Side Recipes

This granola is a great base recipe that you can add to to make it your own. It is fortified with wheat germ but still tastes great. You'll see from my measurements I approximate a lot of it and it still turns out great. (add honey, vanilla and apple sauce to taste- I like mine on the sweeter side)

This recipe was my friend's idea, I can't take all of the credit for this one. It's simple, fast, and so impressive!
I will upload a photo later.

Easiest yummy veggie serving

This is a delicious side dish or can have as main meal. For lower calories, use turkey bacon instead.

Quick fulfilling side dish or meal

Perfect match for any kind of meat, tasty, easy to do and really simple!

I just modified some other recipes I saw online tonight because these are the ingredients I had available. :) My kids and I loved it, my meat and potatoes hubby was like, "eh.."

This is a great salad full of veggies and flavor. I divide the salad into smaller portions as a side salad but sometimes I eat it as a dinner salad and add chopped chicken breast to round out the meal. It's full of flavor and sure to be a quick favorite!

A very nice sweet w/ out Sugar recipe.
This will be wonderful for diabetics like me~!

This is all in one dinner or lunch.All you need to do is add a dressing of your liking to your cal and fat count. I did not add that into the Nutritional INFO.This meal takes about 15 min to make. It's a fast and easy. It tastes great and its very filling. It's low fat and very, very filling.

FYI:
1) Move over butter is very low in fat and cals
and works great in this recipe it has 6 gms of fat and 50 cals pre tbsp . I think if you try you will find it very rich creamy and smooth. It is as close as you can get to the real taste of the real thing. Buttttttter umm how I miss it.

Great as a snack or light meal.

From Allrecipes.com, a different type of side dish.

I I found a similar recipe on allrecipes.com and modified it a little to lower the fat and calorie content.

Baking is a good way to get a lot of vegetables. It is a low calorie yet very filling, healthy, and warm salad that can be served as a main dish or side dish.

Adapted from Bon Appetit's February 2011 recipe (http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/quick-r
ecipes/2011/02/sunny_side_up_eggs_on_m
ustard_creamed_spinach_with_crispy_crumbs). The amount of olive oil has been reduced, and the half-and-half that was called for has been replaced with almond milk, which lends it a delicious, lightly nutty flavor.

Side salad can easily feed 2 people though the calories are so little why not fill up and enjoy.

It's tangy and delish to go with many dishes. I love it with my fish, enchiladas, and on my beans too. Delicious by itself.

This is a great outdoor bbq dinner

"Very flavorful alternative to black beans and rice. Quinoa is a nutty grain from South America."

Nice to use leftover rice in; for chinese meal, add some soy sauce and omit salt and pepper.

One of the easiest ways to lighten up a pasta dish is to add tons of protein and vegetables to your dish which keeps the portions large and the carbs low and this dish is a perfect example. Be sure to be generous with your Cajun spices, it should have plenty of kick so don't be shy! (Skinnytaste.com)

Peruvian eat legums in many ways, especially as a side dish. This is a tasty one. Super simple and healthy. I like to make a small onion salsa to top it off with, as seen here. In Peru I remember eating this a lot with grilled fish and of course white rice (here served with 1/2 cup of brown) and a salad.

Best side dish substitute when you are not having potatoes or rice.
