I'm going to try this Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese tonight. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/chicken-rollatini-with-prosciutto-and.html
I'm just going to replace the prosciutto with ham. Any suggestions for side dishes? The family is getting tired of the same old vegetables.

Asparagus is in season right now, delish! Saute in olive oil with garlic and top with grated parmesan.0

Love asparagus! We have that about once a week. That would be a good one if I can't come up with something different.0

I vote asparagus, too.0 -
Sauteed brussels sprouts are fantastic with a little butter and lots of spice! Or spaghetti squash with olive oil, garlic and basil. Yum!0

We do asparagus, carrots, red peppers, green beans, and corn a lot so anything different is good. I like mixes better than just single dishes of veggies.0 -
Roasted cauliflower is sooo good!0

I have some delicious side dish ideas from a cookbook that I want to try. Ingredients can be found at Trader Joe's if you have one near you.
1. Mediterranean Lentil Salad
1 (17.6-ox.) pkg refrig. Steamed Lentils (about 2.5 c.)
1 1/5 c. chopped tomato (cocktail tomatoes or baby Romas would be good)
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbsp fresh mint (optional)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Combine lentils, tomatoes, parsley and mint.
Use a fork to whisk lemon juice and olive oil together. Pour dressing over the salad, giving a quick toss to combine.
Prep time: 5 min.
Serves: 4-6
2. Persian Green Bean Rice
2 c. basmati rice
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lb (3 c.) green beans, washed and cut to 1/2-1-inch lengths
1 clove garlic, crushed, or 1 cube frozen Crushed Garlic
1 (14.5-ox) can Fire Roasted Whole Tomatoes, diced, half drained, or plain canned diced tomatoes are also okay, half drained
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp Spanish Saffron
Place saffron in a small cup; add 1 Tbsp hot water and stir. Set aside.
Rinse rice in water and drain. Place rice in a large pot and fill with at least 8 c. water and 1 tsp salt. Turn the heat on and once boiling, boil for 4 min. Rice should be tender to the bite but won't be fully cooked. Drain in a colander.
While rice is cooking, add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet and add green beans, garlic, diced tomatoes and cinnamon. Stir lightly until combined. Cover and cook for 10 min.
Put 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil in the pot you used for the rice, and place it on medium heat. When the butter is melted, put 1/5 of the rice on the bottom, the 1/3 of the green bean mixture. Continue alternating layers, forming a mound shape. Pour saffron water over the top and dot with remaining butter. Cover pout. reduce heat to low, and steam for 45 minutes.
Prep and cooking time: 15 min.
Hands-off cooking time: 45 min.
Serves: 60 -
My best friend's mom makes something her family calls 'squish', it's yellow squash cut in half with the seeds scooped out filled with spinach (frozen chopped, brought to room temp), cheese - usually cream cheese but I've made it with ricotta and goat cheese - and bread crumbs. The bread crumbs aren't essential, and I often just sprinkle them on top instead of putting them in the mix. Bake that til it's all warm and enjoy!0

Ooh, that sounds good!0 -
I am so in love with Green Giant Steamers - Farmers choice healthy colors with cauliflower, carrots, snap peas, and cranberries and buttery stuff. It is sooo good that my kids fight for who gets more.
Sweet Potatoes are always a win in my book.
That squish stuff sounds awesome though.^^0 -
That squish sounds REALLY good!!!0

Root vegetables: take turnips, carrots, onions, potatoes (sweet or regular) and roast them for 30-45 minutes in the oven at 375. Sometimes I do this with squash and cucumber diced thinly. Add some no sodium seasoning and a dab of olive oil before you bake.0
