Then I'll throw in whatever else I have in the fridge with them, often onions and some kind of leafy green like kale or spinach, these days a lot of broccoli. My favourite beans to combine them with are usually brown lentils or chickpeas.

Also kind of depends on the season as well. Now that fall/winter is coming around, cabbage, squash and rutabaga shoot up the list

CABBAGE! YES! I often forget how much I love this one (even if it makes my intestines sound like Satan moved in).

Delicious boiled or fried and I love it as a steamed "wrap" with brown rice, peanuts, carrots, ginger, bok choy, and whatever else I have laying around.

Haha, yeah cabbage can sometimes have an effect the next day shall we say

But worth the risk imo

My personal favourite way of cooking cabbage is slicing it up in large chunks and baking it in the oven with olive oil and some ground black pepper. So damn good! I could probably eat a whole cabbage to myself like that

That's pretty much what I was trying to describe earlier, haha, except instead of seasoning we just use ground black pepper with olive oil. So good! Cabbage is addictive as hell.

I am going to try a shredded raw butternut squash recipe I found...someone else here told about one version they get at a chain market near them.

It is butternut squash, minced ginger, raw honey, black pepper, raw cranberries, and orange juice.....I can't wait to try it! I will add some walnuts to mine also.

Sorry if this is wrong for this thread....

Take a small mason jar and put in the bottom a layer of hummus or almond butter-cut veggie sticks (for hummus) and put ends into hummus in jar, cover w/lid..or...cut fruit sticks (for almond butter) and put ends into almond butter, cover w/lid-super quick, super portable, super good for you

note: this is not my idea but I use it! It helps when me are on the go or just nice to grab when i need something quick to snack on while watching my favorite rerun-
