Eating it raw - I tossed with lime juice and chili powder or with a little oil, stevia and cinnamon. You can also make jicama slaw or just throw it in salad.
Following, veggies seem to be the one thing I have trouble with. I tend to just roast them all or eat a pickle Jicama fries sound interesting...the last time I had one I didn't really like the raw crunch, but roasted makes everything better!
What about other veggies like bok choy? I wonder if all of these vegetables are good in a stir fry? I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere but these forums are so vast you can't just search "Vegetable recipes" and get less than 12,000 responses

Baby bok choy were a favorite in P1/2 for me - always in a stir fry but added at the very last minute to mainly wilt slightly. Anything with soysauce (in my case Bragg's Aminos), 5 spice powder, & or Frank's Hot sauce (esp. Chili & Lime). I think I had a stirfry for 1 meal every day, lol. But I used to eat that way before the diet... just with much more basmati & brown rice, lol.
Jicama with cinnamon & stevia is kinda like a piece of crunchy apple with cinnamon - if you feel the need for fruit. Also don't forget rhubarb!!! P1 compliant fruit, how can ya not like that?!

Ditto Liana's use of bok choy. Frying pan with some EVOO, some garlic powder (be careful to get one that doesn't have other spices mixed in) some chili powder and some ginger powder. Toss in 1/2 c mushrooms and brown, then add 1/2 c red bell pepper finely sliced ( so it looks like more) and then add 1c bok choy leaves and stems (I cut these diagonally so you get a good balance) and turn until lightly wilted.
Seriously yummy. The only drawback to the spices is that you may hold water til the next day because of the sodium content.
Rhubarb is great in the IP jello, btw. Makes a super light lunch on days when you just don't fancy cooking or aren't hungry enough to want a "meal".
So the rhubarb counts as part of the veggies for the day? What all do you do with that?
Last night I chopped the turnips up pretty small and made hash browns in a skillet with EVOO, garlic pwdr, ideal salt and pepper....I wanted more!!! Very good!

I stew rhubarb and then add plain gelatin & stevia or red Mio. It makes a nice sweet veggie treat, whip it all up with my stick blender & then put in portion control containers

You guys are seriously awesome. I'm saving this thread. I'm mostly just roasting broccoli and asparagus and I need new ideas! The turnip hashbrowns sound amazing! Can I do that with rutabaga? Cuz that's all I have
Can I post links here? I found this in a google search. I loved Caveman Keto when I was on the high fat ketogenic diet (unfortunately high fat = super stalls and lots of mug cakes for me )
It looks amazing, minus all the oil and the cheese. It uses an egg to bind, which is allowed, correct? I really like hash browns in little chunks so I may try that for breakfast this morning I'm also really interested in trying rutabaga mashed potatoes. The cauliflower ones just aren't doing it for me. Too...cauliflower-y?
I cook rutabaga in my pressure cooker (only 5 minutes!) or boil them until tender, mash it with a little stevia if needed as some are sweet and some can be a little bitter. I used to use brown sugar and butter! Don't miss the butter at all.
I usually cook up a few and portion it out and freeze it for a quick veggie and since it is a limited veggie I can't eat it all in one week. I love it heated up in a frying pan. I find it shrinks by half once cooked and mashed. 2 cups raw is one cup mashed)
I make rutabaga fries too. Usually I parboil first. Hash browns would work for sure, grate it fine for better cooking.
