This year, many of us will be returning to more traditional Thanksgiving gatherings with our family and friends. While it will be wonderful to return to some of our old favorite menu items, it can also be a good time to make a new tradition with a fun, new side dish.
Tulane’s Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine has many recipes that incorporate festive fall flavors, such as a spaghetti squash dish that is a perfect addition to a Thanksgiving menu but can also be used throughout the season as a low-calorie, flavor-packed veggie side. The center also takes its lightened-up cornbread muffins and turns them into a savory dressing, with multiple variations to please everyone’s taste preferences — including a seasonal sausage, pecan and cranberry version, and even a Creole shrimp option for seafood lovers.
