Vegetable Recipe Box

Welcome!
If you love vegetables, you're going to love A Veggie Venture! If you just want to eat more vegetables, you're definitely going to love it here!

A Veggie Venture is the award-winning home of 1000+ seasonal vegetable recipes, all super-organized to quickly find just the right recipe, exactly what you're looking for.

It's the motherlode of recipe resources for all vegetable lovers, including CSA members, farmers market shoppers and vegetable gardeners plus home cooks who buy fresh/frozen/other vegetables from grocery stores, warehouse clubs like Sam's and Costco and specialty grocers like Trader Joe's.

What to Expect

Some recipes are year-round kitchen staples but most feature fresh, in-season vegetables.
Many are great for meal prep, others for easy weeknight suppers.
So many recipes are vegan (what I call Vegan Done Real, vegan recipes made with real food not processed, packaged so-called food) and nearly all are vegetarian.
A huge proportion of recipes are Weight Watchers friendly and naturally gluten-free.
Many are also low-carb, Whole30 friendly and keto friendly.

So browse the Recipe Box to see what appeals for tonight or the weekend! Or if you're looking for something particular, see Five Ways to Find the Perfect Recipe.

How to Read the Recipe Lists

Each recipe includes shorthand information about time requirements and nutrition.
For example, Jubilee Greens (How to Sauté Leafy Greens Like Spinach, Chard, Kale & More) 5min/15min–ww2–pp2–sp3–fs2–green2–blue2–purple2–carb10 ♥ means that the recipe for sautéed greens:

Takes 5 only minutes of hands-on time to prepare and only 15 minutes to get to the table
A serving counts as 2 point (Old Points) in the old Weight Watchers parlance
A serving counts 2 points (PointsPlus) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts 3 points (SmartPoints) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts 2 points (Freestyle) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts 2 points (green) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts 2 points (blue) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts 2 points (purple) in that iteration of the Weight Watchers point calculations
A serving counts as an unknown number of points after Weight Watchers switched to its PersonalPoint calculations, please see future WW points
A serving has only 10 Net Carbs, where Net Carbs = Total Carbs minus Fiber
The recipe is a personal favorite marked by ♥
