Favorite vegetable?
For me, it's hard to pick just one. I tend to put onions in just about
everything, either raw or cooked. I buy all different kinds, but for use in raw things like salad, I usually use green ones. White ones are my favorite for cooking. I also like celery in a variety of dishes. And just today I realized how much I missed my peppers. I used to buy them in all colors and eat them every day. But I fell into a pattern of eating just carrots or maybe some celery because I could get them cheap at Costco and they were either already washed and ready to go, or quick to prepare. Just wash the celery and break off the bottom end. Of course if I were to serve this to someone else, I would take the time to cut it up nicely but for me this works just fine. I got a double order of red bell peppers in my box yesterday and I had some for lunch. Boy were they yummy! I know I can get them cheap at Costco too. I just haven't bought them the last few times I was there. |

I like squash..and like you, use onions in allot of things. I use red onions
or Vidalia's in my salads. Red for burgers. Sweet or Spanish in cooked foods. I use green onions in my potato Salad...and Mac Salad. I like peppers...but they don't like me and I taste them all night. Don't laugh but raw carrots give me hiccups....as do saltines...I think it might have something to do with my Hiatal Hernia. I like all kinds of lettuce...and I use cabbage in slaws and soups. I used to eat fried bacon and cabbage ...but the bacon grease comes back at me now I love fresh spinach and steamed spinach with butter on it. Can't eat raw broccoli any more but can eat it steamed. I love steamed Cauliflower with butter. I'm sure there is more out there I like but my mind is kind of mushy tonight Jacquie "Julie Bove" > wrote in message ... > For me, it's hard to pick just one.

My neighbor grew Brussel Sprouts...she always shared. We lived on farm property and my neighbor's husband worked on the farm(she always called him Mr. Bridges) We always received gifts of whatever was being harvested at the time. I noticed that the farm is now a bed and breakfast...we lived there 36 years ago...jeesh it just seems like yesterday |

I have to do it in the clear. I'll try to remember. Can says a 30 gm serving contains 19 net grams of carbs. Ingredients: Green peas, Wheat flour, Glucose, Sugar, Palm oil, Wasabi (really horseradish), stuff. Wonder if I could marinate edamame in straight wasbi water, then roast them for a lower carb version? The wasabi is sure there. Brief mouthburn, runny nose, eyes tearing, sweaty forehead, tingling scalp. Perfect! -- Nick, KI6VAV.

Try growing the sugar snaps that you eat pod and all. The high fiber pod keepd the carbs down very nicely. I like to just eat them plain, raw or put a few in a salad. Be careful to string them.

Not so gret for us adults, but y infant graddaughter loves > them really soft and mushed up. she is 7 months old:-) Those were my favorite food as a baby. And as a child I LOVED canned peas. We only ever had canned or fresh vegetables in our house. We did have a garden and during the summer we did have fresh ones. I could have eaten peas every day. My poor brother HATED peas and to this day still does. He was in the hospital a lot and once they served him peas. He protested and my grandma boasted that she could get him to eat them. She hid the peas in the mashed potatoes and had him take a bite. Bet she never did THAT again! After that, he was wary of any and all mashed potatoes. |

They taste similar to canned peas which of course are nothing like frozen peas in texture or taste. |

For just plain eating, I like broccoli, cauliflower and green beans. However, for adding flavor to dishes, I use lots of onion and garlic, and peppers. No veggie is off limits though--I like them all. However, I must eat my carrots raw--cooked ones spike me--and limit the amount of corn and peas I eat for the same reason.
