In the early months of A Veggie Venture, I listed each new favorite vegetable recipe in a special category. But too quickly, there were sooo many favorites, far too many to list in one place and still be useful. So now, wherever it's listed, each vegetable recipe that's a personal favorite is marked with a ♥. But here! here are my absolute favorite vegetable recipes, just one per month. Here, for sure, you'll find your favorites too. ~ Alanna Updated 2/7/10
