vegetable steamer at Target
Please never boil vegetables, steam them lightly if you want them hot.
Or roast them in a bit of good virgin olive oil and spices to your taste.

Jim:
Broccoli: Parboil and serve with a dusting of parmesan cheese. Or parboil, with fresh lemon juice. Of course, a simple cheese sauce makes anything palatable. Try the parmesan or lemon on Brussels sprouts or asparagus, also.
Or balsamic on any of the above.
.
Try doing stir fry recipes. You don't even have to do them the same way. Get some Hoisin sauce. Cook your meat==I do it crisp. Add your veggies: carrots, celery, zucchini, cabbage, bean sprouts, Bok Choi==whatever you think of. I don't like cooked cabbage, so I undercook it. Keep it moving (you started with MAYBE a tablespoon of peanut oil). Add some cashews or peanuts, water chestnuts (canned) or bamboo shoots. Add a spoonful of sauce==I like Hoisin sauce but lobster sauce or fish sauce will work. the key is, keep it all (except the meat) undercooked. Vary things and you can do it all week and it'll never taste the same!
ANYTHING will taste better (well, almost==there are a few I don't talk about. Mostly on camping trips) if you make it yourself. Next thing you know, you'll be making your own salad dressings, sauces, etc.
good luck, greg
PS Shoot me your e-mail (I think I had it but lost it) and I can send you some recipes.

This and Betty Crocker and you just about have everything covered.
T-Star: I cook for myself too. And I'm not vey good at it nor very imaginative. I got a steamer once, and now do all my vegetables in it; much better than boiling. I'm on my second steamer; I turned on the burner under my first one by mistake; half an hour later it was red hot and the bottom was molten. What are those bottoms made of?

Genius! You inadvertently stumbled on the perfect product to make a fortune...actual liquid bacon. Could be used as a dressing or just drink it right from the carton/pouch/bottle....

I like to saute zucchini slices with a little garlic and then add stewed tomatoes and simmer until everything is hot. Sometimes adding mushrooms to the saute.
If you like your veggies a little on the crunchy side then add the stewed tomatoes sooner. Can sprinkle parmesian on when serving if you like. Goes good with garlic bread too!
