It takes some time, but is well worth it.
Calories include Brine, Gravy, and Turkey. Might be less because you don't eat the brine itself - I don't know how to calculate that. -sorry.
Lightly sweetened sugar cookies with wheat germ for added nutrition. I made them for fall, but they can be cut into whatever shape your little heart desires!
Light and refreshing alternative to pumpkin pie. Easy prep and no baking time.
This is a delicious take on another recipe here on spark.
This yummy breakfast option has less than 200 calories, is very filling, and can be made in about 10 minutes! Since sucanat (sugar cane natural) is used in place of sugar, it is a much healthier, much more natural way to enjoy a slightly sweet treat.
If you are unfamiliar with sucanat I suggest you read a little bit about it and give it a try. It's good for you, for the farmers and for your family. And once you cut back on refined sugar (white/granulated) this will definitely be sweet enough for you. Although, I will warn, that if you are used to having refined sugars in your oatmeal this won't taste sweet at all. Feel free to add a couple teaspoons of sugar to it if you like, just don't forget to track them separately!
This recipe has been adapted from Ken Wheaton's book The First Annual Grand Praerie Rabbit Festival. Carol substituted chicken for turkey and doubled many of the proportions given the large amounts of leftover poultry we had from Thanksgiving. Additionally, she used okra instead of filé to thicken her broth as well as a handful of new spices and ingredient substitutions. For the original, see here, but for Carol's, keep reading.
As November suddenly creeps up on me, I've been tackling my holiday to-do list.
At the top: develop, test, and master a new version of my grandmother's Pecan Pie recipe that doesn't use corn syrup, but a healthier option without sacrificing the sweet, gooey center. http://www.clearlydeliciousfoodblog.com/20

This recipe is adapted from my old smashed potatoes post (here) but with cauliflower. However, I found a beautiful version of mashed purple and white cauliflower at the blog Eat. Sleep. Cuddle (here).
