The thread title makes me think of the episode of "Cheers" where Woody makes a commercial for Veggie-Boy.

Alton Brown's grilled brussel sprouts are good. Using the sauce and roasting them in the over works just as good. I prefer them very well done.

No. They are awful vile inclusions into our food chain that are designed by God to taunt us.
The only one of them I will eat is broccoli and that's when it's part of the General Tso's I ordered and they throw a piece or two in for........ I don't know the appearance that you are eating something healthy.

My doctor poo-poo'd the juicing option saying the fiber was lost when juicing. You're getting some vitamins from juicing but the fiber, i was told, is most important in terms of blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, anti-cancer properties, etc. It regulates the digestive system and reduces hunger and over eating. Nothing bad about juice obviously but keeping the fiber in there is most beneficial. With the blendtec I'm actually eating whole, raw, plain vegetables and they're delicious as opposed to steaming or sauteing then and adding butter, salt and whatever else to make them palatable. You are right on when you say add some watermelon or an apple or something sweet and it makes those concoctions pretty damn tasty.

Just like every time a bell rings an angels gets its wings, every time you eat a cruciferous vegetable a supermodel posts takes naked pics on her cell phone which she inadequately protects from hackers.
There. If that won't motivate you I don't know what will.

Today I had broccoli, carrots, apple, spinach, avocado, pumpkin seeds and the avocado pit with a little bit of unsweetened almond milk and water. It looked like a dark shamrock shake and tasted even better. That alone would be more vegetables than I used to eat in a week. Best $350 i ever spent.

Stuffed cabbage is good the other way I like it is I get a head of cabbage and cut into 8 pieces. Wrap it in bacon, season with pepper. Wrap in aluminum foil with a little olive oil on the bottom closing the foil at top with extra room. Bake of two hours.NutterButter said:

Two words: cauliflower steaks. I prefer to do mine on the grill, but you can roast em.

Also, don't overcook broccoli. It should be cooked but firm. Maybe blanch it, shock in ice water and then drizzle with EVOO, salt and pepper, and grill or sautee for a few minutes.

get a liquid tub of butter like you'd do with lobster and dip your steamed broccoli in that. Booyah.

I chop up cabbage, Brussel sprouts, an onion, sweet and hot peppers and baby sweet carrots. I add minced garlic, salt and olive oil. Toss. I put it in a contraption I have for the grill which is basically a colander wok and put it over a very hot fire. I stir occasionally. What I am going for is a slight char around the edges of the veggies. When I get that I remove, salt to taste, and enjoy a mess of it until I get bloated and farty. I then make thunderous, window rattling gas through the night and take a marvelous, colon cleansed and scrapped dump in the morning. The left overs are great cold. Sometimes I hit it with teriyaki sauce, sometimes not.

Collard Greens and Kale are very different. Collard Greens have to be stewed for several hours in order to not be tough. They are much thicker leaves.

A good kale dish that I eat once every couple weeks and it's healthy for you (not like the reccomendations to slather vegetables in cheese or butter to make them better here)
1 bunch of kale (I use lacinto), washed and chopped including the celery-like stems
4-5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of pink or pinto beans, rinsed
1-2 cups vegetable stock
cumin, curry powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, s&p
Saute the onion, garlic and kale stems in 1 tbsp of olive oil until soft.
Add in the beans, tomatoes and veg stock. Add in the seasonings to taste.
Simmer on med-high until there's just a little liquid left and the kale looks softened enough. You can add more stock if you want.
This is a pretty low-cal dish you can eat as a stew, there's nothing bad in there for you outside of maybe the olive oil. Beans and kale are a great source of protein. And you can eat a pretty good sized bowl of this guilt-free. If you want, you can put it over rice but I usually don't.
