    Try steaming your veggies with chicken stock instead of water or if you’re vegetarian spice up the water with some Mrs. Dash or other seasonings.

    Grill portabella mushrooms and eat on a whole grain bun instead of a hamburger. Brush the shroom with garlic and olive oil while grilling. Or marinate it before.

    Make stir fry with a variety of fresh veggies, you can add chicken or shrimp if you wish, use some sweet and sour sauce or another sauce, there are many to choose from in the Asian section of your local grocer.

    try this veggie cobbler. This recipe was Featured on Martha Stewart after she tried some at Aunt Flora’s in Findlay Market here in Cincinnati.
    AUNT FLORA’S SOUL VEGGIE COBBLER

    Makes two 9-inch cobblers

    4 cups chopped collard greens, tough stems removed

    3 tablespoons olive oil

    Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

    2 large ears corn

    4 ribs celery, sliced 1/4-inch thick

    1 teaspoon celery seeds

    2 onions, chopped

    1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

    2 cups broccoli florets

    2 cups chopped carrots

    1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets

    5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    2 teaspoons seasoned salt

    1. Place greens and oil in a small stock pot or Dutch-oven. Add enough water to cover; season with salt and pepper. Cover, set over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; let cook until greens begin to fall apart, about 1 hour. Drain greens and set aside.

    2. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add corn; cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove corn and cut kernels from cob; discard cobs and set aside kernels.

    3. In a large stock pot or Dutch-oven, bring 10 cups water, celery, and celery seeds to a boil over medium heat; let cook for 30 minutes. Remove celery; set aside. Set pot of water aside.

    4. In a medium saute pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to pot with celery seeds along with broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, corn, and greens.

    5. Place pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until broccoli turns a vibrant green color, 2 to 3 minutes. In a medium sauté pan, melt 1/4 cup butter. Remove from heat. Gradually stir flour into melted butter until flour is dissolved and mixtures has thickened; whisk into simmering vegetable mixture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with seasoned salt and pepper, whisk in 1 tablespoon butter, and set aside.

    6. Preheat oven to 375°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; set aside. Lightly dust work surface with flour and roll out 1 piece of dough into a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Repeat process with remaining pieces of dough. Place 1 round of dough in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate; fold overhanging dough inward. Ladle in half of the filling; cover with a second piece of dough and fold overhanging dough inward over the top of the cobbler. Score top in 4 or 5 places with a paring knife. Repeat process with remaining 2 pieces of dough and filling. Generously brush tops with remaining tablespoons of melted butter. Place each cobbler on a prepared baking sheet; bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

    Soup and a salad….

    Saute the hardest veggies (like carrots) in a little olive oil. Add aromatics (like celery, onions, garlic). The chop potatoes into small (1/2 inch) squares, slice up some zuccini or whatever else you have. Add some canned or fresh diced tomotoes – the juice too! If you are still alcking some liquid to cover it – add wine, vegetable or beef stock (no boullion – too much salt!!!) Some salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the hard veggies are tender. If you have fresh (or dry) herbs like parsley, basil, oregano add those at the end. Add some crusty bread and tossed salad and you are good to go!
