Vegetables are yucky.

Green Beans
Brussel Sprouts
mixed Cauliflower, Broccoli, carrots

Summertime:

And also, do you think you are getting enough nutrition if you mainly eat those few vegetables for long term? (not counting protein or carbs, just with regard to vegetable part)

I think I cook zuccini/squash, eggplant, bell peppers, tomatoes a lot because they are easy to wash, cut, and cook, and I won't be tired of the dishes made from them.

But I don't think I'd get enough nutrition from them since I'd be lacking leafy vegetables.

OK well FIRST OF ALL, I don't eat few vegetables. I eat mass quantities of vegetables, all the time, every day.

I eat vegetables that are in season. So right now I have been eating a lot of asparagus. I love salads. I have MANY favorite vegetables. I like to cook them, and eat them.

So my favorite vegetables to cook and eat? Here goes - in semi-alphabetical order.

1. asparagus
arugula (rocket greens)
alfalfa sprouts
artichokes

2. Brussels Sprouts
green beans
beets
Boston lettuce
Broccoli
Broccoli rabe

3. carrots
cabbage - all types
cucumbers
cauliflower
collard greens
celery


4. dandelion greens

5. endive
escarole
eggplant

6. kale

7. lettuce - ALL TYPES
mushrooms - all kinds
mustard greens

8. onions
okra

9. parsnips
peppers - all kinds
peas


10. radishes
radicchio

11. squash - summer
squash - winter - all kinds of squash
spinach

12. turnips
turnip greens
tomatoes

12. water cress

13. zucchini

13. yucca

If I missed anything, I love those too! I'm not counting potatoes or sweet potatoes as a vegetable. I love them.

Zucchini and asparagus marinated and grilled on George. There are nights one of those is my entire dinner.

My best friend and I have bulk cooking weekends every few months and we use a lot of bell peppers (all colors), spinach and kale and leeks (in place of onions, which I am intolerant to) for that. We also make our own salsa, so tomatoes and jalapenos for that.
