Who else hates vegetables?

most people don't like veggies because they are taught to cook the crap out of them and I personally can't stand frozen or canned.

A great easy way to make veggies a little tastier is to use chicken broth for cooking instead of plain water and rice vinegar is great on veggies too.

My husband hates pretty much all veggies unless I force them on him. I love pretty much all veggies cooked/steamed/raw whatever.

I used to hate cooked vegetables because growing up we always had them out of the can, or out of the freezer. We'd heat them up in the microwave or in a pot of boiling water, and then put on a little salt and some butter.

Now I use them IN other things. When I make pasta, I sautee some fresh veggies (or actually frozen works for this) and put them in the sauce. My favorites for that are mushrooms, green peppers, and spinach. Delicious. Also broccoli and carrots or pretty much anything will work.

I think, by far, my favorite way to eat vegetables is in shish kabob form. I like red onions, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, and peppers and put them all on a stick. You can maranade them in some italian dressing, and maybe add some chicken. Then, put them on the grill. It's so good, especially in the summer.

I love all vegetables as long as they are fresh (I will eat a few frozen) Try lightly brushing your veggies with olive oil, sprinkle on some seasons or just salt and pepper and roast in the oven. Asparagus is awesome roasted. I put chopped garlic in olive oil and let it sit for about 30 minutes then brush it on the asparagus lightly, add salt and pepper and roast on 400 for about 15 minutes. Just before it is done I sprinkle lightly with fresh Parmesan cheese. Delicious!

I am not a vegetable person either,, so i supplement as much as i can with V8 juice,,, it is better than nothing...

Frozen are fresher than the veggies at the grocery store they have been picked shipped and stored. Frozen are picked flash frozen and stored usually with-in 48 hours. Or if you have a local farmers market a lot of them are picked daily. They are the freshest. Yams or sweet potatoes are yummy I boil or bake them put a little butter then add cinnamon or you can even forget the butter. If you use baby carrots they are sweeter than large carrots. I don't put much on my veggies I like the natural flavor. Except for brussel sprouts (gag)

Eat 'em raw! It's better for you! I love a plate of sliced raw veggies and a dollop of hummus for dipping.

MMMMMMM!!!!!

I don't eat many vegetables, well not many cooked vegetables only corn & potatoes. No cooked green veggies though. But I do cook all kinds of veggies for my husband, he loves all of them.

i am a weirdi i cant stand raw vegetables but love them cooked all of them!! YUM!! and i hate all fruit which is really bad, i have enormous texture problems and fobias i love the flavors of all fruits i suck on them but if they touch the back of my tongue i gag. i love the juices but then everyone shakes their finger at me and says thats not as good for me

Ahh. My favorite subject. I too barely tolerated vegetables. My daughter kept telling me, "Roast them." Finally, I listened. :noway: Now I love vegetables. Really. They're one of my favorites. But...big but...I only like them roasted. I spray a little olive oil on them and put them in a 475 oven for 10-15 minutes. 10 or less works for asparagus. Mini peppers, onions, broccoli, etc. are best with a few more minutes. If you roast zucchini (which is still not a favorite! ) 5 minutes or so works well. Season them however you like. Delish.

I actually feel indulgent and extravagant about what I eat. That's a first on any diet. And it's working. When I feel the munchies coming on, I fix myself a big tray of roasted veggies. Honestly, it takes away all the desire for munchies. On the other hand, if I let myself get too hungry and don't have veggies (or fruit...that works too but is a little more calorific), snacks are way too seductive. :grumble:

Give it a try. It works! I had to hear how good roasted veggies were for a year or so before I finally tried fixing them. I'm glad I did! Cheers! :drinker:

Cook your veggies in a frying pan with Salsa or Hummus! Yum!

I need to do that. I'm not a veggie person. At work they want to have a salad lunch day and I'm cringing. :frown:

Grill 'em Put them on kebabs with meat and a heavy dose of spices and you'll love them in no time! Same goes for roasting. Use olive oil or [real] butter on them, lightly brown the edges. Good stuff.

Or try slicing squahes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, or carrots very thin with a mandoline slicer, add a bit of EVOO and sea salt, throw them in the oven and you'll end up with a crispy chip-like veggie. Very good with hummus or pesto. This works well with kale, also. If you bake it it turns into a sort-of chip.

How can anyone say they hate all vegetables? i just don't get it. Vegetables are such a diverse subject, and you can't have a truly healthy diet without them. As you can clearly see, there is a huge range of kinds of vegetables as well as ways to prepare them. Trust me, there's a recipe out there for everyone. For all the vegetable haters: Don't look at it as an old habit or the way you were brought up. Just look at eating vegetables as something that is necessary for health and can actually taste ENJOYABLE if you put in some effort to finding recipes that work for you. I know i would not be able to get through the day without vegetables b.c i rely on them to fill me up without spending most of my calories.
