Before I get to that, however, I want to highlight what I feel is the really important aspect of this journey. Namely, that my interest in, and enjoyment of, vegetables came about from a sort of palate-shift that I went through once I started eating fewer calories and began focusing on healthier habits. Its not so much that I discovered secret new ways to prepare vegetables that somehow made them more enticing. Its more that I began realizing that candy and snacks were not providing me with satisfaction or energy I need.

I know exactly what Jonathan is talking about. I now crave vegetables and fresh fruit the way I used to crave bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes.
I like some frozen vegetables. But I don't like frozen broccoli. I hate the way they chop up the entire bunch of broccoli, stalk and all. So I buy fresh broccoli. It is really easy to clean and cut.
I usually cut up two bunches all at once and put it in a Tupperware container. It keeps in the fridge all week. Then I can eat it raw with some dip or dressing. Or I can steam
it and have fresh steamed broccoli with dinner.
