    Finding ways to cook veggies I'm less than enthusiastic about-have learned to disguise kale in smoothies, soups, snacks, and sauces.

    This was a great way to push myself to try new foods and cook more. Also found vegetarian meals that I would actually choose to eat as part of my everyday menu.

    Any suggestions of what to do with veggie waste (tops, peels, etc) besides adding them to smoothies or cake/bread batter?

      • Compost.
      • Planting anything from the root vegetable family? It could even be as an ornamental in some cases - in a clear glass roots can be very pretty. 
      • Find a neighbor with a guinea pig or chickens.
      • Here is a list of five vegetable tops that you can eat (beets, carrots, radish, celery root, and turnips.)

    So far, I've been able to cook and eat a vegetarian meal every day- also eating veggies I've never cooked before (jicama, fennel, jerusalem artichoke, parsnips). Not as hard as I thought it would be.
