I highly recommend allrecipes.com for lots of delicious recipes, and all the how-to videos to support you learning new techniques.
My favorite new but ridiculously easy veggie-prep technique is roasting.
Clean and peel the vegetable (root veggies do best with this), and place them on a sheet or roasting pan, put melted butter or olive oil on them (sparingly), salt and pepper them, the place in a 400F oven, for about 30-40 minutes (if you've cut them to 1-2" chunks, otherwise they should roast for an hour). You can add herbs and spices to your taste (I love putting curry powder or herb mixes like herbes de provence on my veggies).
You add a lot of flavor, while still being healthy (as long as you stick to only about 2T of oil/fat across all your veggies), and it's super easy.
