for a Dijon Crusted Filet Mignon? Looking for a potato and a vegtable.

This will be for a dinner party where there will be some veggie-heads. So the side dishes will be for them in addition to a full head of steamed cauliflower for each veggie-head with melted vegan cheese over it. I'm putting them at a separate table so they can talk diet and nutrients.|||baby carrots with a basil/butter glaze

sweet green peas with pearl onions with or without a white sauce

steamed snow peas with a ginger glaze

white rice with fresh peas

white rice with black beans (well rinsed first)

rice-a-roni|||mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, baked potatoes, french fries, mozzarella/tomato/basil salad, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches????|||Oooh...baked or scalloped potatoes and green/yellow squash or asparagus.|||Even people who say they don't like spinach, usually like a spinach souffle. Stauffers makes a pretty good frozen one, if you want something fast and easy. You could buy some, microwave them, and just heat them up later.
Have fun at your party!!|||glazed carrots and mashed potato|||potatoes vesuvio -- this is some serious italian via chicago stuff --

you cut about 3 lbs small to medium potatoes into wedges (1/6ths or 1/8ths) and brown them really well in some olive oil. add about 6 cloves of garlic minced and a big teaspoon of oregano and salt and pepper and brown a few more minutes. some people like using hot pepper flakes in it -- i usually don't.

in the mean time cook about 8 oz of frozen baby butter beans or butter peas in water until they are tender -- its about 25 mins.

also defrost a package of frozen quartered artichoke hearts.

ok back to the potatoes -- get about 2/3 cup chicken broth and 2/3 cup white wine and pour them over the potatoes and add the butter beans and artichokes. -- let it steam up for about 10 minutes and its done. you can leave it sitting around a long time covered and warm on your stove.

i have substituted marsala for white wine and its better flavored.|||french fries over bacon and cheese(u can put bacon bits instead of whole bacon if u want to) then POUR ranch dressing over it. be sure to put this on a BIG plate...these are very good. they are at CottonPatch cafe.......but u can make ur own.....|||For a totally homey, classic dish, you have to consider green bean casserole! Reminds me of childhood (even though my mom hardly ever made it!) ps. I've never tried it with the cheese or peppers like they say on the recipe, but I almost double the onions. My whole family loves those fried onions.
