Thanksgiving alternate recipes (Healthy)?
So I'm trying to look for "healthier" side dishes for Thanksgiving. It seems like everyone these days has a certain "diet" fad where their doctor says that can't eat this or that.
Here are a couple of ideas that I have found:
mashed cauliflower
Steamed green beans with sauteed mushrooms, onions and turkey bacon.
Quinoa stuffing?

I like roasting brussel sprouts with olive oil and garlic. Also, roasting acorn squash. You can even put stuffing in the acorn squash...probably be a good vessel for quinoa stuffing.

**** the doctors and their ideas of healthy eating! They only took dietetics classes in undergraduate school and only 2 classes or 6 hours at that.
Cauliflower Salad! use steamed cauliflower in any potato salad recipe.
steamed green beans with sauteed mushrooms and pearl onions
stuffing to go with turkey: apples, mushrooms, celery, sweet peppers, pearl onions, and some croutons made of rye bread with 100% pure veggie oil or coconut oil. Use poultry seasoning to flavor it.
forget the crap some people are eating now. quinoa tastes and has the texture of garden fertilizer. turkey bacon is just as salty and fatty as pork bacon and half as tasty.
My thanksgiving dinner will be more or less traditional: ham, apple and sweet potato casserole, fried green beans, pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, chocolate roll, and Devils Fun Cake. Cranberry/Cider hot drink, green tea with honey and mint cold drink.

Adam, Sawyer was doing great till she mentioned Quinoa, and lost me there, lolol sorry Sawyer....
I like more veggies, and I came across a vegetable back home called Rapini, a smaller version of broccoli, love to boil it, after I get rid of half the stalks of course, then strain it but not fully. add S & P to taste, squeeze of lemon and a dash of olive oil and toss, that little excess water helps.
The idea is not what you prepare as sides, but the quantity you serve. You can always jog it off for the next few days.
