How do you like you'r veggies? cooking and spice ideas?

I don't eat vegetables that often, although I do thoroughly enjoy mixed vegetables. Those really taste great.

Wow - that' a hard one! I like fresh or frozen as opposed to canned. Depending on the veggie, I may steam, grill, etc. Some are good with a pat of butter while other taste better with a sauce. But I have to honestly say it depends on the veggie(s) and what I am having with it/them.

Unless I make a zucchini lasagna or an egg-based casserole that calls for asparagus, cauli, or spinach, I usually serve my veggies on the side,with a dash of fresh pepper and a bit of butter. I like to steam them, though oven roasted are great too.

Cauliflower these days especially for the low-carb followers seems to be a substitute for potatoes and recipes call for it in potato salads, "cauli-flied rice", and mashed. Interesting -- I plan on trying some of these recipes.

What's also very tasty is if a recipe calls for asparagus or cauli, you can stream it firt, then marinade it in red wine vinegar (at least 2 TBSP) and add it to the recipe. The red wine vinegar adds excellent flavour.

The only time I appreciated eating raw vegetables was when I was in Japan. They are so fresh that it's hard not to make salad every time and the dressings they have were ooooo. )
