Eat Your Veggies

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that you have decided which vegetable dishes you are serving at today’s festivities, if you celebrate this holiday?

At our meal we are to have squash casserole, pumpkin something or other (I can’t remember, but it’s not pie), and various other vegetables as side items to the poor lamented turkey.

My immediate family will be brining along a vegetarian dish to eat instead of the fouled fowl. But, it is, alas, not the eggplant parmesan. I have developed a rather icky cold and my husband has decided upon and cooked the dish we are to take. I have been mostly sticking to the sofa, feeling miserable while using up a lot of facial tissue.

The dish is a “chicken” rice casserole. He used fake chicken strips (you can find in the freezer section with the meat substitutes), rice and cream of mushroom soup. It is currently baking away in the oven. This is actually one of my family’s favorites and is also a quick and easy meal. I do prefer making a real cream of mushroom soup with fresh mushrooms and cream, but given the craziness of the holiday my husband opted for the canned variety this time. I have confidence that it will be fine as he is good about adding spices like garlic powder, red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper to jazz things up a bit.

Whatever you are eating today, I hope that is something you enjoy and that you eat as many vegetables as possible on this fine Thanksgiving Day. Best Wishes for good health.
