 and I love sides or appitizers.

So tell me what type of sides you like to make with your dinners. I am trying to come up with something different to make with our dinners

Also what are some of your fave appitizers.

I have found pasta roni and I like the parm one. It is so yummy and easy to do.
as far as apps go I like a whole bunch of them but I think my faves are cheese stick or poppers.

 I like steak on the side of my steak

 Well that sounds preety good. We had steak the other night with baked potato and fried okra

 We eat lots of veggies here. LOVE them roasted in the oven or grilled. Prolly not much help.....

 sorry, not trying to be mean.......

I think I'm just hungry.....

dh makes a good 'broasted' type potato with rosemary and oil and seasoning (italian) on it in the oven.

He also is a huge fan of stewed tomatoes with french cut beans in them ( I guess that is more of a veggie) but it's really good with chicken.

I like those Lipton Rice dishes in a bag -

Oh, and those new steamer frozen dishes are great - there is one with potatoes and peppers and something else and it's great -

 I have been wondering about the steamer. I have looked at them a few times but never decided to go with them. I am not big on peppers cooked.

 one of my fav is poppers......however dh could eat his weight in bread so garlic bread, breadsticks, the garlic biscuits (like the ones at Red Lobster), etc. get eaten a lot

 If we go out, it's warm breadsticks, warm garlic bread or potato halves.  Since we don't go out, we have rice, veggies and maybe potatoes.

 oh my gosh I could make myself sick on biscuits and rolls. My fave right now is the pillsbury kind. either the crusty french or white rolls . mmmm they are so good

 I love pastas and rice as side dishes but the sodium and carbs are usually sky high.

I love salads - all kinds - some as sides and some as main dishes -such as a chef salad with ham, turkey, swiss, american, eggs, tomatoes and a dressing made with low fat french mixed with light mayo.   OR
Taco salad with seasoned ground beef or turkey, with tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, olives, tomatoes and catalina dressing  OR

Leftover steak or grilled chicken on a salad with fresh parm cheese, croutans, tomatoes and light ranch or italian dressing   OR

just a veggie salad with added garbanzo beans and croutans    OR

cole slaw  OR  asian crunchy cole slaw  or spinach salad.   YUM!!!!

 I am sooooooo hungry for some scalloped taters & ham right now.

 taquitos are good.  for sides i like to do fake mashed potatoes.  the kind with seasoning.

I love sauteed squash and zucchini for sides, yum!
