I had Kale tonight for supper for the first time and I will definately be purchasing it again. I just fried it up with a little olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice and vinegar.

I tried the turnip fries the other night and I have to say I was not impressed. I am sure it had something to do with the seasoning blend that I used. What have you tried that you really liked.

Kale was the first one to surprise me as well! I stir-fried it with some curried tofu & it remained crisp & was delicious!

Leeks were another. (for one I had no idea they were basically onions until my grocery basket started smelling like onions, lol) But they are a bit sweeter. Love them!

Carrots never surprised me...they look delicious. But I just have to give them a shout-out. they`re awesome.

Cauliflower!! I have always hated it. But I put it in a baggie (or a big bowl with a lid)with a little olive oil, garlic powder, and chili powder and roast it in the oven (I think I got this recipe off one of the recipe threads). Then I dip it in WF ranch or WF bacon and ranch. Love it.

Also the turnip fries, I put in a baggie (or a bowl with a lid) with a little olive oil, garlic powder and onion powder then roast them in oven. I have not been able to get them very crispy, but I still think they are delicious.

I like a big variety of veggies, but the ones I didn't really eat before are cauliflower, turnips, and brussel sprouts, all seasoned well and roasted, YUMMY!!!

Kale chips are the best! Rip the kale into bite-size "chips," drizzle or toss with salt and olive oil, bake at 350 for 15ish minutes and you have a nice, crisp alternative to chips!

rapini was a first for me.....blanched it and drained it then chopped into bite size pieces.....heat some olive oil, chili pepper flakes and 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped....toss in the rapini to heat and coat......yummy.....the rutabega fries don't get super crispy but they are very yummy....however trying it with turnip was a disaster - soggy!

kohlrabi. kind of a lot of work, but really good once it's cooked. tastes like broccoli stems.

Kale chips (made with a little bit of vinegar and salt) are one of my fav's and Fennel salad is also a good veggie that I never had before IP.

I had kale before but am eating a lot more of it. I add some onion powder and it reminds me of Lay's Sour Cream and Onion.

I am really enjoying Mustard Greens, too. One of my repeats is a quick sauté with garlic and baby portobello, some Bragg's Liquid Amino, and served with the IP Mushroom Soup as a sauce.

Asparagus is heavy in the rotation, too. Basically everything gets a quick sauté with a small amount of grape seed oil, B'sLA.

I tried Red Dandelion but it was too bitter for me.

Ditto-love, love, love Kale Chips just like this! Never even knew what Kale was before!

I also really like Turnip Fries--I use salt and an herb/garlic seasoning and well, YUMMY! Never ate turnips before either.

Otherwise, I've always been a good veggie eater (well, except brussel sprouts).

rhubarb....
cut up into bite size chunks, cover and microwave on 70% until it gets a bit mushy (that apple pie filling consistency)

Make a batch of vanilla pudding and pour over the top...add some cinnamon and nutmeg...eat it warm...heavenly! and its unrestricted!!

I've always been into pretty much any veggie, the greener, the better. I had bok choy years ago and didn't like it, don't remember why though. I bought some baby bok choy and added it to a veggie soup...wow, it was awesome! So tender and so tasty. I'm trying it in a "stir fry" this evening with some napa cabbage, mushrooms, kale, zucchini, bean sprouts, Braggs, no fat chicken broth, onion and garlic.

Has anyone tried collard greens? I love them! They're a lot like kale but a bit more bitter so I cook them with vinegar and let them simmer longer. They're great with a little sea salt and curry.

My next experiment is going to be dandelion greens mixed with mustard greens. Wish me luck!
