Looking to branch out. We tend to stick to broccoli, asparagus and brussels sprouts, and of course salad.
What are your favorites and what are the (relatively simple) ways you prepare them? |

Lots of leafy greens. I especially like spinach and Dino kale. I add them to everything. Cut into ribbons and very lightly sauté or add to soups/stir fry/pasta or make into salad.
Also this time of year love a traditional “aioli” - just lots and lots of whatever raw veg looks good plus some sort of dipping sauce. |

Ooohhhhh. I LOVE frozen peas. This time of year, blend cooked peas with some fresh mint, salt, and butter. Delish. |

| During the summer kale, green beans, okra, green peppers, shishito peppers (I am addicted), and spinach. |

| Zucchini. I sauté them, roast them, and make casseroles with them. |

Original PP. Yes. Also other herb combinations. Our parsley and basil are doing really well right now, so it's a lot that. |

Spinach
Celery Asparagus Kale Peas Green beans Okra Lettuce That's all I've really got. I don't eat so of these. I leave towards spinach, kale, and celery more often but going out I get peas and other things. |

| I keep nori sheets around for when I need a little something different. Also snip mustard green into salads. |

| Green beans sautéed in olive oil, garlic, and a dab of butter with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. |

That’s a gourd- a fruit. |

| My favorite is greens sauteed in olive oil with garlic. Spinach and kale are what I eat the most. But you can branch out to collards, mustard, turnip greens, etc. |
