    Marinades are my bestest friends when it comes to making veggies more interesting.

    Italian blend veg + lemon garlic marinade + chicken or fish + small serving of pasta + parmesan cheese.

    Any of the oriental blends + chicken or fish + Teryaki or Thai or Sesame Ginger or Soy sauce marinades + rice.

    Green beans and honey mustard... YUM.


    I never even thought about marinading veggies. Awesome. Definitely have to give that a try.

    I'm definitely not a veggie person. I can list the veggies I like, and it's not many. (squash, peppers, onion, cucumbers....) I'm just having to learn different ways of cooking the few I do enjoy so that I can have them often. Many I have grown out of or I got so used to eating them covered in ham grease (yay for being southern, turnip greens/green beans with bacon in it? oh yes.) that I can't eat them any other way. You sir are not alone.

    I eat almost the same thing everyday (squash, zucchini, etc..), and I don't mind the lack of variety. I do try something different sometime and discover something else I like (i.e. tofu, guacamole, dragonfruit).
  • I tend to be a somewhat picky eater. For most of mu life I was a meat and potatoes guy. Still am, but I have worked some veggies in as well. Problem is, I eat the same veggies every single day. California blend, Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrots. Thats it. I cant find other veggies I like. Also, I hear people talk about foods that are great so i try them and they are terrible. For instance: Cottage cheese, Almond butter, greek yogurt (or any yogurt for that matter), Quinoa, all these things I hear are good for you and people love them but I cant do it. I tried to just choke down some Greek Yogurt and I got like two bites into it and had to give up. Same with Cottage cheese. I just cant do it. Anyone else have this problem?

    I'm with you on the greek yogurt. I've tried every brand I can get my hands on and hate them all.

    I tried all the ones that come with some sort of fruit to mix in and still couldnt do it. Then I bought some plain and mixed it with my protein shake and it made the whole shake nasty so i gave up on the greek yogurt.

    I can only eat one kind of sweet greek yogurt - Chobani Strawberry Banana and I always add extra bananas or strawberries to cut the tangy taste.

    However I have always LOVED Tzatziki sauce, you know - gyro sauce - with grilled chicken. I used to eat that before I ever started watching calories. I didn't even realize it was made with greek yogurt until a friend gave me the recipe.
