Hi!

Deciding to have a nice piee of sirloin steak tonight for dinner...i've eaten poultry all week and need a red meat fix! Trying to decide what to have with it though...i was thinking possibly baked potato and peas...not sure what else to do to jazz it up!> Ideas anyone?!

    I would skip the potatoes and peas altogether. How about slicing up some green/red/yellow pepper and onion, saute them and serve "fahita style" next to your steak? You could have a ton more of this compared to the calories from the potatoe and peas (not to mention a much lower glycemic load).

    Roasted broccoli is terrific with steak! Lightly dress broccoli with olive oil and sea salt, then bake until bright green and has the desired tenderness.

    I usually have roasted red baby potatoes sliced in half with a mist of olive oil spray and seasoned with garlic, and rosemary with a little sea salt for seasoning...very yummy...and a small salad or mixed steamed veggies...it's a hearty dinner when I can afford the calories..or on my cheat day. I am having it tonight actually!

    Not sure if you like mushrooms, but if you do, saute them in garlic and just a smidge of olive oil. They taste FANTASTIC on top of a steak!!!

    Think high colors. Cooked baby carrots, a salad with tomatoes, maybe some corn(on the cob or off). Just make sure you make the steak only 1 third of your meal with the rest veggies.

    I've eaten so much peppers, brocoilli and salad this week it's literally coming out of my ears! Feel like i need some sort of carb tonight to fill me up alongside veggies...maybe spinach?

    I agree with your assessment. Perhaps I will subscribe to your newsletter.

    I love the fajita veggie idea. My new obsession is grilled asparagus. Wash and trim the asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and grill for a few minutes. They have a great flavor, are still a bit firm, and great calorie/fat accompaniment to steak. Enjoy!

    Try whipped cauliflower, it looks like mashed potatoes and taste pretty good. Basically you boil cauliflower drain it, puree it in a food processor (or mash it by hand) add a little fat free half n half and season it with salt, pepper, and garlic.

    Totally agree with love of asparagus, except i've had this all week too! Would be nice to have something different.

    Roasted fresh brussel sprouts. Toss them in a little tiny bit of olive oil, some McCormick No Salt Added Mediterranean Perfect Pinch spice, and place them in a 350 oven until just fork tender. So delicious!

    grilled vegetables. Also, if you feel like you need something starchy, baked squash of some kind goes well.

    3 strips of bacon (cut into chunks if you want). Once they are nice and crispy, drop in some asparagus for a minute or so. Yumm!!

    Sweet potato is another good idea!

    Good luck!
