Fresh veggies!

I've noticed steamed veggies taste awesome! Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and most other veggies I've had have most of the time been boiled, but if you can steam them, they keep more nutrients than boiled. Try to keep an open mind about them, I know asparagus is an acquired taste, I enjoy it now but at first it was hard to deal with. As long as brussel sprouts are cooked all the way through they are good. I haven't tried egg plant either I don't know how to cook it. XD squash is another good veggie, I like to bake them.

I like to cut up green beans, mushrooms, and onions.. spray a little "pam" on them and sauté them up.. So good and only 100 calories! Also, I cut up strawberries and put them in my yogurt. My all time favorite is cut up tomatoes, cucumbers and onion and shake it up in a container with garlic powder & pepper.. yummmmm!

I've never been an asparagus fan, but over the past year, I've started eating it. I really like it roasted in the oven. Break off the ends, put on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse salt, add pressed or chopped garlic. Cook in the oven.

I love veggies! I'm a big fan of pan frying onions, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes, and then either adding balsamic vinegar or basil, and then topping with goat cheese.

I'm a big fan of asparagus.

It's hard to do it better than pan fried in butter or oil. Though that may not be on everyone's diet. It's pretty good steamed or boiled too.

Some frozen asparagus turns out stringy and squishy when it's cooked. It's supposed to be fairly crisp. If that's your first experience with it don't let that turn you off. Try another brand or get it fresh. Also the smaller shoots tend to be the most tender.

I think it goes pretty well with anything, but steak, asparagus, mashed potatoes and red wine has to be one of the best meals in the world.

I spent most of my life thinking I hated Brussels sprouts because the only ones I'd ever had were frozen steamed ones. I found out a few years ago that I love them roasted. If you have the calories to spare, they're especially good roasted with a little chopped bacon.

Almost any veggie is great roasted. I put mine on a foil-lined cookie sheet and toss with a little salt and about a tablespoon of olive oil, then I roast them for 45 minutes to an hour at 425, stirring a few times so they don't burn. You had add other spices depending on what you're serving them with. For instance, I'm making cauliflower to go with an Indian dish today, so I'm going to put some curry powder on it. A few weeks ago I had some parsnips leftover from another recipe, and I roasted those along with some carrots. I couldn't believe how sweet and nutty and amazing they got.

i sautee them on the stove with a little olive oil or soy sauce, I've seasoned and roasted them in the oven, or steamed them in my rice cooker. Usually I buy the microvave bags/steamer's and just do it that way, they taste just as great. If you cook Okra on the stove or boil it, do not do it more than 3 minutes, it can get slimy.
