Thanks,

I make it very similar to Nelie.

I start out sauteing diced onion, diced carrot, diced red, orange, or yellow bell peppers, diced celery in a little oil in a large pot. Then I'll add some crushed fresh garlic, a couple of cans of stewed tomatoes or diced tomatoes. I add a couple of cans of drained black beans. Some cayenne pepper, lots of chili powder, cumin, onion powder and let simmer for a bit.

I most often leave it like that, but have added in cubed chicken. I've also added in Morning Star Farms Veggie crumbles.

Absolutely LOVE beets... hate brussel sprouts!!!

Aww poor brussel sprouts, I love them. They are like baby cabbages.

haha, not a big fan of cabbage either... :-p

HAHA... not a big fan of cabbage either ;)

Wow, there is much vegetable hate here! :lol:

I cannot stand:

Onions. I will not and cannot eat onions. Hate hate hate. I will occasionally, though rarely, use them for seasoning, but I always chop them large enough that they can be removed from the dish.

Cucumbers. I can tolerate them when they are very small and fresh from the garden, but those big baseball bat things from the grocery are simply vile.

Cooked spinach. I love raw spinach and I can eat cooked spinach mixed in with foods. But a big bowl of wet gooey slimey cooked spinach makes me gag.

Okra. Not the taste, the texture. Simey and bumpy. Bleck!

I also have issues with slimey zucchini and eggplant, but like them when prepared properly.

Yeah, I've got a huge issue with texture. ;)

Carrots. Raw, cooked, in sauce, stew, soup - yuk all the way.

I like most veggies but I can't stand ginger root. I bit into a large piece when I was young and it tasted just like a bar of soap. I also hate the texture of zucchini, eggplant, and water chestnuts.

A lot of people hate okra and I can see why, if it's overcooked and slimy. But fresh okra, either raw or gently steamed is crunchy and delicious. Give it a try -- it's a whole different veg.

Definitely Bell Peppers!
:D
My mom swears I used to eat them like candy but I hate them. They seem to over power every dish they are in. Most people think I am nuts when I tell them I hate peppers LOL

Ha- so with you on bell peppers. I am a vegetable nut but they are the only food that makes me burp them the rest of the day. I can eat fresh hot chiles but the bells- NOPE. Love the smell as they are cooking, think I can have a bit and then...regret.

Cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and radishes. (Actually, I probably dislike more than I like!)

not a vegetable..it's a fruit..tomatoes..and olives! i absolutely hate them (but my family loves both)! ugh! i can only have tomatoes in ketchup or sauce form..maybe even sun or oven dried..olives in the form of oil..but not fresh..yuck!!!!! i cannot eat any type of squash or zucchini (cooked or raw on both), they have this nasty aftertaste that i cannot seem to stomach. i made some zucchini pasta with tomato sauce (yes, i also made the sauce from fresh tomatoes, a fully raw vegan meal) a while back to see if it would change my opinion about either, but i still don't like them..aside from that, i am at peace with all veggies..

absolutely LOVE onions though..just like my mother in law..i guess that's how we get along so well! my husband loves garlic, so us stinkers make a perfect match! :love:

For me I would have to say it is a texture thing. I love most vegetables, but I cannot stand:

Okra: Too slimey, tried it raw and did not like it either.
Lima Beans and Peas: Too chalky. No matter how I cook them they seem dry when I bite into them.

I figure since I will eat almost any vegetable and like other types of beans like split peas (go figure I like those in a soup, but not actual green peas), garbonzo, campanelli, kidney etc...that I am okay avoiding those three veggies. :)

Oops, almost forgot to add one more. I love carrots raw, but detest cooked carrots whether they are just steamed or in a stew or casserole. Again, I think it is a texture thing. When I cook carrots for supper, I leave one serving out for me to eat raw and the family enjoys the cooked ones.

I laughed when I saw this thread, here why

I hate, onions, lettence, tomato, celery, all peppers, radish, beets, raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, raw carrots, raw spinach....

maybe it would be easier to say the veggies I do like...
I like corn, peas, green beans, cooked broccoli and cooked cauliflower, cooked spinach, cooked carrots, cooked caggage... thats all I can think of

It really is hard for me to diet sometimes because of this, These are the low cal fillers and I really dont like any of them. Did anyone notice that I dont like ANY salad veggies?
