. There are many recipes online. I use the Mae Ploy curry pastes, but I've also made my own. I usually use onion, bell pepper, zucchini and cauliflower for the vegetables, but I'm sure many other vegetables will work. I'm waiting for asparagus to go on sale so I can try that.
