Sides. Often an afterthought in dinner planning, always a supporting actor, and never a lead. It’s a shame since there’s so many ways to prepare sides to make them more “star worthy.” I’m 100% guilty of this, as I habitually get wrapped up in the entrée portion of dinner, and just end up throwing a bundle of asparagus or broccoli into the oven with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Of course, it’s delicious, but is it memorable?? Not really.
