I usually use romaine or spinach. I find they both taste better than iceberg. I can't remember the last time I bought iceberg!

I don't know about recipes, BUT I like

brussel sprouts steamed with a dab of butter on top

rutabagga boiled, then mashed

chef salad (lettuce, diced ham, chopped turkey, tomato and small bit of grated cheese on top)

green beans

>I don't know much about preparing them - mostly eat them raw.

My daughter (7yo) likes her veggies raw. If I cook veggies, I leave some out for her.

Do you use canned beans or fresh? I can't stand the canned green beans but love the fresh.

Two of my kids will eat them. They think they're like little cabbages and they love raw cabbage! Weird kids, hey? LOL!

It has yellowish-brown skin but inside it's yellow - but not so dark a colour as sweet potato. I cut it in pieces and boil until I can stick a fork into it and it is tender (varies because of how big your pieces are) Sometimes I mash and add a spoonful of butter and I add pepper. Oh yeah, I add salt to the water.
