What are your favorite veggies right now?
Right now I am LOVING these sweet mini peppers from my grocery store. You get a big bag and they are red, orange, and yellow. So easy to take around and snack on, perfect for slicing into salads.
I also really like this green mix called Power Greens. It comes in a big bag for only $2.99 and is a mix of baby spinach, baby red and green swiss chard, and baby bok choy. I love having it as a salad with some homemade vinaigrette, or adding it to my blended shakes.

I second that.
Also love spaghetti squash as a sub for pasta.
For salads, I like the spring mix. I add in cucumbers (English, because I'm too lazy to peel) and heart of palm.
I also like brussel spouts and asparagus.
I usually roast my non-salad veggies, except for the spaghetti squash which I microwave since I'm just tossing it with a sauce anyway.

Oops! No spaghetti squash on P1. You CAN peel a zucchini and use the Zuke noodles
My biggest go-tos are cauliflower (for everything) and shredded zucchini in my muffins.
What is ALWAYS in my fridge or on the grocery list: romaine, green onions, celery, mushrooms, bok choy, spinach, cabbage or broccoli slaw, bell peppers, cucumbers,
Other favs: kale chips, rutabaga (mashed or fries)
I stir fry veggies, steam, or roast.
Spinach goes in my breakfast smoothies if I'm not eating a packet w/zucchini muffin. Cauliflower mash or "tater tots", rice.
I hardly ever eat my veggies raw anymore and have to measure to make sure I don't eat too many!

Cauliflower is my fav right now...roasted in the oven w/EVOO and some spices.
Peppers of any color, raw.
Love spinach crisps, but don't make them often because they are labor intensive, but then gone in about 3 seconds!
Tried something new with my broccoli tonight...I sauteed it. It was a really nice break from steamed broccoli. All I had was frozen broccoli, so I thawed it in the microwave. I heated up about a tsp of EVOO, added some minced garlic, then added the broccoli and stir fried it for a few minutes. Added sea salt, some pepper, and a non-salt spice mix. So excited to find a new way to eat broccoli!

Roasted cauliflower, cucumbers, and zucchini. I go through veggie obsessions and these just happen to be them right now. I make sure i mix it up though so my body doesn't get used to what i'm eating.

LOL! I hear you about the zucchini, Ninja Nurse! I had a field day with zucchini when I first started IP back in October--ate it constantly. Then I just hit a wall and haven't been able to eat it since.
I have added it to muffins, per Lisa's suggestion, and I can eat it hidden like that! I want to make try some zucchini "pasta" but I'm not sure I'm ready to venture back into zucchini-land yet.
