For sides with dinner. I am making chicken as I usually do, but I can only come up with veggies for the side. I have a picky eater doing this with me, and I want to leave a little more than 93 calories after I added one more side incase I have a craving later in the evening. Any suggestions for a cheap side to add to chicken and green beans?

    Two ideas.
    First, a beautiful bright orange side worthy of Thanksgiving.

    CARROTS & SWEET POTATO W/ GINGER (serves 3-6)
    6 large carrots
    1 small sweet potato
    1/4 tsp. ground ginger
    1 Tbsp butter
    Salt & pepper to taste
    Simmer or steam veges together. Blend in food processor w/ spices & butter. Serve hot.

    OR, try a mixed green salad with oranges and a light vinegar/oil dressing. Add fresh pepper, green onion. Delicious.

    I would highly recommend getting in 1/2cup of brown rice or 1/2 sweet potato for healthy carbs. Makes your meal even more balanced and filling :)
