    Mashed cauliflower, so much tastier than mashed potatoes, made with butter and cream of course.

    Bacon wrapped jalapeños.

    Broccoli with butter

    Having an assortment of hot sauces and vinegars is pretty important for me. I can eat the same veg 5 nights in a row without getting palate fatigue by just using a different acid.

    I recently went on a cruise with 2 stops in Mexico. I brought home 5 or 6 new hot sauces. I haven't had a chance to try them all yet. My preference is adding fresh peppers (jalapeños, ceranos and habeñeros mostly) to food, but hot sauces are my second choice and sometimes used in combination like last night with my taco salad.

    Homemade Greek Salad, adjust proportions of the 4 veg depending on your macros. Add lots of crumbled feta and olives. Traditionally all you need for the dressing is the spices and good olive oil. The acidic juices from the tomatoes mix with the oil for the best flavour. If you aren't using much tomato you may need a bit of red wine vinegar.
    Also if you get tired of cheese on your veg, lol, get an Asian flavour using toasted pure sesame oil and a bit of Bragg's or Tamari or soy sauce. Indonesian sauce home made with your own nut butters are good and easy too.

    I like to make a fake-*kitten* tabouleh as well, omitting the bulgar wheat and adding a granny smith apple for a bit of sweetness and a little more tart.

    I did some lovely fresh green beans last night. Blanched for awhile so they wouldn't be too chewy and then pan fried with olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, some garlic powder, and red chili flakes.....Mmm...

    I make a cauliflower broccoli salad. I quickly blanch the veggies in boiling water. I mix with mayo, sour cream and a shot of apple cider vinegar. Then I add bacon bits, sunflower seeds and shredded cheese and a bit of onion. So yum!!
    I melted butter in a baking dish the other night and then added brussel sprouts and thick cut bacon bits and baked it for about half hour.

    Walmart now sells (and fully stocks) riced and mashed cauliflower in the freezer section, as well as bags of just frozen cauliflower. I'm finding these helpful when I'm in a hurry.

    They also have cauliflower tots by Green Giant, but DON'T BE FOOLED!!!! They added a bunch of crap like corn starch so they are almost as carby as the ones made of potato.
