I am feeling inspired to put a bit more effort into my veggies now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84892 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 07:33:15 +0000 looch 84892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have the oven on, I roast veggies too. Sometimes I get fancy and toss them with breadcrumbs and parmesan, sometimes just plain with olive oil and salt.</p> <p>I get in food ruts, I was just saying to my husband that our veggie side dishes are getting boring. I need to do corn salsa again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84860 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 06:34:01 +0000 Ardently 84860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I throw a couple of cans of great northern beans, tomato sauce, and some frozen spinach in to a pot and cook it for twenty minutes or so, then serve it with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese on top. It's yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84714 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 22:06:26 +0000 skibobrown 84714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also on the roasting bandwagon. I roast all kinds of veggies. Just toss w/ olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning of choice. Roasting seals in the flavor, whereas I find steamed or boiled veggies to be really bland. </p> <p>I'm also a big fan of sauteed kale, but DH hates it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84627 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:08:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 84627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We roast veggies a lot - roast them on foil and clean up is a snap. </p> <p>We also quick cook up green beans in a very hot pan with a little olive oil, s&amp;p and red pepper flakes. They get a little crispy on the outside and are nice and spicy.</p> <p>We also try to make salads with a variety of mixed greens, especially dark greens. Kale, spinach, bok choi, mustard greens, baby winter greens, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84616 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:05:58 +0000 yin 84616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also love to roast vegetables. It's super easy and always taste so yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84600 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 21:01:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 84600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually just steam, grill or saute vegetables, add a tiny bit of salt/pepper and some garlic. Our usual veggies are asparagus, sweet potatoes, baby spinach, broccoli, bok choi, and green beans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84589 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:54:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 84589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh-- whenever we grill steaks, I season asparagus with salt and pepper and olive oil, and Rob Sr. will throw them on the grill and pour the juices from the steaks over them, and they're DELICIOUS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84571 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:50:19 +0000 heffalump 84571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm... kale!

Ooh. Or I'll make green beans! (butter, garlic, salt, greenbeans! easy!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84306 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:34:16 +0000 Andrea 84306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: true! usually i am too lazy to even do that, though. haha, i do it every once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84303 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:33:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 84303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do the steamfresh frozen veggies too... especially now that they come in all different varieties and lightly sauced as well. But I do like to saute french beans with butter, a little olive oil, and throw in some sliced almonds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84300 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:33:05 +0000 hilsy85 84300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The easiest and fastest way we prepare veggies is usually just to roast them! You can take almost any veggie--carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, asaparagus, squash, etc, toss it in some olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast it for 30-40 minutes. Super easy, and no recipe required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-vegetable-side-dishes#post-84292 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 19:30:25 +0000 Andrea 84292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am usually too lazy to make vegetable side dishes and end up just having some steamed frozen veggies. I want to make more veggie dishes though. I made this kale recipe last week. It was easy and good:</p> <p><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/greens-with-cannellini-beans-and-pancetta/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/greens-with-cannellini-beans-and-pancetta/</a></p> <p>Share your recipes please! </p>
