Green veggies can be a bit boring, there I said it. There are so many options out there, but making it fun, making it simple, and making it fit into your diet is the challenge. The below recipe is a fast and easy side that you can make instead of the mashed potato standby. Despite its healthy 'tone,' people love this one!

I like simplicity and whether it's butternut squash, lima bean, or even carrots, with a few tweaks in the spices you get a completely new, flavorful dish!
