We grill a lot in the summer -- fish, chicken, burgers, sausages etc so the main food for dinner is pretty easy to figure out. But I am getting so stuck in a rut for what to make each night as a side. I basically rotate between corn on the cob, sweet potato fries, green salad, grilled zucchini, and an avocado/tomato/corn salad. I'm bored of them and so are DH and LO.
What sides do you serve in the summer?

We do a lot of corn on the cob (I just boil it - keep it simple!), asparagus (I cook at 400, brush with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and black pepper - delish); and zucchini in various forms! Also, an easy way to do potatoes is in the crock pot.
Tonight a local restaurant has a deal, any entree for $12.99 so we are going and getting huge steaks!! I'm 31 weeks pregnant and borderline anemic and my doctor told me to.
