Healthy sides for my Meat N' Potatoes man??

hig17

Looking for ideas for healthy side dishes for me and my fiance`. I usually do a veggie and a starch (usually potatoes for him and a baked sweet potato for me) however this is getting OLD. And he is a picky eater.....HELP!

My husband detests plain rice, but I've made some brown rice mixes that he will eat:

1-black beans with canned tomatoes, sprinkled with feta
2- salsa & guacamole
3-cream of broccoli soup
4- scrambled eggs & frozen veggies (made like fried rice)

How about topping his potato with the broccoli and cheese sauce from freezer section with a side of fruit...sometimes I cut up fresh pineapple ...or cut up an apple (cored/skinned ) sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon and fry in small mount of butter...really good with pork dishes. Make up Spanish rice as a side+ veggies. My hubby is actually starting to eat" rabbit food" now...salads!!! I still have to top with croutons, bacon bits, shredded Cheddar ...and here lately, he eats it with chicken strips on top(prepackaged).

Good Luck!

Sounds like my husband.....no onions, tomatos, etc.......healthy side for him corn on the cob. Good luck:laugh:

I dunno', if he doesn't like what I made he can make something for himself. I ain't no short-order cook.

my starch/carb side preference is potatoes...they are healthy.



What's going on today with the potato hate?

I don't hate potatoes. I love them.



I just don't care about my husband's opinion of my cooking. :laugh:

I like mashed taters as a side.
