If you like a combination of vegetables, or just have small amounts of various vegetables to use up, this is for you. You can vary the vegetables according to the season and what is on sale.

I found this recipe yesterday, I think it'll be good, if you like curry. I figured with everyone's garden vegetables coming in, you might like this, too & it would be a different way to serve veggies.
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
Does anyone have recipes that involve mixed vegetables? Let me explain. It dawned on me this evening that, although I hate vegetables, I like stew and a potato dish my mom makes (with carrots, mushrooms, onions, and green peppers) and a casserole dish she makes (broccoli, cheese, and rice).
The difference is cooked together they all have the same taste. And I like these dishes. You can't taste the individual vegetables. So, if you have a dish of some type you make that involves a variety of vegetables (preferably without meat, but not necessarily so) I would be very interested in hearing about it.
I want to try to get enough "vegetable" recipes that I can cover most of my meals and possibly lose some weight.

Have you tried doing a stir fry? The teriyaki or soy sauce gives the veggies a different taste. Fried rice is a good way to use veggies too. Chicken or turkey pot pie? Cottage pie? It isn't quite as diet concious, but I always add about 2 cups of mixed veggies to most of the Hamburger helper flavors. My family also likes mixed veggies with spagetti sauce. You can put that over rice, noodles or bread. Also try spagetti squash, it's better for you than the pastas. Do you ever eat Ramen noodle soup? I add a lot mixed veggies to that too. Another easy one is a recipe from the depression--hot dogs, potatoes & onions. Mama would dice potatoes & onions, slice hot dogs into little circles, add a bit of salt & pepper & fry with a little oil. Now that isn't very veggie, but I always fry some little carrot rounds to it to make it a bit healthier, I bet corn would be good too.
This is a favorite at our house. I like to serve it over left over rice. It is also considered a diet meal.
VEGETABLE CHILI
Put all in kettle and cook til vegetables are done.
3 small onions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapino pepper, seeded and chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
2 large can diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz.) whole kernel corn (I also add juice)
1 can (15 oz.) red kidney beans
1 Tbsp. chili powder (or more to taste)
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
I've been bad about not eating enough vegetables but I've found a way that's simple. I have a stove top veggie steamer and I mix frozen broccoli, frozen carrots, and frozen corn. I cook until tender and then I put in a bowl, sprinkle a little olive oil and a little ranch dressing mix (the kind that comes in the little packs). This is quick and healthy and very low in calories. I heard about the ranch dressing online I think.
I hope you'll see this - I had put this newsletter aside to answer this and only just got back to it tonight. I have some suggestions for you.
1- There is a recipe called Grandma Sue's Famous Sausage Stew
on this website, that was contributed by a ThriftyFun member; it has potatoes, carrots & onions, but you could certainly throw in bits of other veggies.
2 - I am pasting a copy of a recipe for Corn & Broccoli Casserole, which can be used as a side dish with a serving of meat or fish.
Corn and Broccoli Casserole is a hearty side dish that starts with fresh tasting frozen veggies and ends with a hot, out of the oven homey result thatll pair with any main dish.
Ingredients:
1 (20-ounce) package frozen creamed corn slightly thawed
1 (16-ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1 egg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted and divided
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup coarsely crushed butter crackers
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine corn, broccoli, egg, 2 tablespoons melted butter, onion powder, salt, and pepper; mix well and spoon into baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix crackers and remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, sprinkle on top of corn and broccoli mixture.
4. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until firm in center.
Note: If you cant find creamed corn in the frozen food aisle, regular frozen corn will work just fine.

3 - I'm also pasting a copy of a recipe for Vegetable Beef Casserole, which came from Robin at this website; since she contributes so many recipes, it might be hard to locate this one in particular, so I'm pasting it here for you.
