Thanksgiving side dishes/8 recipes

Not only delicious, but it also helps you keep a good diet.

A rich, delicious stove-top side dish with a silky texture. This pairs especially well with the Porcini-Rubbed Turkey with Shiitake-Madeira Gravy — or grilled steaks on any other day in November. You can make the potatoes eight hours ahead and reheat them just before serving.

This Punjabi dish, with some variation in spices, is eaten over all of northern India. Paneer is a fresh milk cheese with an interesting, slightly chewy consistency. It's easy to make, but requires planning ahead. You can substitute a diced 6- or 8-ounce cake of pressed tofu for it in this recipe.

A quick creamy cream cheese based sauces, herbs, pasta and you have dinner on the table in a jiffy with this quick and easy recipe.

I hope I added all of spices. Incredible company for chicken which makes it tasteful and aromatic. Thanks, it was exciting to make this dish.

Quick, easy and tasty. Fresh lemon zest and juice add lots of refreshness, a few garlic cloves give the fragrance, and the toasted almonds bring some nutty taste and another layer of the crunch texture. Serve it with any main course.

Maple Pecan Pie recipe

I did prefer a tenderer texture, so I steamed green beans for a few minutes, then cooked in the pan with all the spices. Still had great flavour and tender-crisp texture.

Instead of store-bought pie crust, we made our own with most whole wheat flour and olive oil, which made the crust a lot healthier with flaky texture and delicious flavor. Now enjoy this juicy-fruity pie without feeling guilty at all.

Earthy-sweet beets, peppery arugula and creamy goat cheese are tossed with a red wine vinaigrette. Quick, easy and tasty!

Bhopali Roti recipe

Made this pasta with veggies for supper yesterday, and I was impressed. I wan't sure that if there would be enough flavor, and it actually came out quite tasty. I did add a bit hot chili sauce. A quick, easy and yummy one-pot meal.

Baked Spinach and Ricotta Penne recipe

My slightly sweet version of a classic.
