Veggies I like:

Potatoes
Corn
Peas
Carrots
and that's pretty much it.

Is there anything else that you just love?

    Celery is amazing(: &&When you dip the root in egg & breadcrumbs and then fry on a skillet it makes a great low fat replacement for a burger(:

    Ahhhh......sweet potatos.....make them into fries, or buy Alexia sweet potato fries. They can be seasoned with onion and garlic salt, cinnamon, chili powder to make them spicy, whatever you like. They are awesome, and low glycemic index.

    Edamame.......wonderful stuff, nice protein for a veggie.

    Sugar snap peas.......try them raw dipped in hummus.....my favorite is Athenos. They have roasted red pepper and a spicy pepper hummus to die for.

    Snow peas , capsicum, cauliflower, celery - all yummy raw and dipped into hommus.
    Zuccini, carrot - chopped fine or grated and mixed into pasta sauce, burgers etc.
    Mushrooms - pan fried with oil spray and chilli and a splash of wine. Yum!

    If you aren't sure what else you like then look for something that is on special in your supermarket, buy a little bit of it, google a new recipe and try it. You might be surprised!

    Everyone likes different things! I'd suggest trying one veggie at a time - Google recipes and make the ones that sound yum... Experimenting with food is fun. And if you don't like it, maybe try it again later in a different recipe.

    My favourites are carrot, onion, capsicum (or bell pepper), mushrooms, broccoli and snow peas in a stir fry. Add a little oyster sauce and a dash of honey. Yummo!!!

    ALL OF THEM!! Eat all the veggies!

    As someone who loves to cook especially for others I have found that many times liking a vegetable is all in the preparation.
    Take asparagus for example had a roommate that "HATED" it was so animate about that he refused to eat it. I cooked a huge meal and made asparagus. I begged for him to try it just one bite off my plate so he didn't even have to commit to a whole peice. After much pleading and threatening to never cook again. He took a bite and then went back for 3 helpings.

    All I did was not cook it to a pulp. Lightly steamed (taken off the heat as SOON as it turned bright green) and then tossed in olive oil, Italian seasoning and lemon pepper and quickly sautéed.

    Same goes for brussel sprouts - broiled with garlic and spices and brushed with olive oil

    Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach (wilted drizzles with a balsamic vinegar reduction)... The list goes on. Find delicious ways to cook them and it will change your life! :)

    Hi , well those are good veggies. Are you bored or just want some new variety? Zuchini is great and lots of different ways to make it. UUmm cucumbers and squash and celery. Celery is really good for you and actually helps burn more cals cuz its harder to digest :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Hope that helps some...
