    - olive oil roasted broccoli (also cauliflower)
    - wilted spinach
    - sauteed asparagus (olive oil)
    - roasted beets
    - baked sweet potatoes

    - pasta w/red sauce
    - mac and cheese
    - quinoa pilaf
    - rice pilaf
    - lentils
    - split peas

    and so many more....it really depends on what the main part of the meal is and what my mood is. FYI, there is far more to healthy living than just steaming veggies...

    I eat loads of veggies usually either sauteed in olive oil with garlic or roasted with olive oil and garlic. Lately, I have had a thing about zucchini pancakes. I use a couple of eggs, maybe 2 cups of grated zucchini, a splash of milk or water, about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (can't you tell I really don't measure a lot of stuff) about 1 tablespoon of flour, and seasoning to taste. Spray a fry pan and cook batter like pancakes (although I generally make them smaller, about 2" diameter). I eat moderate carb. You could probably skip the baking powder and flour if you wanted to be lower carb.

    Oh, how could I have forgotten asparagus!! Roasted, sauteed, grilled - with olive oil and garlic (or fried shallots!) As long as it still has a little crunch it's ALL good. Skip that nasty slimy canned crap *shudder*.
