My vote is for Rhubarb!! Stewed rhubarb with a bit of stevia and cinnamon is like a dessert. I love it. Or throw it in the oven with a slightly wetted pack of oatmeal on top and call it a crisp- also very good.
Made cinnamon cookies with a packet of crispy cereal and zucchini.
And of course the aforementioned Wildberry zucchini muffins.
I like to make the zucchini into 'apples' before I use it in the baking...
Raw, I really like the peppers and celery because they're so portable and crunchy. Spinach in the chocolate shake really IS great!

Not too bad! Will definitely have again. I also want to try this recipe I found online (but with less oil):
Roasted Rutabaga
Toss 1 large peeled and cubed rutabaga with 3 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast at 425 degrees F until golden and soft, 40 minutes. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar and chopped parsley.

The challenge with rutabaga and roasting is it will take longer than you think and I find will still have some crunch. I usually do mashed. I cook a ton in my pressure cooker, mash and freeze in portions. I micro it or sauté to rehear, adding some stevia if needed. It only takes 5 minutes in a pressure cooker but well over 30 if you boil. I wish it weren't an occasional veggie!

My new found discovery is baked broccoli, cauliflower, and zucchini. Pre-heat oven to Broil Hi or Lo (Doesn't matter). Measure out your veggies and cut to your liking. Place on a lined cookie sheet or in a glass oven bake safe dish. Sprinkle lightly with infused olive oil (I'm currently using Evoolution Tuscan). Bake until squishy. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Great on top of salad or eating plain.
Enjoy!

Rutabaga is not an occasional vegetable on my P1 sheet. It's from two years ago though, has it changed?
I agree it takes a long time to cook, I cut into small cubes, then boil for 40 min. I'm sure you could microwave them too if in a hurry. Good idea to freeze, I will do that. I had my leftover "sweet potato mash" today for lunch and it was so good. Thinking of trying for a pumpkin pie effect with a crumbled, baked apple pie quest bar as topping. I like to bake my quest bar cookies until crunchy, and I was thinking the apple pie flavor would be good crumbled over something.

I was on IP 2 years ago, rutabaga was definitely an "occasional" veggie then, and is now as well...from the P1 sheet dated 6/2014:
OCCASIONAL VEGETABLES – Maximum 4 cups per week – Weigh before cooking
Beans (green and wax), Brussels sprouts, eggplant, heart of palm, rutabaga, snow peas, tomatillo, tomatoes.
I WISH I could have it more often!! I love rutabaga fries, curried rutabaga bisque and using rutabaga in place of potato in my beef stew!

It's super easy!
Take 1 cup cooked rutabaga (Mashed or in chunks), put it in a blender. Add water, vanilla RTD or a blend of the two to thin it out - usually about 1/2 cup works but you can make it whatever consistency you like. Add a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, and a Tbsp of Walden farms pancake syrup. Sometimes I'll use 1/4 tsp of nutmeg instead of the curry powder, but I love curry! Blend it all up, then heat in the microwave! YUMMMM

I bought a jacima a last week, it is still sitting on the counter until I have time to look up a recipe. I love trying new foods! I was surprised my grocer even had them!

I finally found a veggetti at Walmart. The young kids at the check-out had no idea what I was looking for! Several people asked what I was eating in my salad today! Cucumbers!

Don't wait too long, they go bad and you can't tell until you cut into them. Very disappointing when you have your mind set on having it fir your next meal

kay2rn: I'd like to try a veggetti - did you find it by the kitchen gadgets? I hate going to Walmart unless I have to, so I don't want to spend forever looking for it!

They might have them at Bed Bath and Beyond too. At my Walmart, they were at the front right where you leave the check-out. It is a Seen on TV section.

Well darn. I guess I'll have to wait until next week for my next rutabaga recipe.  I checked my sheet again and even though I did IP in 2012, they gave me a sheet that was dated 2011. Good thing I never even tried rutabagas then, I would have gone crazy. Ha. Thanks for the info, I downloaded the new sheet. Your curried rutabaga bisque sounds great, definitely on my list.
