Need some green variety

Hey everyone, I'm on day 24 (gasp? I can't believe I'm almost done. So sad. I think I'll keep going until christmas!) 
I'm feeling like I need some variety on the vegetable front: here's the catch, I try to adhere to the TCM concept of eating cooked, warm things when the weathers cold, so that eliminates a number of raw veggie options. 

Mostly I've been eating: spaghetti squash, acorn squash, buttercup squash, peppers, kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, avocado (as a fat), zucchini.

Any other colourful cookable veggies you can think of? I feel like I'm forgetting things I could be eating? What do your plates look like?

This Whole9 produce guide is helpful - tells you what's in season and also makes recommendations on what you should get organic (and what you don't need to worry about) http://whole9life.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/whole9-produce-guide.pdf
 

I also love asparagus, and had a nice batch of broccoli rabe this week - yum.

 

Not a green veg, but I enjoy rutabaga too.  I use 1/2 a rutabaga in this recipe instead of the turnips (reduce each of the cooking times by 5 minutes):  http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-breakfast-casserole/#axzz2kegS2zLN

I've got a weird allergy to asparagus, despite it being one of my favourite veggies. Also, I did find the guide super helpful, I just feel like maybe my veg are too starchy? Anyway, thanks for the rutabaga suggestion. I've been meaning to look for ways to use it.

ROZ- carrots! Thanks
