I haven't blown my horn about it a lot but sweet hubby and I have been low carbing it for a few weeks. Time to drop some chub and low carb has been the most successful way for us to do that so far. It isn't dramatic this time, but we have been wicked as all get out on weekends and still see a downward trend. That's all I ask for, a wicked leeway and results :>)
At any rate, we soon tire of plain vegetables and so I headed to Pinterest for some inspiration.
This recipe for Sweet Chili Green Beans with Bacon caught my eye and we made it last night.
It was really good! It called for two poblano peppers and not knowing how hot they were I only added one. Next time I would go ahead and use both, they aren't hot at all. It also calls for Siracha sauce in a fairly small amount, but I think I would cut that down by about 1/2. Not that they were bad, I just feel you would be able to taste the other ingredients better without all the heat. If you want to try this yourself, the recipe can be found at
Healthy Indulgences. I love veggies but I admit I haven't been as adventurous in experimenting with vegetable side dish recipes as I should be which means I end up not eating as many as I should! Now is a good time to start building my Pinterest veggie board.
What's your favorite veggie side dish? I would love to know!

This sounds really good Kathy! Thanks for sharing it on Tasty Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteFavorite veggie dish....hmmmm. Well I loved the Cauliflower Gratin I did the other day, but that is high in calories...lol
I must be following that board, but I'll check. John and I say that it is time to lose some chub, too. We're still in the talking about it phase.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious. I love vegetables and will definitely add this one to my own Pinterest board.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, that sounds very tasty. I love vegetables and wouldnt find it too hard to be vegetarian.....I think!
ReplyDeleteOh YUM! I am going to try this. Where do you find the Sirachi sauce in the grocery store? And...have you found any good low carb Pinterest boards?
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
That does look yummy. I was wondering too where you find the Sirachi sauce. My favorite veggie side dish is broccoli and carrots steamed, seasoned with salt and pepper. Very simple but sooo good and healthy for my diabetic husband.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great alternative to plain green beans! Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteI love trying new recipes with vegetables! This one looks extra delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy! I need to lose some chub but have no motivation what.so.ever. Hope you are keeping warm. Can't believe we got more snow!
ReplyDeleteLooks great....green beans aren't my thing but this sound pretty good.:)
ReplyDeleteYummmm! That sounds very good. I'd love to hear more about your low carb experiences. I've been successful with weight loss in the past with low carb - but I need to get going again. Would love to 'talk' to you about ideas and possibilities.
