What's a good side dish to go with Rib Eye?!
In the past, I've done potatoes au gratin and Tuscan potatoes - but I'm looking for some new ideas. Other potato dishes are ok, but I'm open to other ideas as well.
Or should I do the garlic cheese toast as a side, and do something different for the appitizer?
Answers: I'm making grilled Rib Eye tonight - no fancy marinades or sauces, just salt & pepper with some garlic butter on top. I'm planning garlic cheese toast as an appetizer.

Well with something that heavy you should go with something light and healthy...
Blanched Asparagus with carmalized baby onions and carrots....It will compliment both the cheese toast and the rib eye...

1 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 shallots, diced

How about some good ol' coleslaw?!
Risotto, and maybe either broccoli coleslaw or brussel's sprouts.
Before you say "Ew!" to the sprouts, try fixing them fresh instead of frozen or canned. Remove a bit from the stem end, and cut in half lengthwise. Heat 1/2" of water and a tablespoon or so of kosher salt over medium-high heat until boiling, and add the brussels cut-side down and boil for about 3 minutes. Drain, then heat a tablespoon each of butter and bacon grease in a skillet, toss in some garlic, then add the brussels and saute, cut-side down, until they start to brown just a touch. Serve with a bit of fresh lemon juice squirted over them.
Cheese twice baked potatoes. You can make them up ahead of time then 15 minutes before dinner put them into a hot oven (425) with grated cheese on top and heat until brown.
