Planning a Thanksgiving dinner that is both healthy and satisfying can be tricky. Check out my favorite dishes for Thanksgiving that will satisfy veg-heads and comfort-foodies alike!
I could post a different zucchini recipe everyday for the rest of the summer. I never tire of eating summer squash. On these long summer days I hate to spend my time indoors, so I find myself sticking to simple recipes like this that I can pull together in thirty minutes. And when the produce is as good as it is in the summer, it doesn't take much to make a delicious meal.
Growing up as a vegetarian on Thanksgiving, there was always Chelsea's food and everyone else's food. And while I do like steamed vegetables, it seemed like that was always the only option for me other than rice. As an adult, I love having Thanksgiving as an opportunity to make vegetarian dishes that the whole family (meat-eaters included) will enjoy. This Butternut Squash Orecchiette is the perfect side dish to win over any picky eater. I have included the vegan and gluten free variations in the recipe as well so that everyone can enjoy it.
This week I'm switching things up. Switching blogs that is. I will be sharing my recipe for Turnip Oven Fries & Raw Avocado Dip on Straightforward Nutrition's website and Linn will be sharing her salad recipe here! Linn creates delicious healthy recipes and has great advice on how to live a healthy vibrant life. I'll let her tell you a little bit about herself:
A diet that doesn't leave room for french fries simply will not work for me. Fries are delicious. There is no way around it. And while I sometime need the real thing (never from fast food restaurants though), other times I can make healthy substitutes to satisfy my craving. I created this recipe for Turnip Fries for Linn at Straightforward Nutrition. Check it out and check out Linn's delicious recipes. And the raw avocado dip is amazing on everything, so try it!
