I love quinoa. I mocked Chasey for eating it, then had to apologize after I tried it.
That's because those terrible boiled to death things our mothers made are vile and should be against the law. Roasted brussel sprouts is the way to go.
That's why we all hated veggies as kids, because cooking them correctly hadn't been invented yet.
You Laugh! She's having that for lunch today. With ground turkey and mixed vegies.
Agree. And add a drizzle of reduced balsamic vinegar.

I haven't boiled anything in a long time. Prefer grilled, then roasted, steamed is my least used route. Usually only because it's raining and too wet to grill.

That's exactly why people hate veggies: they don't know how to make them properly. I grew up on Italian green beans, marinated mushrooms, buttered lima beans, crispy sprouts in bals. vin, pan-fried squash, etc.
Although, same goes for fish. I find most people that dislike fish have never had it properly cooked for them
My mother grew up on everything being boiled to death. She, and 2 of her 3 brothers all taught themselves how to properly cook. One ended up a restaurant owner and now beer and wine distributor, the other is an executive chef. We're having a family get-together next week. I'm only packing stretchy pants.
I need to use my grill a bit more often but never liked grilled peas, beans or corn.
They tend to fall through the grate.

I like it, too. I know how much Kyle hates it and was going for the total gross out.
Exactly. My mom did some things okay, but most often the veggies were cooked to death. I still remember my grandmother boiling white patty pan squash until it was a big ol' pot of disgusting mush.

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I stopped at Whole Foods in Annapolis on Monday on my way back from the shore and they had them!
I make a dish using them (both the beets tops and bottoms) plus leeks and chicken, flavored with turmeric. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 
Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks
Turmeric Braised Chicken with Golden Beets and Leeks is a flavorful dish layered with vegetables and spices, covered with wine and baked in a casserole dish.

BTW, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get some great deals at Whole Foods. All you do is shop for the blue dot items and at checkout scan the barcode for Whole Foods in the Amazon app. Wish I had had the foresight to bring a cooler for some refrigerated and frozen items as there were some great savings there, especially on seafood.
As it was, I bought two bunches of golden beets, some awesome cherries, and two large bunches of basil so I can make my own pesto again.
