    Snow Peas or Sugar Snap peas, steamed. Or my all time favorite, raw with veggie dip.

    I'm a HUGE fan of chinese broccoli. It's awesome in stir frys and wide rice noodle dishes!
    More conventional favorites of mine are tomatoes roasted in a tiny bit of olive oil and salt/pepper (awesome in pasta), and sweet potatoes; they're super easy to make into fries! I also like to cut them up, put a little olive oil on them and montreal steak seasoning, then roast them. Nom nom nom.

    It would be really tricky for me to name just one!!!

    I think it would have to be carrots. Brilliant cooked (boiled or roasted) and as a perfect low calorie snack eaten raw or used with a dip.

    I've been buying a lot of pattypan this summer. Love it Sautéed, grilled or roasted. I bought some at the farmers market today and she mentioned stuffed, so now of course looking for recipes for that!

    - spinach
    - radishes
    - cucumbers
    - beets
    - red cabbage
    - red onions or vidalia onions
    - green onions
    - snap peas
    - snow peas
    - broccoli
    - carrots
    - pretty much any root vegetable

    Just to name a few...

    Love veggies. Favorites are spinach and mushrooms. I eat spinach every morning with mushrooms and two eggs scrambled together. I also like big spinach salads for dinner with either sauteed chicken or hot dogs. I love to make an easy "stir fry" with Italian sausage, mushrooms and spinach sauteed in butter and hot sauce. I also put mushrooms into marinara sauce over zucchini noodles and I buy portobello mushroom caps and stuff them with a variety of things.
