Healthy Thanksgiving Side Dishes

recipes Nov 03, 2015

I love thanksgiving and that one day a year all bets are off for Calories.  There are certain foods that I only eat once a year and I plan to enjoy them.  Now sometimes we have a couple thanksgivings (or more) to go to.  One day of feasting is not bad but when it becomes several days you get into trouble.  Here are some food substitutes that will allow you to get through with some tasty and lower Calorie options to the typical fair.  For your main meal or for your second thanksgiving that you want to make sure you don’t over do.

Cauliflower Fried "Rice"
This is INSANLY good! It definitely hits the Chinese food

craving! The first time I made this I used the full amount of soy sauce and it was a bit much. 1/8 cup was the right level of soynessIt’s better to start with less and then you can always add more!

Ingredients:

4-6 cups cauliflower (about 1 head) 3⁄4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons oil
1-2 eggs, lightly beaten

A few drops of sesame oil
A few drops of soy sauce
1⁄2 cup chopped baby carrots
1⁄2 cup frozen peas, thawed
4 green onions, chopped
1/8-1/4 cup light, low-sodium soy sauce

 

 

Directions

Cut cauliflower into florets, put half of the florets in the food processor, pulse until the cauliflower is about rice or couscous sized, not too small (mincing by hand is ok too). Put processed cauliflower in bowl, and then repeat with the remaining florets.

Next, heat one tbsp. of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chopped onion and...

Roasted Beet Hummus

recipes Sep 15, 2015

I have been taking baby steps to liking beets over the years.  I remember as a kid my mom boiling them and wanting to gag.  It looked like she was eating something out of a horror movie to me.

I was at the public market and this sweet farmer convinced me to buy some of his beets.  They are so beautiful.  I then gave them to a friend.  The next week I was picking vegetables at another friends garden and she had the most beautiful beets.  I was faced with a mission to LIKE beets. They were haunting me at this point.  Until this recipe I could only handle about 2 bites of a pickled sweet beet before the gag response started.  BUT I LOVE BEET HUMMUS!  I might even be a little addicted to it right now.  Don’t be scared. Give it a shot.  It’s fun to try new things!  It is relatively cheap to make, so if you hate you can give it to me!
