Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me. To convert people, I like to serve this simple recipe. Garlic sauteed in olive oil offers a sweet richness, and the lemon juice offers a nice tang.
If you are using fresh broccoli, peel the stalks and dice them before adding to the cooking water.

Zucchini boats stuffed with veggies and bread crumbs. I like to make this for dinner/ lunch, but it can also be made as an appetizer. To do this you can cut the zucchini boats into smaller pieces after they have cooked. You can also substitute vegetables and herbs of your choice in this recipe. You can use cooking spray on the baking pan in place of the olive oil.
The picture is what they look like right before they enter the oven.

Spagetti Squash can be found at your farmer's market from fall into late winter. Easy to prepare, and fun to eat. A small spagetti squash 1.5 to 2 pounds is fine for full dinner serving for one person, a bit bigger 3 pounds or more to serve 2 people.

I serve cooked, pulled Spagetti Squash with my favorite Hearty Vegetarian Tomato Sauce that I often make to go with pasta. On Spagetti Squash you save big on those precious calories when dieting.
