    Asparagus. The thin ones I love raw. If they are a little thick I like to roast them for a few with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.

    I love squash of all kinds. Spaghetti squash I steam in the microwave and then serve like pasta with either a tomato or pesto sauce. Zucchini I love to cut into slices and stir fry in a but of butter or olive oil. Sugar snap peas are amazing raw. I also really, really love potatoes far more than any human being should. I like to bake a few of them and then I can use leftovers to make hash browns. (I really can't get behind the whole "carbs are evil" trend.)

    I like to use up all my leftovers and make creamy vegetable soup with a miso base and tahini.

    Brussels sprouts! Sautéed in olive oil, sprinkled with salt. I have some white truffle salt that I sprinkle on after they're done cooking. I used to make them with bacon, but I don't think I'll be doing that as much as I used to ????

    Recently, red bell peppers! One of few veggies I can eat raw. But it's great sauteed with some olive oil and your favorite spices, in pasta sauce, dipped in a dip, baked, grilled, or even just microwaved with some oil. Simplicity is key for me.

    Asparagus - I rinse it, put it on an oiled pan, sprinkle a VERY LITTLE BIT of olive oil, and then add salt and pepper and a teeny bit of Cajun seasoning. Bake it until it's tender and a nice dark green - delicious!!!

    Any kind of squash cooked pretty much any way possible

    Zucchini/summer squash sauteed - added to eggs for breakfast or pasta sauce and noodles for lunch/dinner

    Butternut squash - roasted, eaten as is or pureed into a soup

    Spaghetti squash - roasted, scooped out and used as alternate for noodles

    Eggplant - oven fried

    I love brussel sprouts! I've never pancooked them but I clean, cut in half, toss with olive oil, garlic salt, maybe cumin, and put in oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. The overcooked leaves are my favorite part! Tonight I did the same with chopped broccoli, orange bell pepper and kale, but only 10 minutes. Amazing. Ate it all with cottage cheese... So yummy..

    Probably spinach. I eat it a lot!

    Mostly I use it in salads, smoothies and scrambled eggs. I also throw a couple of handfuls into soup on the regular.

    I love all veggies!

    Steamed or grilled broccoli, because it's so dang cheap, and always delicious

    steamed or grilled cauliflower

    steamed or grilled zucchini and summer squash, with a little butter salt and pepper

    boiled or roasted brussels sprouts

    fresh green beans sauteed with onion, tomato and olive oil and just a dash of crushed red pepper to give it a kick

    Grilled asparagus with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon (sometimes I wrap a couple spears in strips of bacon before grilling them, omg!)

    Romaine lettuce salad with diced tomato, grated carrot, slivered almonds, cubed avocado and a little thousand island dressing (add grilled chicken to that and you have an awesome full lunch)

    caramelized onion, I could eat a bowl of it plain! But I also like to top a nice rare steak with a big pile of it.

    Hot peas with just a little butter, sat and pepper, either fresh or frozen are both good

    sauteed bell peppers, great plain as a side, or added to omelettes, fajitas or sandwiches

    steamed or grilled baby carrots, with a little butter and a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup over top.

    And can't forget my sweet potatoes! I just stab one with a fork and microwave for 4 min and eat with a spoon with salt and pepper

    All delicious!!
