Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I have a question: I'm all saladed out! I'm trying to think of some good green veggies stuff to eat. I could only think of spinach, broccolli, and green beans. Anyone have any other ideas? Hi Donna, My mom liked some of the products I had her try like Boca's veggie lasagna. I haven't fixed the porties for her yet. Write with red. Paint with blue. Create magenta. Form ideas. Draw phrases.

Zucchini, peas, cucumbers, artichokes, herbs, avocados, kiwis, arugula, green sweet peppers, green cabbage, brussels srpouts, celery, okra, seaweed... I'm sure there are more!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Kale! I put it on everything...veggie burgers, tempeh sandwiches, wraps It's also good braised with some garlic and mushrooms (also add some broth and potatos to it for one of my favorite recipes!)

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 It is a little rough and is somewhat bitter (which I like in contrast to the mustard, Katchup, pickles or whatever) but it has a full flavor unlike lettuces. I also put spinach on them with the Kale. --- PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: > oh how awesome Melissa. > Now that is a green I have been meaning to try > fresh. you man you put it on your burgers raw? > What is the taste comparable to?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 You mean for cold, or for cooked? I have never eaten the artichoke other than marinated in oil and vinegar. I am going to try it cooked and eating it off of the leaf like peeps talk about. Do you like asparagus? yummy. just heat it in a pan in some margarine, add a touch of garlic powder salt and black pepper. I know it's not green, but wax beans (yellow) are a great variation from the green bean. For cold have you done broccoli, carrot, peppers, cucumbers, BELGIAN ENDIVE, dipped in a dip? you can do ranch dressing, and look in the files section, there are dips in there. How bout all the greens. I eat them boiled and then I just add a touch of garlic powder and some black pepper and salt. They are all good, the collard, turnip, beet, mustard, kale, chard. Then there are peas. My daughter loves the canned ones, again sautéed in margarine or sesame oil with some garlic powder. you can do pea pods, sautéed in a little oil and some broth and garlic, some soy sauce and sugar, then add a little cornstarch to make the sauce a little thick. My son likes the canned Italian style green beans sautéed in garlic and oil or margarine, then I add bread crumbs and fresh grated parm cheese. Brussels sprouts are great. For a different way to eat them, pull them apart leaf by leaf. Steam leaves or microwave, top with margarine or whatever and seasoning of your choice. Cabbage is great too. In fact, I am going to post a cabbage recipe in a bit ;o) let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything, Hugs, Chanda - J Rouge Wednesday, October 12, 2005 5:41 PM Other green veggies besides salad??

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 A healthier way to do asparagus, too, is to steam it. It cooks up pretty quickly (3-4 mins max) and it's best if it's al dente. Poke it with a fork periodically to check if it's softening. Squeeze on a bit of lemon juice and add salt and pepper. Mmmm... Also, I'm not sure if everyone knows this, but the way to prepare asparagus for cooking is to hold a stalk gently with one end in each hand, near the whitish end of the stalk. Bend the two ends until it snaps in two. It may seem like a lot that snaps off (an inch to 3 or 4 inches) but the part that is too tough to eat is what snaps off. -Craige On 10/13/05, PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote: > Do you like asparagus? yummy. just heat it in a pan in some margarine, add a > touch of garlic powder salt and black pepper.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 right craige, (I still call you craige pronounced craje, sorry old habits die hard) you can use those stalks that you snap off in your compost heap. ) hugs, Chanda - Craige Moore Thursday, October 13, 2005 12:11 PM Re: Other green veggies besides salad??
