Broccoli, I just either steam it or cook it in the microwave. Not too overcooked, I like them firm and served "au natural"
|
Yeah, Loretta, I use tomatoes almost daily in one thing or another.
My favorite vegetable is actually onions. I adore them, though I'd never eat them just by themselves. But they go into almost everything I make. Moonpi, I take your point about chocolate and coffee. It would hold for vanilla, too! |
Mushrooms Oh wait they are not a veggie. Give me most any veggie and I'm happy raw or cooked. except onions, red,green yellow peppers, peas,or eggplant.

Hi there
This is how I fix my fresh beets. Trim the tops off so there is about 2 inches of the stems. Put them in a container big enogh to cover them with water, bring them to a boil, 15 to 20 minutes. The water will turn red. Pour out the water and let the beets cool enough to handle. You can run cold water over them if you like. Remove the skins with your hands and a knife. Then cut them however you want to use them. They are good with just salt, pepper and butter on them. Hopes this helps. CAK44 |

love the beets to...add eggs hard boiled to the beet jucie you have left after you eat the pickeled ones
:D |
My favorite veg is asparagus. I make it roasted.
Just break the stems, they will break at the proper point on their own leaving the tough woody part behind. Put them in a glass pan, drizzle with a bit of oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. I roast them at 350 for about 15 to 20 min, depends on how soft you like them. |
Onions & all colors of bell peppers are some of my old standbys. Someone told me that I didn't know how to cook without onions. It's true. I even like the peas and eggplant. Hubby will eat peas occasionally but relegates the eggplant to area that he won't touch with a 10 foot pole along with every kind of squash. He doesn't know that my mother used to feed him "pumpkin" pies made out of Cushaw squash.

I love Green Beans!
I liked them cooked in butter with some salt! :) |

CAK44 you can do this with canned beet juice. just a rainy-day fun thing to do. |
