How about vegies raw ...

(blance the brocolli and cauliflower for 2 minutes)

Cut in bite size protions and make some creamcheese (naugty-naugty) dip. I love that with some cold meats and pasta salad. And no, it's not just for summer. Roast leg-o-lam goes great with it too.

Butter sauteed sugar snap peas and carrots, with salt and pepper are yummy and only need a few minutes pan fried.
Mashed tato with butter, soour cream and bacon!
Baked potatoes - sour cream, bacon, chives, coleslaw
Tomatoes cut into half or thirds - stacked. Fill with feta cheese and pesto mixed together and baked for about 10 mins - topped with parmesan..mmmmmm I miss my feta when pg.
Slices - like zucchini and carrot slice.
Mmm can't think of any more right now - back later!

*Carrots with honey and sesame seeds, I also add broccolini, zucchini and asparagus, yummo! (Stir fried)
*Baby beans (fresh not frozen) steamed with a tiny sprinkle of bicarb soda and some butter
*Creamed potatoes- potatoes sliced up placed in a baking dish, layered with sliced onions about 1/2 cup of stock )chicken or vege) and a tub of cream. You can put grated cheese on top if you like. I often use half skim milk and half lite cream (no stock) to lessen the fat instead of a tub of whole cream. But whole cream is yummier! Bake on high until potatoes are cooked.
*Mushrooms with butter- quatered mushies with a dollop of butter and a little oil.
*Vege frittata/omlette- frittata/ommlette mix layered with you favourite veges. I love mushroom, asparagus and tomato omlette sometimes with cheese on top. And pumpkin, sweet potato and potato frittata (I have a recipe if you want it).

Enjoy, HTH!!
