    I've been in the same boat recently so I went on a search for new recipes. Here's some links to some recipes I've made lately that I have loved.

    Honey Maple Roasted Carrots

    Oil Free Rainbow Roasted Vegetables

    Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower
    http://www.reneeskitchenadventures.com/2014/11/roasted-garlic-parmesan-cauliflower.html

    Oooo... I am so going to do that carrot recipe in a couple of weeks (I meal plan and grocery shop every 2 weeks). Also like the look of the cauliflower recipe so that will be a keeper as well. The only reason I will skip the oil free vegetable is because I can have vinegar.

    So many awesome new options here! Thank you all so much!

    I love eggplant! Roasted or sautéed! I make a vegetable tower with roasted egg plant, portable mushroom and redpepper with crumbles turkey bacon and low fat cream cheese sprinkled with sliced green onion or chives.

    I love going to the Asian market and getting greens and other things. Sometimes I have to Google items to find out what they are and if I'd like it and is it something I can prepare. The greens I lightly cook with salt and sometimes a little garlic or some type of Asian sauce that fits the flavor profile of my meal. There is so much deliciousness in that market :)

    Brussel sprouts with garlic roasted or cut in half and sauteed. Roasted root veggies. I eat potatoes, sweet and regular, often and just make sure to buy small ones (and weigh them) so the calories stay low. I'm often seen cutting part of a potato off so the weight fits my calories lol. The dog gets those odd pieces.

    My husband and I do a CSA share, which forces you to broaden your veggie horizon pretty quickly. Brussel Sprouts are delicious, carrots/parsnips go very well together, but I find that the parsnips cook a bit faster in the oven. I'd recommend buying one new veggie a week, and finding a healthy recipe for it. That's how I discovered my obsessions with Brussel Sprouts...Summer Squash or zucchini is also delicious roasted, hollow it out like a boat and roast it with seasonings, a bit of tomato sauce ( homemade is the best) and a dash of Parmesan and it's heaven.

    Asparagus spears cut in 3/4 in
    Mushroom halved then sliced
    Onion sliced
    1 Tbsp of butter/ sub olive oil and use 1/2 Tbsp
    Chipotle salsa
    Sauté onions and mushrooms when almost done add asparagus and salsa salt n pepper to taste.
    Great as a side vegetable medley
    Topping on pastas

    One way I like to get my veggies in is through soup:

    Thai Coconut Broccoli and Coriander Soup

    Cream of cauliflower soup (I tweak the recipe and use half of fat and use almond milk)
    http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/cream-of-cauliflower-and-stilton-soup-1241


    Breakfast Salad! I second this. It's truly amazing how good greens, bacon, eggs and balsamic go together. I can eat this for any meal.

    jcsgirl: Thanks for the links. Dinner tonight is going to include roasted garlic parmesan cauliflower.
