vegtables, I hate them...

[doomey!]

with the exception of peas and roasted foods (fatty though?)
so what can I do to make them more exciting , but keep all the goodness and all that hullabaloo.
I have loads of herbs.

Cunningly disguise them in other dishes such as a veggie lasagne, shepherds/cottage pie or bolognase.

If you like your veg roasted then there's no problem - just use a small amount of olive-oil in the roasting tin and the fat content isn't a problem. Squashes, leeks, courgettes, aubergines, peppers, mushrooms, sweet potatoes are all superb roasted. You could also make your own soups, especially with the addition of some herbs, which would be much healthier and cheaper than bought versions.

how would I make a soup... it might be a silly question, but I have no idea, Im no chef.

[Eve]

Make a stock (or justbuy stock cubes) and chop up veggies of choice and let them soften down in the stock in a pan, season to taste and add herbs of choice then whizz in a blender.

If you want the veggie bits in it then don't use the blender.

Certain veggies add more substance such as potato and you can add cream if you want a creamier if more unhealthy soup. You can also add noodles, pasta, croutons, meat etc...

I do that with pasta and tomatoes...
pasta , two tins of tomatoes, half a bottle of red wine, table spoon of rosemary, knob of butter, tea spoon of chilli, red onion, cook until stodgey... yummy for me anyway.

Drizzle olive oil and runny honey over chopped courgettes, peppers, red onions, broccoli, leaks and mushrooms and roast in the oven, turning half way through cooking making sure all the veg are coated in honey/oil.
You could also add fresh thyme to this and maybe a squeeze of lemon juice.

Cooking vegetables with meat in a stew gives the lovely taste to veg. which just steaming or boiling lacks. There are more calories because of the fat content in the meat though. You can leave it to cool if it's red meat and take off the hardened fat. I find a veg. casserole with beans and sliced smoked sausage another lovely dish.
Eating them raw is healthier in a tossed salad with olive oil dressing: grated carrot, grated celeriac, cucumber etc

Your not alone, my neighbour only eats meat, won't touch veggies of any kind.

[doomey!]

maybe Im your neighbour?? :-O
I swear Im a carnivore.

btw sucess with roasted mushrooms, very yummy!!

[doomey!]

I should add, I lobbed a spoon full off garlic over them while they baked also.
