    I eat a lot of raw veggies because they are easy and I hate cooking. :) I make a ranch dip with reduced fat sour cream and a Hidden Valley ranch packet to dip them in - just be sure to measure your portion of the dip! Very good. I also love cucumbers and salsa together. Another favorite is to take a variety of raw veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc) and toss them in a little low fat or fat free Italian dressing.

    If I feel like "cooking" - roasted zucchini, squash and mushrooms in the oven are my favorite. Skinnytaste.com is a great resource for recipes and the Skillet Mexican Zucchini recipe is AMAZING. I roasted it in the oven for 25-30 minutes instead of using a skillet. Spaghetti squash is very good, too. All kinds of recipes on Pinterest.

    Have fun with your veggies and they are actually very good!

    For me it depends on the vegetable. With broccoli, I like to make broccoli-and-rice. I mix onions, rice, cheddar cheese, and a little milk with the broccoli, and then bake it.
    With spinach, I like to mix sausage, spices, and mozzarella cheese in and bake that. For both of these dishes I use frozen spinach, but with broccoli-and-rice fresh broccoli works better.

    Your broccoli rice dish sounds great, I'm going to write it down and try, thanks!

    Im a HUGE fan of skinnytaste.com. You'll find an abundance of recipes there; some are more time consuming than others but it's so worth checking the website out. I've printed out numerous recipes from there and haven't been unhappy with any of them!

    Raw. In salads. Mostly. Broccoli I steam slightly.

    For company I have a couple of cooked veggie dishes I do. Try carrots sliced evenly and sautéed in butter until tender, then shake some dried basil and one or two tbsp. of real maple syrup.

    I'm all about easy so I do mine the same way. Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, kale all thrown in the oven with olive oil spray and garlic salt at 400 for 12 mins
