Need dinner side suggestions
I think I'm going to make skinnytastes chicken nuggets tonight but I really don't want to have fries with them.
Any other suggestions?

Re: Need dinner side suggestions
I love roasting veggies. I love to do broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, or cauliflower.
Just toss the veggies in a bit of olive oil and season (I use Tony's and S&P), pour on a baking sheet, and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.
Yummmmm. Agree.
Or, blasted broccoli, which is exactly what LCB describes above with broccoli, add some garlic, heat the oven to 500 and cook it for about 7 minutes on one side, flip, and 7 minutes on the other. So good.
Ah Tony's. No kitchen in the deep south would be right without it.
I often forget that not everyone knows what that is.
Did you know that some people have never heard of rotel? I was shocked to find this out...
Place asparagus flat on cookie sheet. Pour olive oil & balsamic vinagraitte over it. Put in oven at 400 degrees, I think for about 10 minutes (but start checking it after about 7). When it's cooked, serve on a plate with feta cheese sprinkled on top.
DH thinks that we have to have wine with any meal where this is served. That makes it fancy-schmancy, but it's easy and tasty.
yes, and yes!
I think I introduced DH to rotel. By "Tony's" do you mean Tony Chachere's?
Yes I do!
Yeah we do. You pass the test! Wait, rotel isn't everywhere?
With DH, I'm not sure if it's just that he had limited cooking skills before he met me, or if it's a regional thing. But the meals I make with rotel are among his favorites.
He's also impressed beyond measure that I made guacamole on the fly the other day by mashing up avocado and mixing in salsa.
I chose my husband 'cuz he's easily impressed.
According to a lot of my coworkers from the mid-west and east coast, rotel is not commonly used at all (and most of them had no clue what I was talking about).
I was shocked.
I put that stuff on pizza. I love it
And I don't know what Tony's is.
Tonys is Creole Seasoning. LOVE IT!!
She's originally from NY but she has a huge soft spot for NOLA and loves to cook in that southern style
In college, I refused to eat pizza unless it had Tony's on it.
Yum, this was dinner last night. I roasted broccoli, carrots, onioin, asparagus, and tomato in olive oil, then sprinkled a little garlic sea salt over the top and a squirt of lemon juice after it came out of the oven. We ate it over lightly buttered brown rice, and it was absolutely fabulous.
Also, as for rotel, I only know what it is because back a few years ago on the Knot there was a girl who served rotel at her wedding, which if I remember was totally klassy in lots of ways. So, rotel became a big joke for a while around there. I'd never heard of it before then.
I put Tony's on pretty much everything except pizza. I don't put it on anything italian. That's funny.
Allow me to introduce you to Rotel.
It's wonderful (essentially, it is diced tomatoes with mexican type seasoning)
