80 Vegetable Side Dish Recipes {and a Challenge Update}

As we strive to increase our intake of vegetables during the vegetable eating challenge (and beyond), it becomes necessary to plan out meals and side dishes in a little more detail.

No more adding a token amount of warmed up frozen veggies to our plates as an after thought. No! We are intentionally making vegetables a part of our lives.

In order to help us plan ahead so we can all consume an abundance of delicious veggies, I'm sharing over 60 healthy vegetable side dish recipes today! Yes. 60. No chance of getting bored.

This ought to keep us busy for a while . . .

Happy Veggie Eating!

(Don't forget to give me an update on your veggie challenge this week. I've shared mine at the bottom of this post.)
