Fresh Veggie Meals

[MAPPLEBUM]

Anyone have great meals/recipes with fresh veggies? I don't have any dietary restrictions just trying to incorporate more fresh veggies. Here's what I've done:

1) Salad with chicken
2) fresh cabbage wraps
3) squash "spaghetti" (cut strips of yellow squash for "noodles" it's not spaghetti squash)

This salad haunts my dreams: http://www.familyfeedbag.com/2012/04...-dressing.html

Hummus and veggie spears?
Ants on a log?
I made a brown rice/red pepper/cucumber/feta/avocado salad today for lunch, dressed with red wine vinegar. Nom and filling.

Most of the in-season veggies right now (winter squash, hardy greens, root veg) need cooking, so it's kind of hard for me to find inspiration beyond just salads. Sorry.

Ooh, that salad looks awesome. My kids lurve raw broccoli salads.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head besides salads. In the summer we make endless varieties, usually with some sort of marinated meat mixed in or on the side.

Like Alison, this time of year we're all about root veggies and squash. (I'm in love with butternut!)

Here's what I do:

Buy some fresh veggies or your choice. Any type will be fine. Store them appropriately.

Intend on making something healthy and delicious.

See cheese in the fridge on your way to the produce drawer. Grab the cheese.

Repeat this as much as you'd like.

Later on another day, head to the fridge to see what you can make. Glance around a bit. Close the fridge. Open the freezer. See salted caramel gelato. Eat that.

Finally, after about 3 weeks, you decide to look in the crisper at that nice, fresh veg you bought. You discover it is brown, squishy, and leaking a brown ooze.

Give up and go back to freezer.
