  • I buy the green giant steamers and keep a variety in the freezer.

    I put a little olive oil, salt and pepper on it. Put some parchment paper on a cookie sheet and roast it for 10 minutes on 375. It keeps the crunch and trays great.

    You could try other cruciferous vegetables like: cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, and/or Brussels sprouts.

well, you can cover it in cheese...at least in the beginning...and then add less and less cheese so you can stand it...but I'd say try green beans... low sugar, etc...almost as good a broccoli or spinach...always an excellent choice

And garlic.

@slb2u2 i take it this is fresh broccoli... I never tried to bake it! Interesting... I like it!

To answer your question about making broccoli you can steam it, roast it, saute it, stir fry it, put it in soup, purée it...just about anything. If you like cheese try one of the frozen broccoli with cheese sauce steamers. I happen to love broccoli!

I can't stand broccoli, but love zucchini, so intent to incorporate a little in each meal. Try different veggies and find what you like. I use the ziploc steamer bags, and add seasonings like Mrs. Dash chipotle, or even just salt and pepper.

I haven't tried the chipotle seasoning since surgery since spicy food is a bit too much for me right now, but as soon as my tummy lets me I'm so seasoning my food more!

I try and eat veggies everyday...either fresh or frozen. My staples are Spinach, zucchini, green beans, tomatoes, carrots, asparagus, artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Once I hit goal, I've added in starchier veggies like squash, yams, corn, spaghetti squash, etc. I usually just steam them with salt and pepper but will also add a garlic butter sauce or cheese sauce sometimes. I eat some veggies raw with ranch dressing and of course I couldn't have an artichoke without hollandaise sauce!
