Side Dishes
When I was a child, the side dishes that were served at my house were quite limited. We almost always had rice or mashed potatoes. When it came to vegetables, it was peas and carrots, or a sliced tomato. That's about it.
But side dishes can be so varied and interesting. Over the years, I've developed a large collection of delicious, easy and healthy sides.
If you tolerate a moderate amount of carbs and grains, try quinoa or lentil salad. Microwave sweet potato is a paleo favorite - quick, easy and nutritious.
Other wonderful, low carb sides include fried cauliflower "rice,", cabbage pancakes with a spicy dipping sauce, and eggplant caprese.
You don't need to master hundreds of side dishes, but a few good ones can keep your meals interesting and varied.
Most importantly, never assume that you must choose between "tasty" and "healthy" - both can happily coexist!
