Yesterday I made vegetarian chili with an array of fresh stuff like cilantro and black beans. Today was green beans sautéed in olive oil and garlic.

Jen, Hearts of palm. Yum! If you like that you should try "wild hearts of palm" aka cattails.
Why will this year be different? Are you guys getting new vendors? By the way, it never hurts to ask the vendors if they will consider growing something. I asked and it just so happened that last year some other people asked as well and I enjoyed fresh organic Lima beans. I don't grow them but I'd like to eat them occasionally.
Kim, I laughed At the picture.
Ahh artichoke, too much work for me. If I have the space I would love to grow them, they are easy, makes pretty flower and shrub.
Today spinach

Heron, thanks for the suggestion. What will be new this year? Actually BUYING veggies at the market again. The past two years I haven't really bought much. I was hoping to get into a CSA this year but the ones I know of have all filled up. Oh well, I'll plan better next year.

Completely understand. I did one a few years ago and loved it (even shared some with my neighbor). Then that vendor actually had to stop farming completely (personal reasons). Really hated to see them go as they were the best vendor at the market (the yummiest veggies).

Carrots yesterday, spinach today.

At a convention all week, so my new veggie options will be limited to what's on the buffets. I did eat a couple of black olives and some cucumber yesterday both of which were first time in March.

Must try jicama. Not sure I have ever had it. hmmm

Don't laugh but does edamame count as a veggie??? I have a bag of them to eat at work tomorrow. The best snack. I prefer them in the pods:)

Tonight was steamed green beans.

peas
brussel sprouts with garlic and onions
cauliflower (raw)
butternut squash
cucumber (raw)
asparagus with blue cheese and oil
corn with garlic
carrots (raw)
red bell peppers stuffed with quinoa
romanesca broccoli (steamed)
spinach in scrambled eggs

Peas

Fun to see all the veggies you guys have been eating! I'm in the process of buying my 1st house so life has been crazy. I still managed to add a couple more veggies: green beans, zuchinni, mushrooms eggplant & BEETS! I loathe beets normally, but they were ok mashed in a patty with beans and other stuff. Decent Veggie burger type thing. Eggplant Parmesan was delicious!

I need to update my form. We're half way through the month folks...and at least in my case, in the hardest part. I've pretty much rotated through my standards. Now to find 10-12 NEW veggies. Yikes.

My veggie challenge has turned into a failure. I realize there is still a week left and I could probably get close to 30 veggies in. Still, it didn't turn out like I had hoped. I might have to do another challenge over the summer, once the local farmers' market opens up.

I'm at 32 different veggies for the month. Where are you? Only a few more days!

That's a great list too RaeAnn! I left off cilantro. I eat it quite frequently. Writing that out, it's amazing how much I incorporate veggies in my day. And how many ways. Sometimes just av ingle veggie like last nights green beans. But usually a mix. ESP when I eat them raw or in a salad. Or soup. Or stir fry.

Oh in Austin the salmon I ordered came with roasted turnips and parsnips. My Bleech and a
blah comments on my list pretty much summed up my impression. First time.
