I eat them raw
Broccoli I might boil a little, but not too much. If I cook them I cook them with my chicken, making a nice stir fry. Without the oil of course, that just makes my soggy.. ![]() |

i'm so lazy....i "drizzle" water on them (we're talking drops here) and nuke 'em for 20-30 seconds (no longer!). it's fast and they're still crispy. i hate overcooked/limp veggies plus boiling 'em sucks out the nutrients.

OMG, you guys a really healthy bunch, nuke them, boil them, steam them!
Jodi's the best - you mean you just defrost them and eat?? And here I expected gourmet recipes Anyways, P funk, I stir-fry mine in oil, olive, but still, trying not to fry lotsa stuff. Someone just gave me an idea - grill them with a drop of olive oil, tried that in a mexican restaurant once... |

you could juice practically any vegetable but you need to experiment coz some combinations may be bitter. Avoid juicing carrots.
You could try: cucumbers , celery, lettuce, spinach, fennel, cabbage, greens etc. You could also try herbs. I mix the pulp back into the juice - makes it healthier. |

Raw, Steam, or Barbeque

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

hey there Snafu, your post abt palm oil got me very careful, and imagine my horror when I noticed the other day that ALL locally roasted nuts I've been eating are "roasted with palm oil"... I though roasting doesnt even involve oil, let alone coconut/palm oil!
