Uggh, he wants what for dinner?

My DH came home last night and requested that we have stuffed cornish hens for dinner.  Well, first of all, I am not exactly what you would call a cook, I can cook, I just don't.  Second of all, I have never even eaten cornish hens, let alone cooked them.  And, to top it all off, I have a horrible chest cold that Dayquil is only half a$$ helping with.  He has told me not to worry about it, and that he will just make them some other time (insert sigh and puppy dog eyes) , but now I really want to make them to surprise him.  Anyone have any ideas for good side dishes?  Croissants?  asparagus?

Mashed potatoes? I make them with everything. Sean loves mashed potatoes and gravy.

Hope you feel better soon!  Cornish hens are really easy to cook - just put them on a cookie sheet and bake them.  Super easy.  We usually do "thanksgiving" side dishes with ours...  stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, etc.  Good luck!
