Thanksgiving side dishes/2 recipes

Grilled vegetables, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese are layered over a homemade pizza crust. It tastes freshly delicious! So much better than the store-bought frozen pizza .

There are lots of good-for-you stuff in this stew, and it's also very tasty. A deliciously warm stew is perfect on a cool fall day.

Spice rubbed bone-in blade chop replaces the traditional pork butt to deliver a smaller quantity of pulled pork without waiting half a day to cook.

Give a traditional tart a modern twist by using phyllo pastry that is lower in fat and calories. Caramelized onion and fennel are loaded with yumminess, a bit dijon mustard is brushed on the bottom, and some creamy goat cheese are sprinkled on top. Delicious! What more can I say?!

Fresh and local peaches finally hit the market, we got some last week, and this is the first cake that I made with those yummy peaches. I used most whole wheat flour, 1/3 butter, 1/3 olive oil and 1/3 applesauce, which made this coffee cake super moist and delicious.

Dark Rum Balls recipe

I roasted cauliflower with 1 each sliced yellow and red onions, which came out delicious with the nice caramelization. The tomato sauce was so flavorful, olives added some depth. I used parmesan cheese, and it enhanced the overall flavor.

Normally, this cake is made in a bundt or tube pan. Today, I chose to make only half the recipe and bake in four ramekins for approximately 17 minutes. While the glaze was still wet, I sprinkled the little cakes with some multicolored nonpareils to make them a little more festive. Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

I was out of Tofurkey Italian Sausage tonight and needed to substitute something else because I can't buy it. I had a cupboard full of Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten and some TVP, so I figured I'd try making it. When my hubby came home, he tried it and immediately said "Write it down! Write it down!" I guess he liked it!

Use seasonal kale to make this hearty and delicious soup. The garlic-olive oil crostini is a must to help soak every drop of yumminess.

Make your fudge today and enjoy this delicious treat that will satisfy all your peanut butter needs!

Pumpkin Cheese Soup recipe

:)

Green, red cabbages, carrots, and a few other veggies together make a hearty and tasty fried rice. Top with a fried egg, or some cooked chicken, pork or beef strips to boost the protein. A quick and no-fuss weeknight meal.

A new twist on classic creamy carrot soup. Add a bit of lime juice for extra zing.
