New ideas for vegetables??

I drizzle different flavors of low-calorie salad dressing on my veggies. Gives it a punch of flavor.

Newman's Sesame Ginger is one I use a LOT, also, raspberry vinaigrette is yummy.

Steamed veggie's are okay, but after months and months, I needed a change.

I now use a non-stick frying pan, one or two tablespoons of Smart Balance Light and saute them. If the pan gets too dry, I add a little water. I sprinkle a little bit of Weber's Kickin' Chicken seasoning and they're good to go. This works with any frozen or fresh vege and I add some shredded cabbage to bring it all together. Easy and cooks in 5 minutes. Good Luck !!!

How about stir frying them?

Try some stir fry with portabello mushrooms, peppers, fine chopped onions, fresh garlic and Indian masala little bit of olive oil fresh chopped tomatoes, sea salt, chopped turnip, diced fresh carrots and the list goes on. We do it all the time. Add some white basmati rice and your good to go in half an hour. I am vegetarian and I have a lot of recipes that I will be posting on the data base.
You can also stir fry chopped kale and Swiss chard, or bok choi, beat salad, with balsamic vinegar. I never use artificial or ready made dressings. You can also make sliced cellary root with sliced potatoes and carrots, and onions as a caserole. I hope this helps

I LOVE Butternut squash fries (http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/414) and I make a delicious mashed cauliflower!

1 Head of cauliflower
6oz Plain nonfat greek yogurt
Clove or two of garlic, chopped up
2 tbsp Butter (I use light butter)
Salt (or garlic salt)
Pepper

Boil the florets only for about 8-9 minutes. I then throw them in a bowl (or your food processor) with the rest of the ingredients and use my hand blender until everything is smooth and creamy. Salt and pepper to taste.

It's delicious!

Oh this sounds so yummy. I've been doing it without the yoghurt and garlic and loving it, but I'm going to try your version tonight. Thanks

Edamame, yummy! You can use some soy sauce and some sea salt on them but I just put bag in the microwave and then dash some garlic salt on them.

Another really good one is roasted caulifllower. Drizzler oliver oil over a head of caulifloweer with some garlic salt and rosemary (if you have some) and bake at 400 for about 25 minutes or until it browns.

Another is tomato parmesean. Cut tomato in half, put panko bread crumbs and parm cheese on top of open faced tomato halves, drizzle with a touch of olive oil or spray some PAM for lower cal option and bake tomatos at 375 for 20 minutes. Really yummy!

Roasting is my favorite way to do veggies (unless it's summer and they can kabob-ed and grilled!)
Great roasting combo: eggplant, onion, cherry tomatoes (just add a little olive oil, salt and pepper before cooking)

Stiry fry, bake em in the oven, grill them on the BBQ ... batter them in panko breadcrumbs or a bit of nutritional yeast and fry them... so many great options! My favs to do this with? Broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, eggplant. And can't forget the squash. Oh, and the sweet potatoes. Yum!

Saute in a good olive oil with capers, lemon juice and crushed garlic with a sprinkle of sea salt at the very end. This is really especially good with julienned zucchini and served with thin chicken breast cutlets.....
