The Ultimate Thanksgiving Side Dish

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? It’s that creamy, comforting side dish that always seems to hit the spot! Well, what if I told you that you could make mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes? And you can add even more vegetables into it without tasting it???

Welcome to the world of Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash! My mother-in-law, Sandra, invented this recipe and really my only role in this recipe is to season it, taste it and season it again. So major kudos goes to Sandra! Thank you for letting me share this recipe!

Pumpkin and Orange Mini Bundt Cakes

It’s Almost Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am sharing some fun, new recipes to healthify your Thanksgiving meal!

First up, are these Pumpkin and Orange Mini Bundt cakes. I wanted to come up with a Thanksgiving dessert that was gluten free, dairy free (without the icing) and refined sugar free BUT still tasted amazing! So, I came up with this mini bundt cake. Plus anything mini is instantly cuter and more delicious. Amiright?!?!

 

Thanksgiving Mini Bundt Cakes

These mini bundt cakes are based off of my Healthy Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake. Instead of chocolate, I used some pumpkin puree and instead of milk, I used some freshly squeezed orange juice. To capture that Thanksgiving flavor, I added some ground cinnamon too.

If you don’t have a mini bundt cake pan, you could even make this recipe as cupcakes. They would still be just as cute and equally as delicious!

Superfood Asian Chicken Soup

Comfort Food in a Bowl

The weather is getting cooler which means it’s the perfect time for soup! And, when the weather is getting cooler that also means it’s the perfect time for people to have colds and to get other people sick! Yay! ….. Just kidding! But really, what is better than a big bowl of comforting chicken soup of a cool Fall night? I decided to put a little twist on the traditional chicken soup and add more of an Asian flavor profile and lots of superfood ingredients to fight off those pesky germs.
