    Whole grain pasta, couscous, barley, bulgur, root vegetables, whole grain bread, beans, lentils. Most fruit is high in carbs as well, but probably not the best choice for a side dish, haha.

    It honestly takes 5 seconds to find this info online dude, google is your friend ;-)

    Check this out! Kind of a basic break down. There's lots of recipes for whole wheat waffles/pancakes too. Just gotta do a little digging. Anything high-fibre is usually a good carb and will help regulate bloodsugar levels throughout the day to keep your brain functioning.

    Barley is a good idea for something to add to a soup. Also look for non-starchy veg.

    :D

    Couscous can be prepared so many different ways so you can get a lot of variety spicy to sweet

    Roasted white or mini purple potatoes are great

    Roasted parsnips

    Polenta made with red mill 100% whole grain corn meal

    100% whole wheat stone crackers are good with salads / homemade 100% croutons

    Butternut squash
