Does anyone have some good vegetable (no meat) recipes. Recipes that don't require canned soups or high calorie sauces. I don't mean casseroles. I am looking for simple things using fresh or frozen vegetables or even canned. I have a cabinet full of spices, but most of them I don't even use. I've done some online searches, but most I've found require a lot of ingredients or spices I don't buy or already have. Thanks.

There is a recipe here on thriftyfun called Italian vegetable stew submitted by margaret from rochester, NY. I have been making it for years, usually as it is written, but sometimes I add my own variations depending on what I have in the cupboard. It is easy, healthy and utterly delicious. If you cant find it, I can email it to you but it would be easier for you to just bookmark it in your account here and you always have it handy. I love this recipe!
I cook carrots either large ones cut in pieces or baby carrots then drain and add a tablespoon of butter and some sugar free maple syrup. Fast and easy and delish!
