Before we put the gas pedal on Christmas cheer, we wanted to make sure we highlight our favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. I know 2020 has not been ideal and this holiday season might be different for some, so we wanted to give you some new recipes to try. Many families will not be travelling this year which is upsetting, we know, but to look at it in a positive light, this might be the year to try that new healthy dish for you and your family to enjoy!   

  1. The Healthy Green Bean Casserole – who doesn’t love green bean casserole? Now usually this is made with cream of mushroom but this recipe calls for a lighter base for the cream sauce. You don’t want to be too full for dessert! (https://www.delish.com/holiday-recipes/thanksgiving/a23011385/best-healthy-green-bean-casserole-recipe/ ) 
  1. Cauliflower Stuffing – We have been seeing a cauliflower trend when it comes to replacing bread this year. This recipe allows you to still have the amazing flavors of the spices and herbs from stuffing! How amazing is that?! As a stuffing lover, I would most certainly give this a try.

  1. Balsamic Roasted Veggies – Veggies at our table is a must! This recipe calls for brussels sprouts and carrots, but you can certainly add your favorite veggies to the mix. If you have an air fryer, this will be the easiest dish to put together. Combine the veggies with some dried cranberries and pecans, and you have yourself the perfect roasted dish.

There is also the option to make the signature dressing for some extra flavor. (https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a23362341/sweet-potato-salad-recipe/ )
