New Years New Sides

Welcome to 2017!  We know it’s easy to overindulge during the holidays, which is why in January the most common resolution is to eat healthier.  A really simple way to start is by looking at your plate and making sure that half of it is always filled with fruits and veggies.  The best way to do that is with some absolutely delicious side dishes.  Here are a few of our favourite new side dishes to fill half your plate!
