Have a steak for night need side ideas

Bake a sweet potato! Add a little low fat butter, yummy!!

Sweet potato mash
Quinoa pilaff
Brocoli and peas, sauteed in garlicky olive oil
Ratatouille

Steamed veggies, like brocolli with lemon juice, snow peas.

I have a great reciepe for cauliflower that is like a double stuffed baked potatoe.

take a head of Cauliflower and clean out most of the core.

Put in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Steam for about 5 minutes in the microwave

In another bowl add about a 1/4 cup to a 1/2 a cup of Light Mayo with about 2 teaspoons of mustard and a finly chopped onion. After you have steamed the cauliflower be careful and pull back the plastic wrap the steam will scalud you. Pour the mayo mixture over the top an and about 2 cups of shredded lowfat chedder cheese then cover again and microwave for about another 2 minutes till the cheese is melted. Salt and pepper to taste.

Red potatoes, quartered, seasoned with rosemary and a little black pepper, cooked stovetop in light sweet cream butter done al-dente. Top with a little fresh parsley or cilantro to garnish.

Grilled corn is also a good one.

Steaks are pretty heavy so I like something light to go with them. Roasted broccoli and/or cauliflower, sauted green beans and mushrooms, steamed or sauted greens w garlic, cabbage and jicama slaw w horseradish dressing. Something along those lines.

Bacon wrapped scallops.

HONEY PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

INGREDIENTS:
1 Bundle Fresh Asparagus
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
2 Tbsp Honey
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and asparagus spears, then add the honey. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until asparagus is tender. Place on serving dish and top with shredded Parmesan cheese.

HELPFUL TIPS:
This dish can be adapted to taste. You can add extra olive oil. If you want it sweeter, add more honey. If you prefer it cheesier, you can add more cheese. I prefer my asparagus well done so I tend to cook it a little bit longer.

creamed cauliflower: a little non fat milk, butter (i use i can't believer its not butter light), garlic salt, pepper (any other seasonings you would like). steam the cauliflower til its a bit mushy. remove from steamer and blend together with above ingredients.

spaghetti squash is also AWESOME!

Roasted cherry tomatoes - Just drizzle with olive oil, balsamic and salt+pepper. Broil on high (baking sheet with foil) until they burst and the edges char. The juice and tomatoes are amazing on taters and meat.


Do you like eggplant? Because this recipe blew my mind. Would be amazing with grilled steak and brown rice. Just drizzle the sauce all over your meal. yummm
