What is your favorite vegetable, and how do you prepare it? I'm looking for inspiration to fit more veggies into my day. I'm also deciding what is going into my garden, want to try some new things. :bigsmile:

    Peppers! more importantly jalapeno and pablano...I love cooking with them. Remove the seeds and their is more flavor that can be added to any dish...perfect with egg whites!

    I love most veggies but my favorite lately has been broiled asparagus.

    Lightly coat the bottom of a cookie sheet with olive oil
    add cleaned asparagus cut in 1" pieces
    add with salt and pepper to taste
    broil for about 10 min. keep an eye on them so they don't burn
    sprinkle with balsamic vinegar
    enjoy

    Cucumbers. They add crunch and freshness to any meal. Slice and sprinkle with salt, add to sandwiches, add to salad, or just crunch by itself.

    Broccoli. I boil water, then put the cleaned/cut broccoli in for 3 minutes. Drain, place in bowl with a little Earth Balance butter. Or Mrs. Dash. Or any seasoning you like!

    Asparagus is great brushed with a little olive oil, sprinkled with S/P or other seasoning, then grilled. Even my 5 year old loves it!

    If you are not a big veggie fan then roast veg is the way to start! I roast sweet potato, parsnip, red onion, carrots, red pepper or whatever I have in the fridge
