I almost feel silly posting this, but sometimes I have trouble thinking of side items! So, here are some of the stand bys that I use:
Mixed frozen veggies
Sprinkled with seasoned salt and a sprinkle of shredded parmesan cheese
Honey-glazed carrots
I think it's Green Giant brand. These are SO good!!! Comes in a small box in the freezer section.
Greens beans with almonds
I think this is also Green Giant brand - small box in the freezer section.
Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes
Okay, I'm probably revealing a deep-dark secret. But I NEVER make mashed potatoes from scratch. I really like the boxed Betty Crocker brand - butter/herb, garlic, and their 4-cheese scalloped potatoes.
Lipton or Pasta-Roni rice/pasta
Any assorted canned, fresh, or frozen veggies
