I may have asked this before but I'm going to ask it again. I have a hard
time picking just one.

I do love beans of all kinds. I could eat them every day but I don't
because of the carbs. I eat them less often than I used to. But I do still
eat them once a week. Exception being green and wax beans which I eat
several times a day. Those are Angela's favorites by far so she wants them
often.

I also love beets but don't eat them often either. Nobody else in the house
will eat them. Mostly I get them at salad bars but I do keep a few cans
around just for me.

Used to be peas were a favorite vegetable. I still really like them but
since Angela is allergic to them I don't eat them often either. She did
really like them so I don't like to eat them in front of her. But I do keep
a few cans around. When I make tuna casserole I will put some on my portion
and if my husband is home on his too. But again there is that carb count.

Onions! I tend to keep several kinds and forms on-hand. I put them in
darned near everything! I think not only do they taste good but they are
good for you.

Carrots. Not so much cooked although when my mom does with pot roast they
are very good. I haven't a clue how she does them. She uses the large ones
cut in sticks. She also puts in potatoes and onion soup mix. The carrots
come out with the roast flavor but they are still partially crunchy. I also
like the potatoes in there. Can't say the same about the roast. To me it
is chewy and underdone, but perhaps that is why the carrots come out that
way? I have tried using those and also the baby carrots since those are the
favorite in this house. They always cook to mush even when I wait to put
them in. And they never develop the deep flavor that my mom's do. So
mostly we eat raw carrots here.

Celery. So versatile! I add this to a variety of things and also eat it
raw.

Peppers. I add these to a lot of things too and I love them raw.

Tomatoes. I love these both cooked and raw. Angela is finally deciding
that she likes the raw ones. Still doesn't like them cooked. She was not
pleased when I said I was getting two cases of organic diced from Costco.
They have an upcoming coupon for buy one (case) get one free. I will donate
one case to the food bank. I also found out they are in need of cat food.
Yay! Have been looking for a place to donate that too. Ballerina and Jazzy
are picky eaters and won't eat all of the Wellness brand that I stocked up
on.

Potatoes. Yes they are high in carbs. These are another thing I could eat
every day. But I don't. I quit buying the large bags. When my husband was
home we could usually use one up before it went bad. But now we can't. So
I buy them a few at a time or a small bag of the little pearl ones. Those
cook up quickly and they are very good. And they don't seem to spike me.

So those are probably my favorites. What are yours?

Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, green beans, onions, sweet
potato, tomatoes, peppers, celery, cucumber, radishes and I'll eat
pretty much everything else Not bad for someone who only ate potato,
canned peas and very ripe tomato slices between white bread - and eaten
hours after it was made to let it go soggy, until I was 21....

Thanks! I love radishes but rarely ever eat them because for some odd
reason they give me nightmares.

boiled, mashed, baked, roasted as soup but never as a dessert :-)

: I very much dislike squash.

I, personally love it, but find mos of the , what we call winter
squashes(hard shelled ones) I find are too caraby for me unless I eat a
fairly small portion. spaghetti squash is an exception to this and I can
eat what we call pumpkin in a custard version as a dessert without
harm.

Ohhhhhhh. You're the one! I knew there was a celery hater here. I'll have

Thanks!

the secret to the carrots in the roast is the temp at which you cook them i
always put down a layer of onions then celery then carrots then plop on the
roast, if on the stove bring it to the boil then turn down to just barely
heating to keep it safe, if you don't disturb the carrots and cook slow they
will stay firm and the meat will cook to tender.

will be looking out for that cupon at costco, even with just the two of us,
those won't go wasted, we both love tomatoes cooked, and dh uses them in
sauce, sometimes for a cheat its prepared sauce with a can of diced tomatoes
and some spices.

as to the potatoes, when we get a bag i refused to pay the way to much price
for individuals, we can throw out two thirds of the bag and be evin with the
individuals, but having said that, when the end is coming to the potatoes, i
steam them with the peels on, and they keep for a while longer in the frig,
or i steam them and make into mashed and freez in reasonable, reasonable for
health not want, and then we don't have to buy again until they are on sale.

not to your original question... i love most vegetables so its easier to
tell you what i don't like, bamboo shoots and things like that with a woody
texture, taste is fine but texture not so much, cooked carrots if they are
plain, they reek of a sour dish rag smell if not coated with something so i
can't get them past my nose, and black eyed peas which i have told of
before... pretty much everything else tastes good to me raw or cooked, and
at most is not wonderful but generally edible, Lee

That's the part I don't like at all. Not crunchy enough. I also love the
crunchy center part of lettuce leaves.

Yes. It would be good!

I have a love/hate relationship with the entire bella donna family

i have been instructed to never even TRY eggplant due to family history

peppers

Wendy, i typically start off with a HUGE pot of broth stock

by time i go 'oh, this would be good' i end up with............. well,
it started as soup but is sorta thicker now and i have no more broth,
but i'm not going to add dumplings (whimper, i love dumplings, i would
eat them ALL)

so, i make Stoup

and everyone who has had my Stoup comes back the next day for another
round

TG the huge stock pot contains enough for 2 LARGE bowls for 5 people for
2 nights LOL

recipe? it's the 'clean the fridge out' recipe

i'm glad i love soup/stoup and i don't thicken the broth to a gravy, so
i can't call it stew.......... the contents thicken the stoup for me

It's just the really thin inner parts that I don't use. I don't generally
buy the hearts though unless the whole celery looks bad. I really do prefer
the outer parts.

You need to find a retired neighbour who would love the hearts!

I often buy a 'flat' of whatever is on sale as i get 5 times more than
the individual portions will allow.

We have a couple of 90+ range folks on our street, i split the flat into
3, come out ahead and there is NO waste and the seniors LOVE the 'treat'
that they cannot afford

we have to take care of each other........... too many of us have
forgotten that responsibility.............. i'm on disability, don't go
on about how 'nice it is you can afford that'
