I am looking for some ideas to tell my grandmother to make for easter. Traditionally we have ham, green bean casserole, au gratin potatoes (all of my favorite foods)....well this year I feel so bad that she has to cook special dishes for me..... Any ideas for a good vegetable dish would be greatly appreciated! Here are my favs (from Cooking Light mag mostly). There are 4.
green beans snap peas
sweet potato casserole and cook a lot of baby carrots and toss with honey, gingerroot and margarine. 
We are going to try making the au gratin potatoes with soy milk and veggie/soy cheese hopefully they turn out ok!!!!!
No offense but I would stay away from fake soy au gratin potatoes! They won't be good (unless you are used to it). I can't make myself like them. I make potatoes like this: slice them thinly and layer them in a butter Pam-ed dish with potato slices, salt and pepper, titch of safe marg. and fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Repeat layers. And top with more butter spray. Cover with casserole top. You hardly need ANY margarine to make them taste buttery. They can be cooked at any temp and take 30-60 min. (I am making them tonight in fact) They are way better than soy dairy!
