Simple Sides - Vegetables

I made the following list of instructions for simple vegetable sides for my husband because he's been cooking a little lately.  I absolutely love eating home-made food that I didn't cook myself so I wanted to make it easy for him to do it often!

The list is of my staple vegetable side dishes that I use if I'm making a simple chicken, fish, or all veggie meal.  Most of them just require great produce, some olive oil and salt, and and a little practice to know exactly when the vegetables are cooked just right.  They are all very quick and easy to make.  In my opinion, there's no reason to potchky with things that are already so good on their own.

Today I decided to ignore the heat, blast the air conditioning, and cook a nice dinner for two.

We've been eating out in air-conditioned restaurants or eating things that don't require cooking for a while now, which has been nice, but with the long weekend I really had an itch to cook.
