Fave Vegetable

Amy_B

I need as many detailed delicious recipes for fixing veggies as possible, as I mainly eat canned or frozen veggies
(and not enough of them) ... I can fixed stuffed peppers, and that's about it.

I need to know ways to fix asparagus (have never had) , squash, spinach (have never had) brussel sprouts (have never had), etc

I am a novice, and please include recipes that include veggies in them too (pasta, rice)

I don't even eat salads, I don't like lettuce, so cooked veggies are the way to go for me
the only veggies I like raw are tomatoes (on nachos, lol) and onion, that's about it

I don't know how to use fresh garlic either

and thanks!

Asparagus--Coat in EVOO, garlic powder, and sea salt. Roast in oven for about 20 minutes on 350.
Spinach--Throw it in just about any dish (raw). One of my favorite things is a fruit/spinach salad. It's any dried fruit, any fresh fruit, spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, nuts, croutons, and sesame ginger dressing. You can omit anything you don't like.
Squash--Really depends on the kind. I use zucchini and summer squash in a lot of veggie dishes (stir-fry, casseroles, lowfat alfredo). I cook butternut according to the stick on it then add some light butter and brown sugar. Spaghetti squash can be used however you use the noodles.

Thanks for the replies ... I think I will try fresh asparagus first, find out if I like it

If I wanted to have spaghetti and pasta sauce, and wanted to add veggies to it too ... which ones would be good? squash? if yes what kind? and how would you fix it?

I'm definitely new to the vegetable thing, having avoided them like the plague my whole life. But I've really been enjoying root vegetables; carrots, potatoes, onions, parsnips, etc.

Throw in a beet or two here and there, and I'm with you. I like them roasted in the oven with a little balamisc vinegar, mixed with onions and oranges....mmm.... I also looooovvveeee pickled beets. You'll see that on my food diary more than a few times.
