Don’t know what to bring to your Thanksgiving family gathering or Friendsgiving? We are spotlighting three delicious recipes: Cranberry-Apple sauce, Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup and Bourbon and Pumpkin-Swirled Cheesecake. 🦃🧡

The Cranberry-Apple Sauce is naturally sweetened with an Envy apple and the warm flavors of cinnamon and ginger. It contains only one third the added sugar of a traditional cranberry sauce recipe.

These decadent roasted sweet potatoes are rich in both vitamins A and C and have less fat and sugar than the typical sweet potato casserole.

Although most cheesecake recipes recommend using only block cream cheese, I successfully used Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese for the Pumpkin-Swirled Cheesecake. I stirred in the sugar and then the sour cream by hand. I beat each egg before adding one at a time to the whipped cream cheese, and incorporated fully. This ensured that I did not overmix the cheesecake mixture. And, I used a separate pan for the water bath and placed it on the bottom rack of the oven so I did not risk water getting into my springform pan.

Have a beautiful Thanksgiving Holiday.

Cooking over the years!👩🏻‍🍳

Cooking is the practice of combining, mixing, and preparing foods. But, it’s much more than that. Over the years, I have developed the skill of cooking by watching my mom, grandmother, my own children, friends, and even new acquaintances while traveling to Italy and Spain. It has been a journey of trial and error and failures and successes.

Cooking is more than combing ingredients! Cooking brings people together. It’s a way of sharing one’s culture, where you came from, and who you are. Cooking provides opportunity to try new foods and explore new recipes with your family. And, eating the meals you prepare together as a family can foster positive food behaviors and a healthy relationship with food. Studies actually show that children who eat with their family, at least three days a week, have a larger vocabulary, do better in school, and avoid drugs and alcohol.

I know cooking takes planning, preparation, clean up, and a lot of time and energy. And for us who work full time and are raising a family, or who grew up in a non-cooking family, it can be quite challenging. But, understand, the more organized and prepared you are and with practice, you could feed your family well with home cooked meals. Cooking does not have to be daily. With creative planning, you can use leftovers to simplify your meal preparation.

Meet with one of our dietitians to help you learn how to meal plan, grocery shop, and prepare and cook meals whether for yourself, your family, or friends. And for recipe ideas, check out our website at www.nutritionist4you.com.👩🏻‍🍳

Whether you need a quick dinner or a side dish, Mac and Cheese is a classic comfort food. It is usually made with elbow noodles, but other pasta shapes can also be used. Here we combine mozzarella, Monterey jack, cheddar, and pepper jack cheeses for a creamy sauce and add red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. 🧀🍝

It’s stone fruit season! 🍑🍒Stone fruits are known for their hard pit (stone) in their center. These fruits include peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, and cherries. They are rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. Enjoy them during their peak season, June through the end of September.

This Grilled Peach Salad combines the sweetness of grilled fresh peaches with a mix of savory greens. Grilling the peaches caramelizes their natural sugars, enhancing their sweetness and adding a smoky flavor. 🍑🥗

Succotash is an American side dish that celebrates springtime’s bounty of vegetables. It is extremely flexible and ingredients can be swapped out for other ingredients. It pairs well with grilled chicken or fish. Here, we have used edamame in place of, originally, Lima beans and topped it over grilled salmon.
