I'm a big fan of roasting. My current favorite is fennel. It roasts beautifully and really mellows that anise flavor.

I've made fries with rutabaga, celery root and turnip. All are good but all are different. I think the celery root had the best taste but were kind of like bad high school cafeteria fries. In all cases I tossed in egg whites and seasonings.

Thank goodness it's grilling season! I'll also grill any vegetable.

I also mix in roasted mushrooms with ground beef or turkey and season with garlic, soy sauce and parsley to take away some of the hockey puckyness of really lean ground meats that have been made into patties.

Oh, "hi" everybody!

I made this and had it over salad greens and arugula. It was amazing! I used the "sauce" as my dressing. so good!!!

i always steam my veggies

if you oversteam them (by accident) ... do you lose some of the benefit

are mushy over cooked vegetables less beneficial than crisp lightly steamed ones?

no no no ladies you HAVE to try the rutabaga!! its to die for - make fries out of it or cut it up and throw it in some stew for this upcoming winter

This is quite confusing, as I have in my hand the Phase 1 protocol, updated 3/2013. Is mine wrong?

Mine is the 3/2013 sheet, and it is identical to the one Lisa posted.

You guys are good. That's the one. It originally made its way out in Feb but now has 3/2013 on it.

Don't be confused. This is why I wanted the other (incorrect) info corrected (and it was!)

Thanks for sharing this, it sounds really good!

WHEW!!!! Thank you for the clarification!

Bump!

love your thoughts in that first post! Too funny! My mom has always been a HUGE veggie eater and she's also a landscape architect. So needless to say, our front courtyard growing up had kale instead of pretty boxwood hedges and our backyard had lettuce growing all over it. If you found a potted plant, it was most likely cukes or tomatoes. We had a massive composting system as well. So...there wasn't another option for me growing up! I just also chose to eat a lot of pasta with my veggies and a ton of sweets after dinner and that's why i'm here! lol.

Anyway, I understand how you can feel this way about some of the veggies. I think a lot of people have given you great recipes to try but one more I think you'll like is julienned zucchini. Do you have a mandolin? Mine has a little switch to julienne my veggies. Then I sautee my julienned zucchini and top it with some home made tomato sauce. I'll just mash up tomatoes in a sauce pan and fill with herbs/garlic/fresh red peppers. Top with some sort of protein and it's like pasta!

Thanks fr those great ideas--the egg white to make fries sound like just what they need, and same with the hockey pucks, errr lean patties.
