Thanksgiving side dishes/12 recipes

A wholesome, hearty and healthy version of the much loved Italian dish, Gnocchi. In this recipe it has been combined with a mushroom pesto which complements the flavours perfectly. Nutritious can be more delicious.

When you have healthy recipes like this, you look forward to every meal, every bite is a pleasure. You can rest assured that your taste buds will be satisfied and your body will be suitably nourished. The beautifully blended mix of herbs, vegetables and succulent chicken, create a mouth-watering dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.

Not that we need an excuse to eat this delicious dish but National Fish and Chip day is as good as any. Another good reason is for the health benefits, people who eat fish regularly have a lower risk of heart disease. Cod or haddock are a good source of protein which delays stomach emptying, this helps to stop sudden increases in sugar levels. These fish contain Omega-3 fatty acids which are good blood thinners and many B vitamins. Who said fish and chips weren’t healthy? We aren’t waiting for the 2nd June!

Herbed Fresh Tomato Soup recipe

Lovely mingle of flavours. I toasted the walnets. Used dried tarragon but soaked in the oils w/orgainc cider vinegar in advance. Oh yeah and added 1 clove of finely minced garlic. A big hit with or without the garlic. High class side dish using the fresh beans from my local country road farmer.

A wide variety of fresh vegetables and quinoa are tossed with a salty and sweet miso orange dressing. Serve it as a refreshingly nutritious side dish or a vegetarian/vegan main course.
