    Steamed veggies, like brocolli with lemon juice, snow peas.

    I have a great reciepe for cauliflower that is like a double stuffed baked potatoe.

    take a head of Cauliflower and clean out most of the core.

    Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Steam for about 5 minutes in the microwave

    In another bowl add about a 1/4 cup to a 1/2 a cup of Light Mayo with about 2 teaspoons of mustard and a finly chopped onion. After you have steamed the cauliflower be careful and pull back the plastic wrap the steam will scalud you. Pour the mayo mixture over the top an and about 2 cups of shredded lowfat chedder cheese then cover again and microwave for about another 2 minutes till the cheese is melted. Salt and pepper to taste.

    hasselback potatoes

    Oh god. I need to make those tonight. My dad used to make them and I've not had them in sooooo long. He sprinkled paprika on them.


    I love sauteed mushrooms with my steak! A little butter, some black pepper and garlic. YUMMO!

    Red potatoes, quartered, seasoned with rosemary and a little black pepper, cooked stovetop in light sweet cream butter done al-dente. Top with a little fresh parsley or cilantro to garnish.

    Grilled corn is also a good one.

    Asparagus...

    Rub with a little olive oil and sea salt and roast them, OR
    do what Alton Brown does, put them in between two rows of moistened paper towels and microwave. Then season with the salt and a little olive oil if you like.

    Steaks are pretty heavy so I like something light to go with them. Roasted broccoli and/or cauliflower, sauted green beans and mushrooms, steamed or sauted greens w garlic, cabbage and jicama slaw w horseradish dressing. Something along those lines.

    HONEY PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 Bundle Fresh Asparagus
    3 Tbsp Olive Oil
    2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
    2 Tbsp Honey
    1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
    DIRECTIONS:
    Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and asparagus spears, then add the honey. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. Place on serving dish and top with shredded Parmesan cheese.

    HELPFUL TIPS:
    This dish can be adapted to taste. You can add extra olive oil. If you want it sweeter, add more honey. If you prefer it cheesier, you can add more cheese. I prefer my asparagus well done so I tend to cook it a little bit longer.

    Baked sweet potato with a little smart balance and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Oh, and some broccoli or some type of "green" veggie. Yum! :)

    Baked potato. A standard size potato is only 150 calories. Be careful what you put on top of it though.

    Roasted cherry tomatoes - Just drizzle with olive oil, balsamic and salt+pepper. Broil on high (baking sheet with foil) until they burst and the edges char. The juice and tomatoes are amazing on taters and meat.


    Do you like eggplant? Because this recipe blew my mind. Would be amazing with grilled steak and brown rice. Just drizzle the sauce all over your meal. yummm

    I know you're tired of salads, but this one is a bit different from the usual. Amazing carrot ginger dressing
