Vegetables
My favourite vegetables are eggplant, potatoes and sweet potato. My boyfriend is not an eggplant fan so I'm always ordering it at restaurants. I am not a fan of brussel sprouts, squash, cucumber or peas.
I don't eat enough vegetables. 5 serves a day? You have to be kidding. Sometimes to boost my intake I chop up a lot of carrot, celery and capsicum, and buy some fresh houmus to snack on throughout the week.
I like soup, salads, vege mashes. I never cook just 3 random veges to go with a meal, in fact I wouldn't know how long to boil most veges. I also recommend making vege skewers for bbqs, and ordering plenty of vegetarian pizza for a group - people do like it :).
Some recent vegetable successes:
Carrot and orange soup - fry onion, garlic, potato and carrot, then add chicken stock and orange juice.
Salad to go with Lamb - grill sliced zucchini, add crushed garlic, crumbled feta, mint, and dress with red wine vinegar & olive oil.
