“Healthier” Thanksgiving Recipes from Moni’s Meals!

November 18, 2018 by Monica Nelson Leave a Comment

It is almoooost here…Thanksgiving and so fast this year too.  I do not know about you, but Fall is my favorite season.  There is something about the leaves changing, the weather change, and hands down what just so happens to be in season this time of year!  Winter Squash, Pumpkin, Persimmons, and fresh and crisp Apples are all some of my favorites- just to name a few.

Winter Squash Recipes

I wanted to share with you my favorite “Moni Meals” Thanksgiving Recipes. I can promise you that you will find something you will love and almost all my recipes are on the healthier side yet soooooo delicious.  I would never do that to you…my recipes must taste amazing to make the blog. 🙂

Pumpkin-Apple Soup with Cran-Apple Relish

Sweet Potato Casserole

This time of year is the best for what is in season (in my opinion) and there is something magical to Fall.  It will however be over and out before we know it!

You will be shocked at how easy it can be to cut out some unnecessary ingredients to a traditional recipe and replace it with more “fresh” and “alive” ingredients to  make all the difference.  You friends and family most likely will not know either. 😉
