I am finding that we are stuck on eating potatoes or rice. When I cook chicken, pork chops, fish or beef, what are some other alternatives when it comes to side dishes?

My husband isn't a picky eater, but he isn't into cous-cous or anything like that. Thanks.

alot of people think that pasta dishes are main courses , but you can use them as side dishes , such as, using your favorite pasta with your favorite sauce. mac and cheese is a good one . if you need any recipes let me know. good luck!

Pasta Side Dishes For Fish

There are a ton of side dishes out there. All types of veggies, pastas, stuffings, etc. even mixing them up can be a treat, try cooking rice with a half cup of salsa thrown in. or instead of mashed potatoes, try mashed sweet potatoes. Cook pasta with some light olive oil, parmesan cheese and grilled veggies.
Below is my favorite side dish recipe site. Enjoy!

I use pasta equally with rice and potatoes. Sometimes its just bow ties with a bit of butter, salt and pepper. Sometimes its pasta alfredo with cream and freshly grated parmesan. And of course there's the good old standby macaroni and cheese
Another healthy alternative is to warm or bake a loaf of really good crusty bread and make a big salad to go with your grilled, broiled or sauteed meat. My husband and son are big eaters and like that as much as the "meat-potatoes-veggie" type meals.

Macaroni and cheese or some other kind of pasta.
Cucumber and tomato salad (but that's better in summer when they are all fresh).
Corn bread, biscuits or dinner rolls.
Baked corn is a good option.

Try making "club sandwiches".
Open sandwiches with lots of good things on....
Chicken, pork chops, (meat only), beef bits, and so on.
Usually rye bread holds out better, but normal bread will work.
Also;
Cut a loaf of normal bread in to three parts.
Use the crust sides and hollow out.
In the hollow, place curried beef cubes.
Make it a really nice curry with potatoes, green beans and so on...
Serve like that, in the hollow of the bread.
Its called a Bunny Chow and is the local staple diet in Durban South Africa....
Its a cultural exchange thing.....
Try it...

I'm assuming you're not looking for veggie ideas and strickly want a starch replacement for your rice and taters. How about stove-top stuffing. Or Pasta. or ganash. or rizzoto. or squash, or yams.

Pastas...macaroni and cheese, macaroni and veggies, macaroni and various sauces (garlic-butter, etc) **substitute macaroni for other shapes of pasta for variety **can substitute regular egg noodles, etc. with spinach/veggie noodles for a healthier diet
Dressings...cornbread dressing, oyster dressing, bread dressing, sage dressing, pork dressing, etc.
Salads...fruit or veggie...you can be adventurous here

In Italy pasta dishes are the main, before the second course...not a side.

Cous-cous goes well with chicken and fish. When I make a steak, I often make some angel hair pasta with garlic and olive oil.
