mashed potatoes

sweet corn on the cob

fried zuccini with ranch dip

candied sweet potatoes

eggplant casserole or eggplant fried (like Olive Garden dish)

yellow crook neck summer squash, fried up with onion/bacon

fried or steamed Okra

I have an aversion to carrots at the moment.

And you?

Just about every vegetable is my favorite vegetable in the summer, but I'd have to say my favorite is the peaches-and-cream corn they sell at the Farmer's Market in Charleston.  It is SO GOOD!!!!

I keep meaning to pick some of that up. That was my grandmother's favorite kind when she would raise corn. Do you recall which vendor had it? I'm planning to make a trip this week again to get some more beets!  Nom nom!

It was one of the vendors kinda in the middle, on the closest side to the building.  I know that's not very specific, LOL.  It is so good.  I started getting that last year and got totally addicted to it!  I coudln't wait for them to get it in again this year!

All veggies(except for those nasty brussel sprouts!) are my favorite!  My favorite meal is fresh corn on the cob, thick sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.  Forget the meat, bring on the veggies!

Corn

Tomatoes

Mushrooms

Cucumbers

Butternut squash

I can't name a vegetable I DON'T like (well, except okra) but my favorite of the moment is lima beans. You never find them fresh, unshelled, in the grocery store. You either have to grow them yourself, or find a farmer's market. Fresh is best, frozen will work for me, and even canned limas are okay. I like lima beans alone as a vegetable, or cooked with fresh corn for succotash. That's a combo I even eat for breakfast.  Okay, I know I'm a little strange…limas for breakfast. But if they are leftover in the refrigerator they are my first choice.

I love limas too!  but I have to tell you a funny story.  My brother in law has a huge garden.  One of his favorite things to grow is Lima Beans and butter beans.  He grows them so well, they are soooo delicious.  Every time I go to visit them we always have fresh limas or butter beans. 

Every time I would visit them I would get the worst migranes.  We always figured it was the country air or something in the air up there.  My sister was getting paranoid because the only time I would get migranes is when I went to visit or she came to visit (she always brought me a batch of limas).  She thought she was doing me a favor because I just loved them. 

Shortly after one of our visits, I had a dr. visit and mentioned the migranes.  He was going through the list of triggers, caffiene, at the time no, chocolate, no, red wine, no, and then he said legumes, and I said you mean like peanuts and limas?  and he said yes, and I said “YES”.  So the mystery was solved.  

I still eat my limas and my butter beans, but in moderation!  They are too good to give up!

I love all veggies!  Haven't found one yet I don't like.

And I love them all except for greens. Just cant stand the smell and slime.

My favorite has to be fresh shelled peas of any kind.

oooo Fried cabbage!  YUMMMMMY!

I have never tasted a leek, it's not a southern veggie.  I love almost everthing else, but brussel sprouts and asparagus.  As a child we had a very large garden and grew almost all of the food that our large family consumed, but as an adult I realised that we didn't grow anything my daddy didn't like.  I never tasted broccoli until I was grown, and I love it.  I have 2 grown sons and they only eat potatoes and very few other veggies, and the only tomatoes they eat are in ketsup and sauces.  Go figure!
