At dinnertime, we are pretty traditional – meat, veggies, and a starch side dish. Our favorite starchy sides include mashed potatoes, rice, creamy pasta, and macaroni and cheese. I especially like macaroni and cheese with chicken, either grilled or fried. Sometimes I make the “blue box” mac-o-cheese (as my husband calls it), but lately I’ve been making Velveeta Shells & Cheese. When I make steamed carrots or broccoli as the veggie, I like to dip them in the creamy Velveeta sauce!
Velveeta very generously sent me a huge box of goodies to help me make my own “Best Side of Dinner”, and they are giving TWO MomReviews readers the same items, worth a whopping $125 each! They are calling this the “Best Side of Dinner Challenge”, the challenge is for YOU, my dear readers, to tell me what you think is the “best side of dinner”! Here’s what the two winners will receive:

yummmy !let me try this in the dinner its
Ya it’s very best…..& thanks for sharing it….
I like to take vegetables like zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms,onions, and garlic. I grill them, let them cool, toss them with fresh basil, baslamic vinegar, a little olive oil, crack black pepper and toss it all together. It makes a really good side dish.

Food is certainly important, but even more so is the chance to be with family and friends. Conversation seems to flow more freely around the dinner table, even with teenagers. The time spent in other’s company is priceless, and I relish every moment.

My favorite side of dinner is the conversation with the kids. Who needs to eat when you can hear your kids tell you all about their day.
My favorites are always the appetizer, like spinach dip

The best “side dish” of dinner is the music! Growing up, my mom always played Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, or the soundtrack to Sleepless in Seattle. Random selection, but I can still sing all the songs to this day.

The best side of dinner to me is going around the table and asking what everyone’s high and low of the day was…It’s a great way to find out about each other’s day!

I have to agree that spending time around the table is priceless! Unplugging and just spending time talking is important to family health. Also, it is a great opportunity for me to teach my girls proper table manners. I agree that around the table, everyone tends to share more, and I would not give anything for my family dinner time!
