    I love noodle-less lasagna made with thin planks of zucchini and eggplant instead of the noodles, and cutting the ricotta cheese half and half with crumbled firm tofu. Yummy, filling and only about 160 calories

    My very favorite is to roast them with olive oil (brussel sprouts, radishes, bell peppers, squash, onion... yum, all of it!) I also have a recipe for a summer vegetable cobbler I haven't tried yet. It's zucchini, red bell peppers, and onions baked with a biscuit topping. I got it off of the Taste from Home website

    If you have the calories, roasted brussels spouts with sausage or bacon:

    Organic carrots sauteed with onions, broccoli, bell peppers, fresh garlic, and olive oil. Make sure veggies are a little crispy. Yummy!

    Each Friday I love to throw all kinds of leftover vegetables (zucchini, carrots, bell pepper, etc) into a pot, add a lot of Mrs. Dash, mixed herbs, some red pepper flakes, water to cover and let it cook for a couple hours. Easy way to use up all the veggies in the fridge before they go bad.

    Roasted root vegetables (beets, sweet potatoes, carrots, red onion) cooked w/thyme & topped with olive oil and sautéed beet greens. So delicious & incredibly healthy. I think the recipe is on allrecipes.com

    I love a great salad with some kind of weird ingredients, like beets. I find all kinds of interesting recipes on Pintrest for those. Also, I've started making my own dressings so that even a really typical salad seems a bit decadent or exciting. I make this egg white, a huge amount of spinach, mushrooms, garlic, onion, and a little swiss cheese. I make it in a 9" x 9" pan using parchment paper so there's hardly any clean up. Bake it until a toothpick comes out clean... about an hour. Not sure if you can see this recipe but it's my own mishmash of a bunch of others: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/view/195306720234941

    I am also into zucchini pizza boats and cauliflower anything with cheese or nutritional yeast. I tend to follow a lot of vegan recipes since they tend to be lower calorie. I still am officially a meat eater but the vegans are definitely making veggies more amazing than I ever would have imagined. I love roasted cabbage "steaks". Most all of my recipes these days are on Pintrest.

    Thank you all so much, I can't wait to try some of these. I love cauliflower and broccoli baked in the oven with all kinds of spices. Also Zucchini, baked with a little olive oil and garlic and lots of pepper, or dash.

    Cheesy Cauliflower Patties = YUM YUM!

    1 head cauliflower
    2 large eggs
    1/2 c cheddar cheese, grated
    1/2 c panko (found in the bread crumb aisle, healthier option)
    1/2 t cayenne pepper (more of less to taste)
    salt
    olive oil

    Cut cauliflower into florets & cook in boiling water until tender about 10 minutes. Drain. Mash the cauliflower while still warm. Stir cheese, eggs, panko, cayenne & salt to taste.

    Coat the bottom of a griddle or skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Form the cauliflower mixture into patties about 3 inches across. Cook until golden brown & set, about 3 minutes per side. Keep each batch warm in the oven while you cook the rest.


    I don't have the nutritional info on this one, but can put thru recipe builder.
