What is your favorite way to prepare vegetables?

Olive oil spray, seasonings, roast.

Roasted, raw.

Let me count the ways: roasted, steamed with garlic, baked if it's something large like eggplant or spaghetti squash, blanched so they retain crispness, and just plain old raw. I also like tossing a bit of spinach, fresh or frozen into a protein shake.

Saute with olive oil and garlic, add a bit of chopped jalapeno pepper, love it cooked hot and quick! Early on after bypass, my pouch tolerated soft steamed veges, but now 8 months out, any way I want to fix them that is healthy.

I love love love vegetables pretty much every way you can make them. I don't use canned vegetables ever. I use frozen or fresh veggies multiple times a day.

Roasted, sautéed, steamed, grilled and raw. Yummo!

Tonight I made one of my fave Weight Watchers recipes, Brussels sprouts sautéed with garlic and caramelized onions, with some balsamic vinegar added at the end. Mmmmmmm.

I also like to roast all sorts of veggies in the oven with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and whole cloves of garlic.

I make Greek style green Beans with garlic and tomatoes.

Hmmm... apparently I like garlic.

i actually found great recipes on Pintrest (actually, my bestie did)...

look up Spaghetti Squash with cashew "sauce" (to die for!)

Zucchini spaghetti wtih Avocado pesto

I also love juicing, so as soon as i'm about a week to 2 weeks post op (im only 2 days post op now), i'm going to start juicing again. Baby carrots juice so sweet, so I usually use that as a base
