Meat with a side of....

dixee.deluxe · October 2012

What are your go-to sides? I swear we're always eating meat with frozen corn or peas. I'm the laziest.

I'm a lazy cooker too. I looove the Knorr rice sides...they are so quick and yummy. Couscous boxes are quick and easy too...as far as veggies go, sometimes I'll buy a package of romaine and make a quick caesar salad. I also do the frozen or steamable veggies.

Raosted potatoes, salad, raw veg with dip, rice, coucous or qinoa salad, sliced tomato with cucumber and red onions, home fries, baked potato. Those are my favs.

I do some of the above (Knorr packages), rice (white or yellow), egg noodles with gravy, mac & cheese, baked tater tots or fries, stuffing, scalloped potatoes (I buy those Betty Crocker boxes), baked potatoes, rice & beans

Eta- I like this website, nothing fancy but the stuff under food/recipes are pretty good. I have made a couple things (baked crispy chicken, twice baked potatoes) and also has meal plans for 8 weeks I think. https://www.momswhothink.com/

I LOVE salsa...so I buy my favorite Market Fresh salsa and mix it with a can of corn!

We always buy the frozen steam bags of vegetables. My favorites are broccoli and cheese and the green beans and potatoes. We normally have a bag of veggies with every meal.

Yay! Let me know if they come out good! I love my crockpot but I need a new one... Instead of cooking on low for 8 hours it cooks on low for 5 hours and it's done. Good for when I am home but not for work and there is no timer. Keurig and crockpot on my Xmas list!

We do baked potatoes, sweet potato fries, homemade french fries, fresh green beans with bacon bits, grilled asparagus, bread/roll, fruit, cottage cheese, applesauce, orzo with sun dried tomatoes and feta, salsa with chips

I find sides really hard to come up with.

before our diet, fried potatos. My husband thinks you must have a potato with every meal and he prefers to fry them. also a side salad usually. Now we have been doing alot of asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and kidney beans as our sides but whoo hoo south beach diet, I have lost 10 pounds :-)

Some sort of veggie for the most part. We steam fresh green beans, broccoli and squash or boil carrots. We try to get carbs & a veggie but it doesn't always work. But we'll try some sort of pasta or potato.

megilb · October 2012

i make mashed potatoes, baked potatoes/sweet potatoes, the rice or pasta sides...frozen veggies..sometimes stuffing.

I buy bags of frozen potato wedges, and frozen veggies etc. I also buy fresh veggies but they only last so long, so I can't buy too much or I have to throw out a lot. I don't get to the store every few days like I used to prebaby/on maternity leave.

My cooking style has changed a lot. I used to be a big cook, all making stuff from scratch and such. Now I am a lazy cook defrosting stuff from scratch and such. LOL!

I am trying to do more vegetarian meals just to force me to break away from having the same dinner all the time (some meat I defrost and whatever else I find to go with). The crockpot is great however that also takes planning ahead and getting up a little earlier in the morning. I am struggling with this full time working mom/healthy food provider thing to be honest!
