6packofun Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Well our main snacking veggies are: Carrots Grape and Vine Tomatoes Broccoli Cauliflower Seedless Cucumbers Celery Those go in salads a lot, too, so definitely include greens in that: Spring mix that has baby Romaine in it, baby spinach For veggies that we cook: Broccoli Cauliflower Green Beans Zucchini and Yellow Squash (roasted with potatoes AND our bearded dragon loves these shredded!) POTATOES! (we like corn, but eat that from a can, just occasionally) Herbs that I try to use fresh: Flat leaf parsley Cilantro Basil Veggies I'd like to start having on hand more: Avocados (for their healthy fat, to put on sandwiches and make fresh guacamole) Asparagus (I like it steamed, I've discovered) Sweet Potatoes (It seems like I *should* like this healthy veg, so I'm going to give it a whirl. LOL) Except for the herbs, which is more of a splurge for me sometimes, we have the rest on hand most of the time.

joannqn Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 During the winter: Corn (canned) Peas (frozen) carrots (soup) celery (soup) onion garlic lettuce tomato cucumber broccoli cauliflower potatoes spinach (I'm getting better about adding this to our diet) mushrooms During the summer, we add: fresh corn green beans zucchini leaf lettuce butter lettuce I don't use any fresh herbs. They are so expensive and I can never use it all before it goes bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 spinach lettuce carrots tomatoes cabbage green beans peas carrots broccoli ( I am the only one who eats though). We eat a lot of salads mostly. I will eat more veggies than anyone else in the household. I only really have fresh herbs around in the summer when we have parsley growing that I use to make homemade ranch dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 We eat broccoli almost daily, plus green beans, spinach leaves, and snap peas several days a week. Dinner every night has some form of garlic and onion in it. And we always have carrot sticks and grape or cherry tomatoes for snacking. Those are the most often eaten here. Herbs vary a lot depending on what is for dinner (and who is cooking.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 In the summer, salads and corn on the cob a lot, not so much right now. I use parsley, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, garlic, onion, and pepper a lot. For eating raw, we love bell peppers and cucumbers. And baby carrots. Most often, our favorite cooked vegetables are brussels sprouts (DS1 particularly loves these), broccoli, lima beans, and green beans. Oh, and sweet potatoes and winter squash; the children love those. I put mushrooms in anything I possibly can, and only DS1 doesn't like those. Sometimes peas, occasionally asparagus, sometimes snap peas, occasionally cauliflower. The kids are fairly non-picky, which helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Currently: Butternut Squash from our garden (It should last a few more weeks) Pumpkin (same) Cabbage & Carrots (in cool storage and pickled) Tomatoes I canned (although, that's a fruit, right?) Kale (stored from summer freezer) Spinach (same) I have to buy potatoes as we've already eaten any we stored in the fall. :( I am going to have to work on increasing out output) Frozen strawberries (very very low) Frozen blueberries (very very low) I am out of apples I have frozen and dried herbs I do buy organic apples, celery, garlic, onions, sweet and other potatoes, avocado (love them) as the prices aren't bad. I don't often bother with $ lettuces, peppers, and other summer foods this time of year. When the yummy greens start coming up in April, it's a huge, huge treat for us, and we enjoy them until the first frost.

helena Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Okay I'm starting to feel a little better. :tongue_smilie: I don't know why I do this to myself, but I start telling myself that we're not eating enough veggies.. I get myself all worked up for nothing, as if there's a whole bunch of veggies I'm not acknowledging..:rolleyes: We eat most everything listed here, and many others not yet listed. We live next to an "international market", so we have a great variety available as well. I know I need to do more salads. I also don't use a lot of fresh herbs. I mostly use cilantro, basil, parsley (flat and curly), a little dill.. and a lot of dried Mexican oregano. I think I need to educate myself on cooking with herbs.

CalicoKat Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Veggies depend on the season. Right now they're getting a lot of cabbage and squash. Herbs would be sage, oregano, and basil from my garden this past summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 What - no baby bok choy, or long beans in your crisper?! :svengo: :D The bok choy comes around maybe once a month, and for some reason the long beans never look good to me. They're always discolored and droopy, so I don't buy them as much as I'd like. I need to figure out the best place to buy those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Clearly I made a mistake to answer so soon! I forgot to list my most vital spice/herb: garlic. I am not sure what I would do if I had no garlic. Things taste so boring without it. I also forgot tomatoes. I love tomatoes! In the summer I grow parsley (flat leaf) and usually basil, which I don't use much, but a seedling costs less than a bunch from the grocery store. I am also an eggplant fan and usually have one around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
