    Is it wrong that I’m looking forward to leftovers? Yours look amazing… all those delicious veggies plus thick grilled or toasted bread.

    Yum! These are all such great additions to add to the holiday feast! I have some good friends that are vegetarian and I know they’d really any of these and so would everyone. The mushroom stuffing is really calling my name!

  5. That Kale & Mushroom Stuffing looks sooo hearty and comforting! I can’t get enough ole lately!

    This is the whole meal! Love it, I will try do incorporate some of these into our meal. We do have a lot of family that likes a more traditional meal. But maybe I can sneak some of these things in. We are really trying to get off all processed foods, reading Ditching the Drive Thru by J Natalie Winch in which she discusses the best foods with the best ingredients. Her recipes are fantastic, I recommend her book, it’s a great read into how to eat well as a family, and how to keep it going.
