I think a rice pilaf made with the wild rice and white rice, onions,
garlic, chicken broth, etc, would be nice. I also think the steamed
broccoli would be nice, maybe I'm boring. You could slow sautee the
broccoli with some sliced winter squash in olive oil and herbs as a side
dish. I'd serve all of that with some mixed greens and a vinaigrette.
I also like the idea of baked sweet potatoes.
