They looked so good in the picture that I had to look up the recipe. My son made up a recipe for potato pancakes to which he added grated carrots and apples. Come on, try it! The best thing about a recipe like this is that once everything is mushed together you won’t be able to tell what’s what, so if the vegetables are a little bruisy or whatever, no one will know.

I think if you steam them and then drown them in butter, any veggies (or even, say, pieces of cardboard, for that matter) are yummy. Misterpie also likes to sautee them with butter and some sweetness like some brown sugar or maple syrup for a nice glaze - this is best on carrots or parsnips - YUM.

Can you believe *I* was once a vegetarian, too? For SIX years. I mostly ate a lot of pizza and cuban cheese toast and the occasional salad, Vegetarian FAIL!

But thanks for the butter/lemon idaa. Never considered that—it actually sounds good.

Steam’em and top’em with some grated cheese. Simple and fast. Also, skewered and done on the BBQ are good - try cubes of eggplant, mushroom, peppers, onion, etc until they’re a bit soft (you can brush any sauce on them).

I have made little pancakes with 1c zucchini, 1c carrot, 2/3c potatoes (all grated), a little salt and 2tbsp of flour. They fry up quite nice and are good warm and cold. I got the recipe, simply as it is, from Annabel Karmel’s First Meals book.

I am a semi-vegetarian and have done my fair share of vegetable experimentation.

The good news is that your body absorbs the nutrients in vegetables when they are combined with a fat. Go ranch dressing!

Former vegetarian here.

I once didn’t like vegetables much either. But it’s because I grew up with a mother who thought there were only three — corn, peas and green beans — and that their natural state was in a can. Once I got out on my own and learned to cook . . . and discovered, oh-my-gosh there is such a thing as FRESH vegetables, I learned to select and cook them.

And you know what? You can’t go wrong steaming just about any kind of vegetable and drizzling a little butter and lemon on it. It couldn’t be easier, so start there and expand. It’s a whole new world out there.
