He sounds like an *******.
I hope so. I hope there wasn't any cat in my leftovers.
The sauce keeps that from happening.
Both.

I love butternut squash cubed tossed in EVOO, rosemary, and cinnamon and baked.

Roasted veggies of all kinds!
Yellow squash, sliced thinly, salted and baked on a cookie sheet! Although, this would never survive my constant sampling so this isn’t a “shared” dish.
Brussels sprouts, quartered, and roasted with tiny pieces of potatoes. I especially love to coat it with oil and onion powder before roasting.
Perhaps green beans amandine, or garlic roasted green beans.
Creamed spinach!
Or maybe take a creamy asparagus soup?
I’m not too fond of cranberry, but I do like to crack open a pomegranate and waste an entire hour of my life picking those damn little tedious seeds to go with dinner.
I get a little ramped up about vegetables

Sub out the bacon for prosciutto. You will thank me later.
I always pictured you with big forearms with anchor tattoos on them.
Nah - I'd just ruin them .. .
Just Steam them ..... we just cook them in the microwave until tender
Cottage Pie then
Ground Beef - fry it up
Instant Mashed Potatoes - cooked up
Corn
Layer and Bake

There is nothing more boring on a table than steamed veggies.
I love roasted veggies. Carrots/Parsnips are two of my favorites. Could eat them every day!Roasted veggies of all kinds!

Just saw a recipe for using Au Gratin Potatoes on top of the Shepherd's Pie. Can't wait to try!
But crispy roasted veggies are the sh*t.
I'm thinking crispy roasted brussel sprouts in the airfryer with bacon and a balsamic drizzle. So thanks to @wittykitty and whoever else suggested it.
How about carrots? I often would serve variations of the Copper Pennies or Golden Coins recipe, such as:

You sure will! Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies. Prosciutto wrapped asparagus has become my signature dish and am always asked to bring it to potlucks and cookouts.
Tangy Carrot Coins
Tangy Carrot Coins give a popular nutritious vegetable a new twist, remarks Lois Stephen from Mt. Morris, Michigan. "This colorful side dish is as easy to fix as plain carrots, but the light, creamy coating makes them extra yummy," she adds.

I used to make an Orange/ginger glazed carrot. Hubby keep asking me to make it again. Maybe I'll do that instead of squash.How about carrots? I often would serve variations of the Copper Pennies or Golden Coins recipe, such as:

One of our family side dish traditions for Christmas is Tomato Aspic. It goes great with ham, chicken or turkey. My mom would make this for us every year and after she died my sister and I decided to carry the torch. The first Christmas, it turned out perfect, as though mom was in the kitchen with us, guiding us through each step. The next two years, not so good. We kept ending up with a pot of warm tomato juice with strings of gelatin. So basically, our new Tomato Aspic tradition is just seeing if we can actually make the damn stuff!
