Some committee got together and made decisions....and so I need to bring a green veggie... Not a casserole, not a salad. I can always throw a huge can of drained and rinsed green beans in the Crockpot with chicken broth overnight.....but I'd rather do something a little more creative! Any ideas?

Steamed broccoli with cheese sauce?
Braised green beans with toasted almonds

Use broccoli with a strong chicken broth---very tasty!

Steamed Brussel sprouts tossed with bacon! Yum!

How about an edible Christmas tree? Picture is not mine -
I used styrofoam shaped like a tree - cover it with green saran wrap or foil. Set it on a plate & spread dip (like snow) around it.
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!

This is sooooo cute! I'm afraid somebody would complain that it was reallly a salad, though.....but I'll make this for my gradnsons for Christmas dinner!

Green Beans
2/3 c. bean liquid (discard remainder)
6 Tbsp. vinegar
3 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
Fry 4-6 strips bacon with a chopped medium onion. Add above mixture and let thicken. Add 2 cans of green beans (drained). Heat and serve.

I was going to say green bean cassarole

Fresh Brussels sprouts, cut in half and saute in some olive oil or butter, a little salt and pepper until slightly browned. Add to couscous or eat alone. Always a hit with my ladies club!
