Side Dishes
Y'all...Don't forget the Sides! Side dishes are the easy way to balance out your meal, provide an alternative for picky kids, and elevate a simple meal.
I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to do is fix a whole other "meal" if my kids magically decide they don't like the main dish. If you have sweet little angels like mine who sometimes like to morph into salty dragons and throw down over your dinner choice, fixing them another meal might happen often. Fail. But, if I can cook a meal with at least one side, preferably two, that I know everyone loves, I can save that fight for another time.
Admittedly, balance is something I am consistently working on in every area of our lives. But when I pick a few winners for side dishes:
- My life is easier, plain and simple
- Our meal is more nutritionally rounded
- We usually have leftovers for later weeknight dinners
- I feel like I have succeeded at least once for the day
Win, win, win, and win. Our Farmhouse 181 winning side dish recipes fit the bill. Check them out, add them to your meal plan, and enjoy with little fuss!
And don't be shy about doubling that recipe to save you time for the rest of your busy week. Another win!
