aggieamy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here's the challenge. We're having dinner for my book club tomorrow night. I know I want to do a baked potato bar but am at a loss for toppings and side dishes. The toppings need to be vegetarian and if it was stuff I could make a little ahead of time that would be great. So far I've got shedded cheese and cottage cheese. Kind of boring. Green salad or fruit salad as a side dish? Something else? Help! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd do green & fruit salad. Broccoli, veggie chili, and sour cream for toppings. (and I think you have a typo in your title :) ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 vegetarian chili sour cream, chives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I like the title as is. Describes a lot of the meals I make. Topic? I'd go with flavor profiles. Mix some tamari with ponzu vinegar, pea pods, shredded cabbage. Salsa, black beans, and goat cheese. Lettuce, tomato, and whatever vegetarian substitute for bacon you can come up with. Green salad sounds like a good choice for a side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigs Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 How could you forget plain ol' butter? (My 1st thought was bacon, but then I read your post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasharowan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd do green & fruit salad. Broccoli, veggie chili, and sour cream for toppings. (and I think you have a typo in your title :) ). I read it as Well Trained Foodie Chefs. :) Broccoli, those crispy Chinese food things (kinda like a fried pasta), chopped green onions, pretty much any salad topping can be a potato topping. I've seen people use salsa before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieamy Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Ah. Yes. I think I do need a proofreader for all most posts and titles now. :tongue_smilie: Thank you all for the fantastic suggestion. I did darn near all of them and it was like locusts coming through my kitchen once everyone topped their potatoes. Now I want to do it all again because it was so much fun.
