Vegetable recipes?

Answer 2

You could get a raw foods "cookbook" and try out some of the recipes there.  Jennifer Cornbleet's has very simple recipes that don't need anything more complicated than a knife and a food processor/blender.

Answer 3

I like green beans with small pieces of bacon and sauteed onions it it.

You might try it with a Zesty Italian Dressing

Asaparagus with holandaise sauce

you could always pickle cabbage and carrots its an amazing flavor if done right

Tomato basil, and fresh mozzerlla tossed with extra virgin olive oil.

Spinach and fresh strawberries with a rasperry vingereate..

Tomato and cucumber salad

Six tomatoes, two cucumbers, water cress, a few drops of onion juice, French or mayonnaise dressing, lettuce.

Pare and chop the cucumbers rather fine, mix into it a little chopped water cress, then add a few drops of onion juice.

Peel the tomatoes, cut a slice from the stem end, take out the seeds, and fill vacancies with the cucumber.

Arrange the tomatoes on lettuce leaves, and pour over them either a French or mayonnaise dressing.

Answer 7

if you eat eggs i just made a pretty good pasta, egg, zucchini, onions and garlic dish - baked it. Oh and lots of cheese, monterey jack and parmesan with bread crumbs mixed with parmesan on top. Plain in a way but super good for me. Gotta go eat some now !!!!
