Some veggies I prefer raw. Some I prefer steamed. My new favorite for others is to slice, drizzle with oil and bake in the oven. http://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/common-mistakes/article/how-to-roast-vegetables

Hi there. I used to dislike most veggies. It was due to texture. I discovered that roasting them in the oven with olive oil and salt is amazing. Throw them on a cookie sheet and bake them! Sometimes I'll drizzle balsamic vinegar over them too.
Favs:
Broccoli
Carrots
Brussels sprouts
Cauliflower
Beets
Chickpeas
Asparagus

Try using a bit of seasoning like garlic and try cooking them differently to see what you like. I love mine raw and roasted. But not so much steamed. It just depends. Play around with it and see what you like the most.0

I don't like them either so I mix them. For lunch in have brown rice, ground turkey, beans, and veggies, then mix it with a Greek yogurt sauce my wife makes. Yes all mixed up. You don't notice the veggies and can eat a bunch because I cover the flavour with a healthy sauce.0

Dip! That's how I get my daughter and myself to eat raw ones anyhow. Get plain greek yogurt and stir fresh herbs and/or spices into it, let it sit for an hour or so. Or I make hummus. I also agree roasting is the best! Or if you're making salad, add fruit into it. Like apples, avocado, sunflower seeds with lettuce. Or Blueberries with cucumbers. I actually did avocado, dried unsweetened coconut and pineapple with green lettuce once. It was actually fabulous with a honey balsamic dressing. I like veggies though so I'm just weird. Also add some to every meal makes it so you don't have to eat a whole pile all at dinner 0

I eat a pound of veggies daily!mzjoshonda wrote: »Hate veggies how can I cook them and to like them and eat more often
Stir fry: Cut up onion, kale or swiss chard, sliced mushrooms, yam, cilantro
Place in a cast iron pan with coconut oil or ghee. Add salt.
Cover pan for a few minutes to soften the greens (especially kale), then uncover and stir fry until the greens are crispy/chewy, and add in some sliced garlic, if you like, to the bottom of the pan and cook those a bit, too. Serve with fish or eggs or whatever protein you like.
A chopped salad of radish, tomato, cauliflower, onion, chopped beef, green salsa, avocado.
Cream of Veggie soup: Steam cauliflower and broccoli until tender, puree with a small handful of raw pumpkin seeds, a teaspoon of ghee, garlic and onion powder, salt/pepper.

so eat that...
my primary veg are greens, broccoli, and carrots...you don't have to have piles of elaborate veggies to be healthy. Eat the veggies you like...do some experimentation with different ones and different methods of cooking.0 -
Just to name a few things you could do,
Smoothies
Mix them into healthy foods you enjoy
Seasoning0 -
good job, msjoshonda! your open mind will serve you well.0

Totally agree with others here.
With Brussels Sprouts: cut em' in half, toss them in some olive olive, spice em' up -- and throw them in the oven with some onions and garlic on 350. The loose pieces will get all crispy like chips -- and the second you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle feta cheese over top.0 -
Fat does wonders for improving flavour so be generous with butter, dressings and sauces over vegetables. Curried veg are the best. Try cooking mixed [frozen] veg in milk then thickening to make a cheese sauce with added wholegrain mustard. After a while you will be able to enjoy the vegetables without the added fats.0

Ty everyone sounds real good will try it0

I love sweet peas, corn, and broccoli. I get Steamers because they cook in the micro pretty quick. Broccoli and cheese sauce is my fav, and less than 200 cal a bag, its my entire luch.0
-
Def roast them with olive oil and your favorite spices.0

It takes approximately 3 to 5 times introducing new foods so based on your three (cabbage, okra and broccoli), introduce one new vegetable and cut up small... if you like garlic and other herbs then most of them will take on that nice flavor. As for other greens... cut them smaller and it is all about the flavouring of foods. My step son did not like vegtables either and loves them now and craves them. Continue to combine the one you like with new veggies in the mix. Hope this helps!mzjoshonda wrote: »True but it's not many I like no I love cabbage, okra, and broccoli that's it
