Side Dishes to Drool Over

I've been making some new-to-me side dishes to see what trips my palate trigger. Different types of starches are easy to mix with poultry, beef, fish, and sauteed veggies- like quinoa, couscous, risotto, orzo, pierogies, and polenta; and let the fun begin. I like adding some cheese and seasonings for creaminess and flavor. Those side dishes have become tastier than the main dish. Try 'em all, branch out, take risks! Life is short!
