Something that is simple and very yummy, IMO. I take large, raw brussels sprouts and cut the so they are shredded. I then drizzle them with balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, brown mustard and a touch or agave syrup (or honey) and mix it into a slaw.0

Any kind of roasted veggies are absolutely delicious! Pop them in the oven, add a little olive oil and some spices (whatever you like), maybe a little balsamic vinegar. Stir every so often and once they start browning, they're done. I am in love with this stuff: http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Blends/Perfect-Pinch/Perfect-Pinch-Vegetable-Seasoning.aspx It has directions on the label, too!0

For lunch today, I had a small leftover baked sweet potato. I took the skin off, cut it up and sprinkled a little brown sugar over the top. I heated it up and put a Cajun-spiced tilapia fillet on it. Love that sweet/spicy combo! I also had some grape tomatoes on the side.0

Veggies and hummus. Big fat veggie salads with balsamic vinaigrette, olives and goat cheese. I also like bell peppers (usually red, orange or yellow) with some laughing cow light cheese in them.0

My addiction (yes, I crave it ALL the time) is cabbage sliced thin and sauteed in olive oil and a LOT of basil. You can use dried or fresh, but it's a LOT. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy. Mmmmmmm.....0

We are a family of 4 all eating healthy. At the supermarket this week, I got the following veg:
1kg carrots, 2 cauliflowers, 4 broccoli bunches, 1 big bag spinach, 1 big bag kale, 300g sugarsnaps, 300g baby corns, 300g French beans, 150g stringless beans, 500g mushrooms, 400g tomatoes, 1 bag mixed salad leaves, 2 courgettes, 6 red peppers, 15 Brussel sprouts and 4 sweet potatoes.
Each evening I boil or steam a combination of 4 or 5 different ones (no oil, no dressing) and we have with salmon, chicken or turkey breast, trimmed pork loin, tuna steak or omelette. Left over veggies are put into bowls and taken by my husband and I to work for lunch the next day with soup or cold meats.
I also take a red pepper sliced into strips to work each day as a snack. It's just like having a bag of crisps/chips!
I also buy lots of fruit!0 -

I chopped up spinach and put it in my "tuna cakes", very good! I made lunch for the family for tomorrow: panini's with more spinach!0

There is approximately 100-150 grams in a serving of vegetables. Ideally, you'd want to eat 3-5 servings of vegetables.
thanks
i'm definitely falling short of 300 to 500g per day. ill just have to add more carrots/spinach to my meals!0 -
Cabbage, YUM! Sliced cabbage roasted in the oven is soooo good. I have a grill pan and everyday I have grilled squash, zucchini, broccoli and carrots. My hubs can not figure out how I am not completely burned out on them but they are soooo yummy. With a little lemon pepper seasoning and lemon juice squeezed on them. YUM!0

I'm pretty boring with my veggies. I just buy bags of frozen veggies and eat them with salt and pepper, lol.0

I like to boil or steam my broccoli or cauliflower, then add 1 oz of fat free cream cheese or 1/3 less fat cream cheese, and put it in the mixer and blend it up, and add a pinch of salt, so good and my kids love it too!!!0

I like to do a veggie saute for breakfast but could easily be used for lunch. I saute up my favorite veggies and then serve on a pice of toast with a smear of a wedge of laughing cow cheese. Sometimes I have a fried egg over the top of it. Other times, I saute the veggies and then pour a 5.5 oz can of V8 in with it and you have an instant veggie soup.0

KALE CHIPS!!!!
Yellow squash (almost as good for you as legumes)
My new obsession is french cut green beans w/ almonds- not sure why they taste so different to me cut lol.:flowerforyou:0 -
Put veggies on pizza!! The cheese makes even the grossest veggies taste delish! I like to put artichoke, broccoli, and spinach on my pizza (whole wheat crust w/ low sodium cheese).0
