5 Easy and Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes
T- 1 day until Turkey Day and there is no need to stress over healthy options for dinner!
Here’s a quick round-up of some healthy dishes that are easy to prepare, so all you have to worry about is getting stuffed and spending time with loved ones.
This simple side of colorful roasted carrots gets big appeal from toasted spices and a hint of spicy harissa sauce. It’s delicious at room temperature, making it convenient for a holiday buffet or as a potluck dish. Serve with a dollop of tangy Greek yogurt to add a cooling creaminess and balance. In the picture above, I followed this recipe for inspiration, but used ingredients I had on hand. So, everything but the bagel seasoning instead of the mentioned seeds, turmeric (because I always add turmeric), and I did not use spicy harissa sauce. Let me know which variation you try!
Nutritious Life Brussels Sprouts (with a kick)
Brussels sprouts are an incredible source of folate, potassium, B vitamins, manganese, and many other nutrients. They’re also crunchy and taste amazing with warming fall and winter flavors and dishes. As soon as the weather starts getting cold, it’s time to eat them every which way (except for steamed into mush): roasted, sauteed, and shaved into salads. Here’s an easy way to make them - I also like to add goat cheese, dried cranberries and almonds into the mix. SO. GOOD.
