Happy Thanksgiving! Any greens on your menu?

From one holiday to the next, I’m loving the fall! It can be hectic though, no doubt about it. That’s why I highly recommend planning (and delegating) as much as possible. There is no reason you need to do it all.

Especially when it comes to making Thanksgiving dinner. Fortunately, my hubby loves to handle the turkey and mashed potatoes. This year, my in-laws are handling the sweet potatoes and stuffing. Desserts are also covered. That leaves me to tend to the greens (my favorite).

I know everyone loves a green bean casserole, but I’m changing it up this year to go the leaner route. I can’t speak for this Ina Garten Green Beans Gremolata recipe yet but I’ll let you know how it goes. It looks amazing.

Next, I’m going to make a spinach, pear, and pomegranate salad, similar to the one by Ambitious Kitchen. I’ll skip the sweet potatoes since we’re already having these on the side. This looks so pretty and delicious, I hope it will draw folks into my plan to add fiber and polyphenols to this delicious meal (muahaha!)

What’s on your menu? Let me know!
