Hi Dawn this is what our family does: steam all veggies, use brown rice, slice pototoes and bake them,make the nite before a pasta salad using low cal Italin dressing and whole wheat noodles add tomatos and what ever you like in it,fetta cheese is good! cut acorn squash in half and put low cal butter and spices into them and bake (yummy) plan ol cottage cheese and carb fruit is great as well. These are some of the things we eat for sides. Hope it helps.
