What are your healthy and sorta easy go to's? I'm having elk tenderloin tonight, not sure what to serve it with! Hopefully something my boyfriend (and possibly his dad, if he comes over) will enjoy eating! Share your favorites!

    My faves are broccoli and a microwaved potato with cheese or butter.

    With steak? I always think meat and potatoes....

    Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Roasted Red potatoes and then some quick steamed green beans.

    Fennel sauteed in butter. Maybe something like squash? Or potatoes? Meat and potatoes are always yummy. But I feel like you would want a hearty side dish with elk! I like broccoli too. It goes with everything. Maybe a kale salad too. Kale makes for some great winter salads.

    1) Roasted baby potatoes and sweet potatoes (1in pieces) tossed with a little chili powder, paprika, salt & pepper and some olive oil
    2) Cucumber, tomato, feta and basil drizzled with some good balsamic and fresh ground pepper
    3) Roasted buttercup squash slices - totally delicious just on their own!
    4) Gallo Pinto
    5) Homemade no knead bread (Google it!)
    6) Toss together a fresh couscous salad - cover 1cup WW couscous with 1 1/4c boiling water and some spices of choice (cumin, coriander, curry, dry mustard etc) until absorbed, fluff, and then once cool mix with chick peas or edamame, some red onion, sweet bell pepper, cucumber, grape tomatoes, fresh herbs (dill is so good!) and a homemade dijon vinaigrette.
