How about cream spinach. Real simple and delishous. One package of frozen spinach and 1 can of cream of celery soup. Cook and drain spinach; add cream of celery soup- heat and then serve.

Half the time, I bring a huge batch of "threatened" green beans (somewhere between crunch and soft), tossed with butter-sauteed minced onions (just until edges get slightly caramelized) and "confetti" of (uncooked) finely diced orange bell pepper, red bell pepper and/or yellow bell pepper - just a little salt and pepper. I make a LOT for pot lucks and I never go home with leftovers. The other half of the time, I bring a batch of carrots drizzled with dill-and-shallot butter.

Chop fresh spinach, mix with with grated cheese (any kind you love). Place in buttered oven safe dish and bake 30 minutes on 350. Sprinkle more cheese on top while still hot. Simple and satisfying. Even good when it cools. Wonderful with chicken.

Be creative with veggies - celery, peppers, cukes, parsley, broc., spinach leaves ...) I never did all green (can you sneak in some red cherry tomatoes or cauliflower for extra color?
For the top, cut a star shape out of cheese & roll in basil.
Enjoy watching the tree undecorating!

When we need a simple green vegetable that isn't quite a salad, but isn't a hot dish either, we take 2 to 3 cans of french-cut green beans, drain well. Make one package of Good Seasons Italian dry mix salad dressing with apple cider vinegar & Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Let salad dressing sit & mellow for several hours, shaking every hour or so. Add salad dressing to the green beans, & mix well. Let beans marinate for several hours, stirring often. Serve chilled.
