I prefer to have vegetables prepared with every dinner that I serve my family, so it is nice to come across a recipe that is easy to prepare while the entree is cooking away. True, the kids may pick and choose which veggie is their favorite, as my 4-year-old would, but I enjoy all three as I hope your family will. This recipe calls for frozen vegetables to save time, but I always love to use fresh when given the choice...up to your preference.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pkg. 10 oz. frozen corn kernels
• 1 pkg. 10 oz. frozen cut green beans
• 5 oz. fresh baby spinach
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
• coarse salt and ground pepper

Preparation:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high, add corn and green beans, and cook about 4-6 minutes, until green beans are warmed through. Next add the thyme and spinach, seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss until spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes, then stir in the vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in a bright dish for added pizazz.
