    My favorite thing is roasted cauliflower! I used to hate cauliflower as a child/young adult and now I love it.

    One head of organic cauliflower trimmed and cut into pieces
    Olive oil or black truffle oil
    Sea salt or any corse salt
    Pepper
    Garlic (peeled whole cloves or chopped)
    Carrots, peeled and roughly chopped)
    Parmesan cheese or Veggie cheese (I use soy sprinkles)

    Preheat over to 400
    Line baking sheet with foil
    Spray baking sheet with Pam
    Lightly coat cauliflower, carrots, and garlic in olive oil (keep track of how much you are using and use sparingly, you don't need a whole lot!)
    Roast for 15 minutes or until veggies are soft and brown
    Sprinkle with salt, pepper and cheese to taste


    My favorite lunch which I had today also has a lot of veggies:

    Whole wheat tortilla
    2 Tbsp Hummus
    Carrot sticks (thin strips)
    Pepper strips (thin strips)
    Lettuce
    a few onion pieces
    black olives
    1/4 avacado with sea salt

    Put all those items in a tortilla and it is really good. Approx 250 - 300 calories depending on your tortilla, hummus and avacado!

    Sweet potato pie - thin layer of sweet potatoes on the bottom of the dish, then a heap of spinach, then sprinkle feta all over it. Pour over some creme fraiche with garlic in before adding the final layer of sweet potato. Cook for about 40ish minutes :)

    Also, slices of grilled aubergine topped with tomatoes and mozarella. It's like a healthy pizza slice :)

    Smashed cauliflower. Mmmmmmm! Steam the cauliflower till tender, A whole head. Add a little butter, a little cheese, salt,4 pieces of cooked bacon chopped. Smash till almost not lumpy. No carbs, lots of protein.

    Roasted Asparagus is the one veggie I was never fond of, but love it now.

    I put the Asparagus in a roasting pan, drizzle with coconut oil, sprinkle sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper and throw it in the oven for a bit until it starts to brown..........

    This but, I use a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My son says it's better than chocolate. I don't know about that but, it is very yummy!

    i made a veggie-heavy shepherd's pie last night, using 3:1 cauliflower to potatoes for the topping, and you seriously couldn't tell once it was all baked and browned! i also put some parsnips in it (i had never used them before) and they got creamy and delicious!! here's the link... it was a recipe makeover so i blogged it (713 cals down to 450... and we're talking BIG servings) :drinker:

    I like zucchini boats for lunch.

    Halve a zucchini lengthwise, scrape out seeds (or don't) put spaghetti sauce down the center and top with mozzarella cheese and some basil.

    I usually bake it close to 400 for about 15 minutes. Very yummy!

    My faves are bell peppers and onions cooked in about a quarter tbsp of evoo with some Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning. Served with some black beans or chicken either on salad or in a wrap. :D

    ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS!! Not kidding at all. Slice in half, toss will a little olive oil, salt and pepper, maybe a little Tony's. Roast on 400 for 20 minutes.

    Unbelievably good. I NEVER ate brussels sprouts before...didn't like them at all. Roasting takes away the bitter taste. YUM!
