Abigail’s pick: Butternut Squash Soup
“This soup is a staple at my Thanksgiving usually served during the appetizers! Not only is it a cozy way to start the delicious holiday meal but it is packed with Vitamin A and Vitamin C. You can even top it with some pumpkin seeds for some added nutrients. My tip: to save on time pick up already sliced butternut squash and roast for about 25-35 minutes.” -Abigail
Katie’s pick: Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Ingredients:
10 oz shaved Brussels sprouts
1 tbsp olive oil
4 gloves of garlic
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
½ cup of non-fat plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp. water
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray. Toss brussels sprouts in olive oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. While the brussels sprouts are cooking, combine Dijon mustard, greek yogurt, and 1 tbsp of water. Once brussels sprouts are fully cooked, drizzle mustard sauce over top and serve immediately.
“This is one of my favorite side dishes because it packs a lot of fiber and contains some heart healthy fats – it will be sure to satisfy your taste buds and your stomach!” -Katie
Mary’s pick: Cornbread Stuffing (gluten-free)
“This recipe is gluten-free for anyone who wants a classic stuffing recipe but without the food sensitivities – it uses cornbread instead of white bread and tastes amazing!” -Mary
Julie’s pick: Apple, Quinoa & Almond Kale Salad
“I love a sweet and savory salad at the holidays, and this one doesn’t disappoint! I’ll go a little extra with the kale to give it tons of color. I make extra for leftovers and pair it with either poultry or fish to enjoy it beyond holiday meals!” -Julie
