What is your favorite fruit/veggie to eat? How do you like to prepare it (cooked, raw, seasoned, etc...)? Any recipes that you make with it?

I like spaghetti squash because it is quite versatile. There is a great recipe on www.allrecipes.com called "spaghetti squash I". Very healthy, and easy to make. Also very tasty.

Fuji apples. cold and crisp

Hmmm. I absolutely LOVE watermelon!!! You ever smell vine-riped tomatoes? Yum! And, finally, sweet potato. I like it baked.

Veggies I love eggplant. I cut it open & roast then add to pasta sauce or top with cheese. I also like to slice it in half, then slice 1/2 way through one half (think like a pita pocket) & take some wilted spinach & ricotta and stuff it in the eggplant pocket. Then I roast the whole thing. Great vegetarian meal. You can add any meat you like if you eat meat.

Fruits I love grapes. I like to eat then raw or even freezing them & popping a few. Just like having an ice pop on a hot summer day.

Yams... plain baked in their jackets.

Figs... just as they are, eaten raw. By the case if I could get them!

Fruit: Peaches! Raw and with nothing else (though I have been known to enjoy them with yogurt, or grape nuts. I'd pretty much eat them with everything if it were an option).

Vegetable (Ok, I guess technically it's a berry...): Eggplant. Yum yum yum. Any way it's prepared. Stewed, roasted, grilled, sandwiches.

i love broccoli!!
I like to steam it and just eat it.
sometimes i make a cheese sauce for it and just eat a plate of broccoli and cheese sauce for dinner.
Also i cut it up into small florets and shake it in a Tupperware container with light Italian or other vinaigrette dressing (lightly dressed) and it makes a nice salad to put beside your dinner.

Favorite Fruit:
BERRIES! Strawberries, blue berries, raspberries love em all

Veggies:
This is tough. I'd say Green Beans or Broccoli but both cooked not raw (steamed or roasted)

Just found some recipes for both that sound/are great

Roasted Parmesan green beans- (this one is great already tried it)

sweet potatoes - cut into strips, tossed with 1/2 tsp olive oil, sprinkled with chili powder, .1/4 tsp of sugar and baked at 350 for 20 minutes. nice side dish or nice snack.

I go by what's in seasoon... right now I love butternut squash It's very sweet & easy to cook - just chop up, rub with a tiny bit of olive oil, rosemary, and garlic - then roast, skin on in the oven. You can also cook them with a bit of water, in the microwave! Taste like candy! I love almost any kind of winter squash... pumpkin, acorn... mmmm! Also in season for us now are citrus. I'm loving a little tangerine for dessert!

Fave fruit: Bananas. I use them in almost every smoothie I make. Really hits the spot, and tastes good no matter what kind of smoothie it is.

Fave veggies: Bell peppers. I love the red ones most, but all of them together (usually sliced and roasted) can really make a meal.

Christine42012

Fav Veg has to be Broccoli! I steam it and put all kinds of spices on. Montreal steak, Garlic powder, and Red pepper flakes are my top 3 ways to spice it up!

Fav Fruit . . . . PINEAPPLE!!! On everything. But my ultimate is rings on the bbq. But in cottage cheese or yogurt on Kabobs. Sauteed then put on top of meat. LOVE ME MY PINEAPPLE! I also make a sweet and sour meatball with tons of pineapple and green peppers. Still working on it to fit into my new calorie limits though. . .

Frozen grapes

I loooooove cuccumbers! and celery, and broccoli! lol (like them all raw)
my favorite fruit is banana. and strawberries....mmmmm!

Seriously, I love just about every fruit and veggie I have ever tried. They are all made of awesome. Hence, I am a vegetarian.

However, if I had to pick all time favourites - tomato is something I couldn't live without, I eat it just about every day. There is a case for calling it a vegetable or a fruit - technically, it is a fruit.

All of my favourite vegetables are actually fruits! zucchini, eggplant, capsicum, tomato.... I guess my favourite vegetable that actually is a vegetable would probably be spinach or carrot.

Favourite fruit which is eaten as a fruit - hmmmm, so many nice ones, probably pineapple. Or maybe white peaches, or strawberries, or passionfruit... so many nice ones, how do you pick?

Figs... just as they are, eaten raw. By the case if I could get them!

You are a girl after my own heart! Those are my favorites, too! Love a baked yam (sweet potato) and fresh figs just are not around long enough to suit me! My daughter and I can eat a gallon of them by ourselves. :noway:

lilah808

I've been adding fresh basil to my salads....mmmmm so good!

Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tomatoes, green apples, celery, green beans, strawberries, starfruit, grapefruit, green grapes, cherries (in small doses), corn, cucumber, banana... I like a LOT of fruits and veggies. Some it doesn't matter how they're cooked. I could eat some of those raw.. I sometimes even eat Tomatoes like they're apples.

Watermelon. Just cant beat the hydrating ability of a watermelon.

Pebble321

Cherries! My favorite fruit and the season is so short that I enjoy them when ever I can (or whenever I can afford them).
I bought some at the market today and they are half gone already.
I also often marvel at how good a really good apple can be - the pink ladies are lovely at the moment.

Tamstar1985

wow, i love this question!

watermelon is my absolute favourite fruit. i just cut a small one in half and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh i also love apples! and mango.

for veggies... i love roasted brussel sprouts. i love roasted eggplant. roasted sweet potatoes or purple yams. stir-fried onions with loads of black pepper and mushrooms. seaweed in soups and salads. i enjoy leeks in a nice chicken broth. pickled daikon radish.

...i have to stop here because i am quite sure i love every single fruit and veg put in front of me ^_^;;;

Galletakek

grapes! nom nom nom

LilMissFoodie

Fruit: In the summer I love strawberries/rasberries/blueberries, peaches, mangoes in the winter satsumas!

Veg: I love asparagus, brussel sprouts, eggplant, broccoli and pumpkin but I use loads of zucchini, carrots and mushrooms as you can cut them up and pop them in just about any meal to help bulk it out

andreacord

Spaghetti squash, any sort of berry, cauliflower, asparagus, apple, cucumber and carrots.

capaxinfiniti
