Some of My Favorite Sides

Frozen French Cut Green Beans
-I prepare these by microwave. I add a bit of salt(for those with low Blood pressure) and some spray butter before heating.

Mashed Cauliflower
-Steam one head of cauliflower(approx 3-4 cups), then blend in food processor with 2 Tbsp. spray butter, 2 tsp milk, and a pinch of salt and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Cesar Salad (without the Chicken)
-Directions listed below in recipe.

Steamed Broccoli
-I put my broccoli in a pan with about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. Cover pan with a lid and turn heat to medium for about 3 minutes. Turn heat to simmer/low for another 6-10 min until cooked to desired softness. When done add spray butter and a pinch of salt.

Steamed Brussel Sprouts
-Cook the same as broccoli, but add garlic for flavor.

Broiled Asparagus
-Turn broiler on high. Prepare Asparagus by snapping bottoms of stems. Toss with 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and garlic salt to taste. Lay flat on cookie sheet and broil about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye on asparagus to not overcook the tips. Roll asparagus halfway through cooking time to evenly cook it.

Deviled Eggs
3 peeled hard boiled eggs
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil mayonnaise
2 tsp yellow mustard
salt, to taste
paprika to garnish

Cut eggs in half, lengthwise. Remove the yolks, and mash with mayo, mustard, and salt. Spoon the mixture back into the egg whites. Garnish eggs with a light sprinkle of paprika.
