    All of my favorites have been mentioned here already. I thought I'd bring up something my husband and kids love that I cook often (they hate most veggies except salad). It's more a prep method than anything else.

    Stewed green beans with cherry tomatoes. It's really tasty.

    In a big skillet, heat a bit of olive oil (I use 2 tsp to a tablespoon). Add in some chopped garlic. Throw in a pound of trimmed and chopped green beans and 3/4 pound cherry tomatoes, all rinsed with some of the water still clinging to them. Add salt and pepper. Add lid. Saute for 15 -20 minutes, stirring every now and then until the tomatoes are collapsed and the green beans are tender. Remove lid, raise heat, and let some liquid evaporate to caramelize the juices a bit.

    Nom.

    Roasting cubed eggplant (salt and let sit, rinse and drain to dry) with cherry tomatoes is also tasty.

    Can you tell I have a thing for cherry tomatoes?
