The countdown to Thanksgiving is ON! So the next few posts will profile some new and interesting dishes to complement your cast of BIG MEAL FAVORITES. Today let’s focus on SWEET POTATOES. If you’re looking for a different way to serve your sweets, consider these. A little jazzier than the standard casserole and every bit as tasty, these super stuffed potatoes can’t be beat. BONUS: The yogurt adds a creamy sweetness without the addition of butter, making these a great choice for those watching their fat as well. Recipe courtesy of Prevention’s The Healthy Cook.

I had several acorn squash left over from our last CSA shipment, and today’s delectable dish really fit the bill. As tasty as it is beautiful, this vegetarian side can easily be made into a entree with the addition of soup and a salad. Recipe courtesy of The NO-SALT Cookbook by David & Thomas Anderson.

Fried Tofu with Tangy Dipping Sauce
October 17th, 2008 — Main Dishes, Vegetarian
I often get “the look” from my older daughter when I announce what’s for dinner… pretty much anything other than pizza, pasta and mac & cheese is a guaranteed look-getter. Fortunately, my husband and I have discovered that kids will eat anything as long as it’s breaded and fried - even TOFU. My older daughter begs me to make this (would you believe it?!) and relishes helping me prepare it. Fried tofu makes a great starter or easy meal, and also provides light entertainment as you watch your kids (or significant other) fight over the last piece.
