As a side dish I take pretty much any vegetable ( green beans, sugar snap peas, snow peas, asparagus, brocoli, mushrooms, or a mixture of these) saute them with some garlic and ginger and then add soy sauce. Let the soy sauce reduce a little untill it's kinda syrupy. Serve the vegetable with the sauce.
Ratatouille is great too. Saute onion, and garlic in olive oil. When the onion goes translucent, add chopped eggplant, zuchinni, tomato concasee (seedless, skinless, roughly chopped tomato), red and green bell pepper, and really any other vegetables that you want to put in there. Basil, oregano, thyme and parsley are good in there too, and salt and pepper of course.Any recipes that is simple, yet delicious to prepare with green veggies, or even fruits?

Everytime i make rice a roni, or zatarains, I add a 1/2 bag of frozen spinach to it, and some sliced mushrooms ( a lot of times u can find them already sliced in the fresh produce section).
Zuchinni is really easy to make just slice it as thick or thin as u like, put it in a warm pan with enough olive oil to coat the bottom, sprinkle some black pepper and garlic salt over the top and cover them , cook them on low and they will steam and come out perfect
Get a bunch of tomatoes cut them into 4th's drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle some minced fresh garlic and fresh ripped up basil salt and pepper, put them on a cookie sheet and roast them in the oven, when they're done you can put it into lil zip loc bags and take them out for whenever you're cooking fish, chicken, pasta or rice.

spaghetti bolognese. Just boil the pasta (10 minutes tops) and then brown the mince and add to the mince loads of spinach and chopped tomatos and then buy a good quality bolognese sauce (good ones are just like homemade and have no artificial additives) then you just simmer for two minutes. Drain the pasta and serve. Delicious,very cheap,quick and very healthy as for desert fruit with sugar free jelly is delicious
