Honestly I don't like them much. But I'm trying, especially now that LO is eating. Right now it is easy to eat what I want and give her healthy stuff, but I know we are rapidly approaching the point where she will want whatever I'm eating so I'm going to have to eat healthy too lol. </p> <p>This week at the grocery store I got red and yellow peppers, onion, sugar snap peas, leeks, salad stuff, and frozen peas. And yellow tomatoes, if we're counting those as a vegetable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127314 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:49:13 +0000 jhd 2127314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a mix of fresh &amp; frozen. Our absolute faves are carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, onions, tomatoes, and green beans. But I buy other things too sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127312 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:47:55 +0000 Matcha Latte 2127312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always keep the following on hand and usually have to replenish each week:</p> <p>Ginger<br /> Broccoli<br /> Bell Pepper<br /> Tomato<br /> Cabbage<br /> Napa Cabbage<br /> Potato<br /> Onion<br /> Green onion<br /> Watercress<br /> Red lettuce<br /> Green lettuce<br /> Burdock<br /> Carrots<br /> Spinach<br /> Squash<br /> Avocado<br /> Satsuma imo ( Japanese Sweet Potato)</p> <p>Depending on the season I'll also buy other vegetables as well. But these are our weekly staples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127273 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:04:25 +0000 sera_87 2127273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Carrots, broccoli, potatoes, onions, celery, tomatoes, canned corn, bagged salad, frozen veggie mix, green beans/asparagus (either/or).....I think that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127261 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:49:19 +0000 regberadaisy 2127261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the week but these are in constant rotation: broccoli, green beans, asparagus, cauliflower, peppers, onions, carrots, celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, baby bok Choy, chinese broccoli, assorted asianveg I don't know English name to, edamame, peas, romaine lettuce, cabbage.<br /> In the fall months we eat more squash, in summer more Swiss chard, zucchini and yellow squash, watercress and water spinach. I don't cons mushroom and sweet potato to be vegetables! Is corn considered a vegetable? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127258 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:43:49 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2127258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pretty much have a cooked vegetable and salad with every dinner...so a lot. Currently: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, celery, onion, cauliflower, scallions, beets, white potato, sweet potato, avocado, eggplant, bok choy, jicama, zucchini. I think that's it. We also keep a few things in the freezer- green beans, peas, corn and some kind of mixed veggie pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127254 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:38:52 +0000 sarac 2127254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy (or just keep in the house)</p> <p>lettuce<br /> carrots<br /> peppers<br /> cucumbers<br /> radishes<br /> celery<br /> onions<br /> potatoes<br /> sweet potatoes<br /> broccoli or asparagus or green beans (usually one or two of these)<br /> tomatoes (big or small, depending)</p> <p>always. I always have those things in the house. In the summer we add squash, tons of corn, more tomatoes, avocados, etc. My daughter loves veggies, and I've been trying to cook more with them lately, so we've been loading up. We also eat a lot of fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127231 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:14:49 +0000 shellio 2127231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are pretty good but can always improve. We did find a lot of waste with our CSA, unfortunately. Even the stuff we know how to prepare sometimes didn't get used. So we didn't sign up this year. </p> <p>@Corduroy: The kohlrabi killed us. We got a ton of it. The best thing my husband made with it was a delicious stir fry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127225 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:06:59 +0000 SweetiePie 2127225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, you guys are impressive. I buy hardly any! I eat them, but I don't cook, so we usually get delivery or eat out. I'll get all excited occasionally and buy these fresh veggies and think I'm going to make some great stuff and then they all rot. :bummed: I really want to get my butt into gear though when my LO starts to eat "our" food. So I have about 1.5-2 months I think. Thats my deadline to start cooking and hence buying more fresh veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127214 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:56:34 +0000 yin 2127214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week I bought spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots (2 types), zucchini, cucumber, peppers, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, beets, and kale. I also use frozen veggies and occasionally canned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127177 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:04:25 +0000 Kimberlybee 2127177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are not very creative with our vegetable dishes which I plan to change ASAP! We usually get</p> <p>Brocolli<br /> Cauliflower<br /> Bag of mini carrots<br /> Mushroom<br /> Potatoes<br /> Sweet Potatoes<br /> Baby spinach<br /> Mixed veggie salad bag<br /> Green beans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127172 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:00:49 +0000 JessKas 2127172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the season but this week we got:<br /> Large bag zucchini<br /> 2 containers plum tomatoes<br /> Large container cucumbers<br /> Three bell peppers<br /> Broccoli<br /> Avocados<br /> Sweet potatoes<br /> Brussels sprouts<br /> Cabbage<br /> Salad greens<br /> Spinach<br /> Kale</p> <p>That's for five dinners and lunches during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127167 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:57:42 +0000 Corduroy 2127167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I recently joined a CSA and I can edit what comes in my box (based on what's available). This week I got:</p> <p>Kale<br /> Green garlic<br /> Celery root (my first time) - as LO said "ooohh a big rock"<br /> Kohlrabi (also my first time)<br /> Rainbow Chard<br /> Tomato</p> <p>I'll still buy additional standard veggies at the grocery store but I like that it increases the variety I'm getting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127131 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:07:45 +0000 looch 2127131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cut vegetables for our lunch every week, for 6 portions, we use 3 bell peppers, 2 English cucumbers, a container of grape tomatoes and a 1 pound bag of carrots. I should mix it up more, but my husband does the shopping and I can't really rely on him to pick what looks good, lol.</p> <p>I do an egg bake for breakfast that gets onions and a bunch of brocollini.</p> <p>For dinner, I use a lot of frozen vegetables, like peas, chopped spinach and squash. I would love to use all fresh, but sometimes we just don't eat it and I end up tossing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127126 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:01:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 2127126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really depends on the week, but we eat a veggie-heavy diet. Veggies are a part of every lunch and dinner, sometimes a part of breakfast too.</p> <p>Our favorites and stuff we eat usually on a weekly basis include: </p> <p>avocados<br /> salad (spinach, greens mixes, chard, etc.)<br /> onions<br /> mushrooms<br /> sweet peppers<br /> spicy peppers<br /> broccoli<br /> sweet potatoes<br /> Spaghetti squash<br /> cabbage (Napa and green)</p> <p>Other stuff we really like, but don't eat every week:</p> <p>Fennel<br /> Cauliflower<br /> Asparagus<br /> Brussel sprouts<br /> Baby bok choy<br /> Squash of all kinds</p> <p>We rarely buy frozen or canned veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127125 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:24 +0000 miramira 2127125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For this week we've got:<br /> 100g bag of spinach<br /> Big bag of bell peppers<br /> A head of broccoli<br /> A few carrots<br /> Baking potatoes<br /> Onions<br /> Frozen mixed vegetables</p> <p>I usually like to get some courgette/zucchini as well but DH isn't a fan.</p> <p>Do you like beetroot? You can get it precooked and it's really tasty as a soup, in salads or grated into patties with meat or potato. </p> <p>We got vegetable boxes for a while and, like you say, we ended up with a lot of waste - unidentifiable veggies (and I used to work in a greengrocer so I thought my knowledge was ok!) and a surplus of things that I find hard to eat a lot of like cabbage and turnip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127122 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:56:27 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2127122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: we cook with a lot of red and yellow peppers, and onions too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-types-of-vegetables-do-you-buycookuse-each-week#post-2127113 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 15:48:15 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2127113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like we are pretty good on veggies. We like a lot of good healthy ones and LO is thankfully growing up to follow in our footsteps. For our Sunday shopping trip we bought the following: </p> <p>- head of cauliflower<br /> - 2 stems asparagus<br /> - Bag of mini carrots<br /> - 2 bags mixed salad (mostly romaine although we like spinach too)<br /> - Bag of steamable broccoli and cauliflower<br /> - 2 zucchini and 1 yellow squash for grilling<br /> - Sweet potatoes</p> <p>I would love to get a CSA for all this but I'm afraid they would give me random stuff I wouldn't know how to cook with and it would go to waste. Any other type of veggies we can incorporate that are easy to cook/prepare? We also like acorn squash but not really spaghetti squash. </p>
