Cabbage, Carrot & Butternut Medley

Simmered, sautéed and seasoned with sesame seeds. Who knew butternut squash had a slightly exotic-exciting side?

 
Cream of the Crop Cabbage

Not wild about cabbage? This is sure to win over the pickiest of veggie eaters. Whenever I have a bit of cream cheese (even just a couple tablespoons), it's the most reliable way to make cabbage one of our favorite veggies.

Red Pepper-Asparagus Sauté

This recipe can easily be adapted to whatever veggies you have on hand, from broccoli and carrots to corn and green beans. The key is a quick olive oil sauté with Adobo seasoning -- a winner in just minutes.

 

 
Stove-top Roasted Carrot, Potato & Celery Medley

These veggies can also be slow-baked in the oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours when making a larger, longer-cooking roast. This stovetop preparation is much quicker and just as tasty.

 

Sweet ‘n Sour Fennel, Red Pepper & Mushrooms

It was only a couple years ago that I discovered how much I enjoy the anise-like flavor of fresh fennel and have enjoyed experimenting with different veggie and seasoning combos. This one can easily be adapted to any veggies you've got on hand, from broccoli to green beans. Go for it!

 

 
Yam-Carrot-Pineapple Veggie Medley

Inspired by a few leftover yams and carrots and yet-another-half-eaten container of canned pineapple, this mix-n-match vegetable side is a version that kids will love—thanks to that sweeter fruit sautéed alongside the beta-carotene-rich veggies.
