Hopefully, most everyone is well aware that their dinner plate should be well proportioned with green vegetables, especially during cold and flu season. We still admit there are evenings when we wreck our brains as to what to serve with those winter vitamins.

Here are a few menu suggestions to make your winter plates pop with flavor and good health. In the time you'll save preparing these dishes, you might even have time to bake the Lemon Snowballs we've added as a bonus for all your hard work!

Look for the Times-Gazette's Health magazine coming out later this month with more healthful hints and stories.
