What is the vegetable that you wouldn't want to do Atkins without? How do you prepare it?

Re: What is the vegetable that...

All the vegetables on the list!! lol
Yeah, I know that's not helpful, but I love all vegetables and always have.
I do really enjoy mashed cauliflower with butter and cheese though.
I like to coat it in olive oil and roast it till it's almost black.
I like zucchini cut into long thin 'noodle' strips and I use that as noodles.
I also like zucchini sliced into very thin rounds and I use those as lasagne noodles.
Mushroomsmushroomsmushrooms!!! Sauteed in garlic, butter and dill!!

I could go on and on and on...

Re: What is the vegetable that...

I love cucumbers, just a touch of salt and yummy!!! I also like mushrooms fried with my steak or burger, they taste so GOOD that way!!! I love iceburg lettuce, so that has been a great friend to me. I also love broccoli with butter and cheese. I want to try that mashed cauliflower, that sounds yummy!!!!! There are lots of great veggies out there, just open your mind and your mouth!!!!

Re: What is the vegetable that...

Oh my god... vegetables... vegetables are the best. Don't get me wrong, I love a good steak, but veggies light up my life.


Favorites are cauliflower, mushrooms, and chile peppers. I love tomatoes to death but I guess they are technically fruits.

Re: What is the vegetable that...

I love all the vegetables but right now I can't get enough asparagus. I coat them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and I wrap bunches in a strip of bacon. I then bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Re: What is the vegetable that...

My mainstays are cauliflower (not mashed, since that's usually too much work for my schedule, but steamed with cheddar cheese and sour cream on top), broccoli, ands squash. But my two new favorites are brussel sprouts drizzled with olive oil and salt and pepper roasted in the oven, and ttdriver's scalloped turnips. YUM!!!!
