I would love some recipes for vegetable stuff, but I'm super picky. I won't eat anything with tomatoes, onions, or peppers in it, or sourcream. I'm willing to try any other vegetable, and I love mushrooms. My favorite vegetables are the ones in Chinese bean curd dishes, but I can't cook worth a damn and have literally set 7 ovens and 11 microwaves on fire. I am able to use an electric skillet. With all those caveats, does anyone have any suggestions for veggie dishes? Simple is good. I also don't like to mix foods together that much.

    saute some broccoli with garlic, and squeeze some lemon juice on it while it's cooking!

    I take diced broccoli, diced asparagus, olive oil & taco seasoning and saute in a skillet. I make veggie tacos from the mix! I also grill any veggie with olive oil and garlic in tin foil on the grill outside. Asparagus is my favorite as well as potatoes. Hope this helps! :)

    You could make a stir fry with broccoli, carrots,mushrooms, and Sweet peas, ( The ones in the pod).Its easy just put about two tablespoons of oil in a sauce pan add some garlic and stir the vegetables for a few minutes. After its been cooking for a while add some soy sauce and its done

    I really like spaghetti squash. You just cut it in half, take the seeds out, stab a few holes in it and put it upside down in a pan with a little bit of water, and cook it in the oven or microwave. When done just put garlic and butter on it, or whatever spices you like. It is delicious and I am ready for some again soon.

    When avoiding wheat products I cut aubergine lengthways in thin(ish) slices, brush with olive oil and top with tuna, mushrooms and tomatoes, top with cheese and bake in the oven on a rack to avoid it going soggy. A sort of veggie style pizza.

    Try oven roasting butternut squash or sweet potatoes with olive oi, salt and pepper to taste or cumin, chilli or cayenne pepper for a bit more of a bite. Takes about 40 minutes depending on size of chunks but very simple and tasty. And sweet potatoes have loads of vitamins and are a rich source of minerals. As well as vitamin A and C, you'll find iron, copper, manganese, vitamin E, vitamin B6. Sweet potatoes also contain beta carotene which the body can convert into vitamin A. :-)

    Good ideas! I also heard when the vegies are cooking, just add a dash of brown sugar. I tried in on my brocolli, which I already eat, and it was good.
