NOVEMBER, 2013

It's that time of year again when everyone is talking turkey! But instead of focusing our attention on the bird, we're talking side dishes instead.

Head on over to Meal Makeover Moms' Kitchen to see what we have cooking for Thanksgiving.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Basil Pesto: We take the mystery out of Brussels sprouts with this luscious holiday side dish. Yes, your kids WILL want to eat it!

Pecan-Topped Sweet Potato Casserole: We use less butter and brown sugar than you'd find in a traditional casserole, and the flavor is naturally sweet.

On the blog, you'll also find our tried-and-true technique for roasting sweet potatoes and tips for roasting Brussels sprouts. And we also have a recipe for Meatless Baked Tacos, created by our interns during a "Chopped" cooking challenge.

Looking for a healthy stocking stuffer for everyone you know? Check out our Meal Makeovers mobile recipe app, just $1.99 in the iTunes store. Help us spread the word about the new app!!

Finally, be sure to tune into our latest Cooking with the Moms radio podcast episodes on our adventures at the annual meeting of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics ... and our favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish Makeovers.

Have a happy, healthy, fun-filled, delicious, and nutritious Thanksgiving,

Janice and Liz
