Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Red Onions with Balsamic Vinegar by kat

Thanksgiving is around the corner and I wanted to share some skinny in-season side dishes. I swoon over brussels sprouts and they supply you with vitamin C. This side dish can be prepared a day prior by trimming and quartering the brussels sprouts and slicing the onions up. It's guilt free because it's a low-cal & low-fat side dish!

Risotto is an elegant Italian rice dish made by stirring hot stock into a mixture of rice and sometimes onions, shallots, or garlic that have been sautéed in butter.

Grilled Romaine

Grilled Romaine by Robyn Medlin

Grilled romaine is a best kept secret – it gets better and sweeter on the grill. I often do this as a side, but it makes a great main course with grilled chicken added, seafood, roasted peppers, etc. You can get really creative with this! What is nice is that you can do everything on the grill together which eliminates the need to go…
