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!:heart:

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

    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.
