Veggies

I put 10 asparagus in a small skillet, topped with a cup of fresh spinach, add a tiny bit of water to the pan, then crack an egg on top, season, put on a lid and turn the heat down to medium, cook til egg done 4-5 minutes. Yum. I also love to bake sweet potatoes, then when I am cooking salmon or steak, I slice the potato and throw it in the skilled to brown it some. I also like to add halved or shredded brussel sprouts.

I have a hard time with veggies also. But a sweet potato topped with salsa and lettuce is pretty good ; a haas avocado filled with tuna ; Sauteed spinach in scrambled egg whites. Kale, apple, yogurt smoothie.

Guacamole eaten with bell peppers and carrots raw instead of chips

Roasted anything, but especially Brussel sprouts with olive oil and some salt and pepper

Portobello mushrooms stuffed with beans, spinach, some spices (I love chipotle powder) and a little Parmesan and possibly topped with lemon avocado sauce

Bell peppers stuffed with spiced lentils

Chili or other soups

Chop peppers or mushrooms and add to pasta dishes (it's nice if you sautée a bit first, but good no matter what)

Caprese salad

Tomato cucumber salad

Cucumber on its own or with a little salt and pepper

Zucchini sautéed or roasted

Celery and peanut butter

If you just add a little veggies to things you normally eat, pretty soon you'll be eating a ton! I tend to prepare my veggies in a very simple way.

I love broccoli, but I know what you mean. Gotta change it up sometimes. For other greens, I love green beans, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, and kale. Steam or sautee in olive oil and season (granted, sautee Brussel Sprouts takes a bit longer so I sometimes prefer to bake them in my toaster oven, too). For non-greens, I love tomatoes, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, and onions. Those sauteed are delicious, too!

Sometimes I like fresh veggies grilled or broiled because of flavor and texture. If you want to keep things easy, buy something like a Foreman Grill or panini press

- Roasted Brussels sprouts, toss in olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic powder, roast in oven 375 for 20+ minutes. I sometimes like to toss in balsamic vinegar after they are out of the oven too.
- Grilled eggplant, slice eggplant into thick "steaks", same seasonings as above, place on preheated grill & grill about 5 minutes per side.
- Sauted zucchini, slice yellow & green zucchini in half long ways, slice into half moons, heat olive oil in pan, saute over medium high heat with same seasonings and some halved cherry tomatoes and diced yellow onion for about 8-10 minutes until starting to soften and brown.
- Asparagus, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper & garlic powder. Saute over medium high heat 8-10 minutes, than squeeze in juice of half a lemon, cover with lid and let steam an additional minute or two.
