So far on this blog I have shared a number of recipes but I have neglected SIDE DISHES! Side dishes should enhance your entree and they play a part in balanced eating; especially considering that according to the Canada Food Guide; proteins should only account for 1/4 of your plates and grain only 1/4 of your plates –the remaining half should be composed of fruits and vegetables. Today, I’ll be sharing with you some side dish sensations so you can give your plating some much needed attention!
