Top Thanksgiving Dishes

With Thanksgiving right around the corner I figure you may be thinking of a side dish or a dessert that you could bring that may be a little friendlier on the waist line! Check out these Jillian's Kitchen Favorites and try something new these Holidays.

Roasted Acorn/Buttercup Squash Soup: I learned how to make this on my adventure to Maine and loved every bite. It is decadent yet extremely healthy. No need to let your family know that :)

Roasted Acorn Squash: So simple to make, slice and cook! The beautiful golden color will look great on your table.

Mashed Potatoes: What Thanksgiving table doesn't have mashed potatoes? Why not try this variation that skimps on the fat but not the flavor?



Hot Crash Potatoes: Okay so if you ARE that table without mashed potatoes maybe try these wonderful crispy yet creamy potatoes. I love this recipe and am thankful to the Pioneer Woman for coming up with it!

Traditional Stuffing/Dressing: Whether you are stuffing the bird or just want the dressing as a side dish this is my mom's recipe and it just reminds me of childhood. I still have memories of my sister and I fighting over who gets to 'Squish' the ingredients together.

Now onto Dessert!

Apple Crisp: Save the fat be eliminating the pie crust, but I bet your family won't mind with the crispy topping to this wonderful dessert.

Roasted Peaches & Blueberries: A great way to make a really special looking dessert. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you will think you are in heaven!

Peach Cheesecake Pie: Who doesn't love cheesecake? Well this recipe turns it into a pie and let me tell you if you make this once you will be making it at every family gathering because it is just that good.
