*NEW* - Yams and Winter Squash
We received a negative surprise when we learned
that eggplant did not make the cut as a highly nutritive vegetable. But
then we got a positive surprise with yams and winter squashes, about

Red Peppers ****
Small amounts of cooked sweet
red peppers have been a usual addition through the years in appetizers,
salads, sandwiches, side dishes, omelets, and more . . . Thus it is easy to bring
small, but frequent, amounts of this healthy vegetable into daily
cooking.
Cabbage**** Simple, Cabbage Lasagna,
Cole Slaw, Knabrus, more . . .
Cabbage is a great friend of

Cauliflower****
Fresh cauliflower, when available, is a
great joy. Only shopping and storage considerations prevent its use as a

for many vegetable dishes. Substitution for sour cream is only a start.
