    This question is impossible because I love so many veggies so much! I also love brussel sprouts except I boil them first then cook them like you said. I like them softer.

    I also love broccoli with seasoning on it!

    I guess my mood today would say a HUGE salad with all different veggies in it!

    I'm definitely new to the vegetable thing, having avoided them like the plague my whole life. But I've really been enjoying root vegetables; carrots, potatoes, onions, parsnips, etc.

    Red peppers are one of my favorite...just cut into strips and eaten raw.
    Romaine lettuce is a staple, I really do enjoy salad.

    I love yams. Just bake them in the oven and eat them as they are.

    Potatoes = yum! I do know I should shy away from them as much as I can.
    Broccoli = yum! Raw or steamed (plain)
    Baby Carrots = yum! (if I eat them with hummus)
    Corn = super yum! (boiled)
    Bell Peppers = my favorite ingredient in most of my meals!! Also, good raw with hummus (far less cals than veggie dip)
    Red Onions = great oven roasted
    Mushrooms = love 'em any way I can get 'em!

    As much as I love a wide variety of veggies, I really should eat them more!!! lol

    Sweet Potatoes either baked in the oven or wrapped in foil and cooked in the coals in my chiminea, then with smart balance butter and cinnamon.

    Brussel sprouts with chopped onion coated in olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh pepper. Roasted in the oven at 350 till tender and golden. This is also good for zucchini, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers or a mixture.

    Corn on the cob. Don't even take it out the husk just chuck it in a 400 degree oven and cook for about a half hour.

    Fresh green beans sauteed in olive and garlic.

    Fresh from the garden tomatoes in a vinaigrette with feta.

    I need as many detailed delicious recipes for fixing veggies as possible, as I mainly eat canned or frozen veggies
    (and not enough of them) ... I can fixed stuffed peppers, and that's about it.

    I need to know ways to fix asparagus (have never had) , squash, spinach (have never had) brussel sprouts (have never had), etc

    I am a novice, and please include recipes that include veggies in them too (pasta, rice)

    I don't even eat salads, I don't like lettuce, so cooked veggies are the way to go for me
    the only veggies I like raw are tomatoes (on nachos, lol) and onion, that's about it

    I don't know how to use fresh garlic either

    and thanks!

    most veggies taste good cooked in a pan with a little olive oil and garlic :)
    btw, canned veggies are not great because they are stored in a lot of sodium, but frozen are good because the veggies are usually frozen at the peak where they hold all their nutrition.
    garlic can be used to saute things in a pan... you just chop it up and cook it with the olive oil :)
    i suggest you start with an omelette!!
    cook a bunch of veggies in a pan with olive oil heating (peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach...) and when the veggies have cooked you can add some eggs and a lil cheese and stir it all around! i call mine a veglette because i eat more veggies than egg and i love it. hope this helps a bit!!

    Picking just one is hard!

    My favourite would be broccoli, raw or steamed.

    It really depends on the time of year. In the cooler weather I love squash and brussell sprouts and in the warm weather I love grilled corn on the cob and spinach salads.
