I'm making homemade chicken fingers for my neighbors (only the kids and mom will be eating).

I'm making a simple pasta salad as a side and snickerdoodles for dessert.

I need another side.

What would you make?

Fruit salad or veggie plate.

Fruit Salad? Strawberries, grapes, bananas, and maybe a pint of bluuberries. Kids love fruit-- it would balance it out with the other starches. Your other option would be a veggie -- maybe broccoli and raisin salad with a sweet dressing. Just a thought.

How are you feeling these days???

I always make either bbq beans or corn on the cob.
Yummy

I always make oven roasted rosemary/herb green beans and red potatoes (quartered) to go with chicken fingers. :)

Either a fruit salad, brownies (oh, these don't count as a side, do they? lol)
or a nice green salad that mom can have for lunch the next day.
Here's one I love:

Bowl of Romaine, or a head of green or red leaf lettuce
About .5 cup of red grapes, cut in half
Small packet (like you get in the baking aisle) of pine nuts (.5 cup?)
8 oz feta

Mix together. Dress with this:

.5 c olive oil
.25 c balsamic vinegar
pinch of salt, garlic powder, onion powder
Mix and spread as wanted on salad

make a salad, but we love salad at our house.

Can I be your neighbor? Your meal sounds yummy!

Does the pasta salad have veggies in it? If not, you could add some kind of veggies - fresh veggies would be easy.

If the pasta salad already has veggies, I'd add some kind of fruit. Or to be really honest, since I love fruit, I'd probably add fruit either way. :)
