What's your favorite side dishes?

I love baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes but I don't eat them often since my kids don't like potatoes that much.

We eat a lot of rice. One of the ladies from FamilyCorner turned me on to Jasmine rice. We love it! We also eat a lot of pasta. (BAAAAD for my hips!)

My dh loves pasta. I like it too.

Sweet potatoes are favorites and also scalloped potatoes.

We eat almost all veggies. Love cole slaw. Also califlower and broccoli salad.

We don't eat pasta as a side, only as a meal, but we do love pasta

I'm pretty boring with side dishes. Seems like so much work goes into the "meat" of the meal, that the side dish tends to be boring. Our usuals include potatoes (mashed, baked, boiled, fried), flavored rice, white rice, boxed au gratin potatoes, and some sort of canned veggie. Occasionally, like tonight, we will have fresh steamed broccoli with cheese sauce.

I'd actually love to try some new side dishes, so if anyone wants to share... Hint!

With meat our sides usually include a vegetable (we love a wide variety of vegetables) and usually either potato (baked, mashed, scalloped, french fries, fried) or basamati rice, or a boxed rice like rice pilaf or Zatarains black beans& rice. Once in awhile we will have baked beans or mac n cheese as a side but not often. If it is a pasta dish (which is usually a main meal) we will have a side salad or coleslaw

We like raw veggies,such as broccoli,cauliflower,carrots... and an onion dip as our side dish...I make a macaroni dish with elbow macaroni,spaghetti sauce and diced tomato's...with that we have chicken...

Hubby is a big eater and I usually end up cooking for 2 or 3 meals at once...

Depends on the meat dish as to my fave side dish. Roast veg and gravy with roast, salads, rice or pasta,... to hard to pick a fave overall

In the summer, we often have raw veggies or pasta salad or a green salad as a side. Cold sides are great in hot weather.
