    PS:

    To everyone posting peas, those are lentils, not veggies.
    Did you intend to say LEGUMES?

    I LOVE oven roasted zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts or cabbage. That's my absolute, all time favorite. In fact, I'm eating a plate full of oven roasted zucchini as I type this. Tossed the fresh zucchini pieces with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic then roasted until perfection.

    Butternut squash, or really squash of any kind. Also, sweet potato is a great way to mix things up! Try baking one (or microwaving one for 6-8 minutes...they take forever) and then topping it with salsa and plain yogurt instead of sour cream. It's delicious, and something different to mix things up! :)

    This got me thinking for a minute. My favorites are summer or winter squashes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc. Roasted or grilled.

    Broccoli topped with salsa is the only one I eat somewhat regularly. I'm terrible at eating veggies...

    cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, spinach

    I made a simple sweet potato soup last night that's delish

    2 med sweet potatoes cut into cubes (I used 3 small)
    1 large sweet onion
    1 tsp curry powder
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1/2 cup half and half cream
    1 tblsp unsalted butter
    1 carton of low sodium veg or chicken broth

    saute the onions with the spices in the butter until soft, add broth and sweet potatoes cook until potatoes are tender - blend and add 1/2 cup of half and half cream - low cal, quick, easy and tasty - the recipe say it serves 6 but I made 4 servings for my work lunches this week. I put a dollop of plain greek yogurt on top after I heated it up at lunch it was great an has protein!

    Parsnips are usually my favourite. I loooooove spicy parsnip soup, but I would happily just eat it all day every day if given a chance, so I have to restrain myself!

    I'm also partial to butternut squash in some forms. It's fabulous if it's roasted with paprika, then blended into a soup. Again though, I have to be careful not to overdo it!

    On a more day-to-day basis, I'm very partial to doing stir fries with sweet pointed peppers (typically Ramiro), along with white onions and mushrooms. Lots of flexibility, and works with many different sauces/spices.

    Kale (sauteed or as chips), mini sweet peppers (grilled with olive oil and garlic or raw), sugar snap peas, lemon cucumbers, and raw kohlrabi. I love to make kebabs of fresh veggies, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic, salt, and black pepper, and throw on the grill. I also love spaghetti squash with meat sauce as a main dish.

    Spinach, romaine, peppers, carrots, cabbage, avocados, green beans, sugar snap peas, celery, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, mushrooms, asparagus... pretty much all of them. I know some of these are botanically considered fruit, but still!

    I like the way broccoli and cauliflower taste, but don't eat them much because they make my stomach hurt.

    Have you ever tried celeriac? Makes a great low-carb, low-glycemic sub for potatoes.

    You peel it, cut into cubes, boil til soft (about 10mins), then blend or mash with whatever seasonings you like. You can even add veg stock or almond milk to thin it out into a soup.

    Delish, and never gets the attention it deserves!
