Baked Mac & Cheese side dish ideas
Today is C's bday so I'm making him homemade baked macaroni and cheese. Kind of a weird birthday dinner, but he was kind of craving it last week and I never make this kind of food, so it's a treat.
What do you usually serve as side dishes for Mac & Cheese? (Something meat-free.)
Re: Baked Mac & Cheese side dish ideas
I wouldn't say he has favorite vegetables - he just has ones that he tolerates.
Fine, that's not entirely true, but I'm allergic to the veggies he likes most.
I was thinking maybe spinach. But hopefully something a bit different than what I usually do. (Saute with garlic and olive oil.)

I would do a salad... something light. Roasted broccoli maybe?
I dont really eat side-dishes with mac & cheese unless the mac & cheese is served as a side dish. I think if I'm going to make it and indulge, that's pretty much it for me. I do throw cauliflower or broccoli into the recipe a lot though.

I would do a light green salad. A recent favorite of mine is mixed spring greens with shredded carrots, shredded beets, and sesame seeds dressed lightly with lemon juice, olive oil, and balsalmic vinegar.
I also LOVE broccoli and/or peas whenever I eat Mac & Cheese. I usually just mix them into the M&C directly, but steamed on the side would be nice too.
I'll try just throwing some peas in there and calling it a day. Less work that way anyway!
Thanks for the ideas!

Mac and cheese sounds so unbelievably good right now, yummmm
Happy birthday C!
I think broccoli goes well with Mac & Cheese, but C might leave me if I made it for his birthday. He really hates it and might even be a bit sensitive to it.
