I like steaming my fresh veggies. Usually like to squeeze fresh lemon or vinegar on them after wards.
YUM!

You beat me to it! I was gonna say take a bunch of hay and grass and feeding it to a cow then slaughtering it and turning it into a steak. Throw that bad boy on the grill for a few minutes, cover it in hotsauce and eat it.

Sweet Potatoes:

Peel and slice 2 sweet potatoes (or Yams).
Mix with olive oil, rosemary, and parmasean cheese.
Spread out on cookie sheet (with non-stick aluminum foil) and bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes. FANTASTIC





Mint Lentil Soup:



• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 9 cups vegetable broth or water
• 2 1/4 cups brown lentils
• 1/2 cup coarse bulgur
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 cloves garlic -- pressed
• 4 1/2 cups finely diced plum tomatoes
• 2 1/4 teaspoon dried mint
• 2 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups minced fresh parsley
• 1.5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in cooker. Add broth and stir well. Add lentils, bulgur, and red pepper flakes. 

Lock lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 15 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Remove lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
(With the pressure cooker it mentions that it be kept at high pressure. Basically you keep it on high until the top giggles. Then turn it down to about a medium low. It is supposed to giggle about once a minute but that is hard to regulate. A quick release is when you take it off the stove and then pour water over the top for a bit to cool it down. Then you release the pressure by tilting the the giggle thing.)

Stir in garlic, tomatoes, additional tablespoon of olive oil, mint, and salt. Simmer until garlic looses its raw taste, about 2 minutes. At this point, add a bit more mint if you feel it's needed. Blend in parsley and lemon juice. Taste and add more parsley and lemon juice if desired. Serve in large soup bowls.

As others have mentioned on this thread, roasted veggies are delicious! I can't think of a better way to prepare them.

I reckon fresh ginger tastes different to powdered it's pretty strong in that refreshing way, like peppermint (I don't mean it tastes like peppermint, but I feel that same cutting through all the other flavours effect )

and regular potato boiled in water and then peeled and then eat with a bit of salt and margarine or butter.
