My sister and I are going to do the cooking and my nephew will get to do the cleaning. LOL Now this sister I am speaking of always tries to out do any one who is around her on anything she does. Anything that any one else does is as good as hers to hear her tell it.I am not talking about Catwoman, she has to go to her in-law's house. She will be doing the turkey which is fine with me as I have trouble handling something that big now. I am not going to have any problems picking out desserts but I need something to do with green beans, Not a casserole as she will be doing her green bean casserole that no one but her and her hubby likes.I need another side or two. Can ya'll help me please? I am putting this on a couple or so groups as I am desperate. LOL Gem

Use simple vegetable dishes! You can add minor flavors to them to take away the really plain flavor but why wouldn't these be eaten? I remember my grandmother bringing butternut squash one year. It was just cooked down, with some nice spice flavoring, in a simple serving dish. I loved it. It was from the garden, along with flavored green beans and corn dishes. Try something similar to my green bean dish with the picante or salsa added. It's good in both green beans and corn. Love it! If you can get a hold of some green tomatoes or even ripe ones, use those in a simple display. It's a harvest meal, or at least it used to be.

Ever tried the casserole with green beans and shoe peg corn? Or the broccoli/cauliflower/carrot recipe with the french fried onions? I agree with thepiggs too, just a nicely seasoned plain vegetable is good - the frozen ones are good, I think. Just a suggestion, Gem...I'm sure whatever you make will be wonderful!

We are having....Turkey, stuffing and some kind of bread courtesy of my sister. I am making Crock Pot Cornbread Dressing,Honey Dijon Glazed Carrots, Corn Casserole, Mayo Muffins, Pecan Pie, Mountain Dew Cake and Coconut Pie. Christmas Dinner will be our big big big meal. LOL
