For our Thanksgiving meal, I was in charge of rolls and salad. My sister, the hostess gave me strict instructions to NOT use whole wheat in the rolls (she doesn’t think much of ‘healthy eating’).  So, I complied.  I tried these Lion House Rolls posted by my neighbor, and they turned out scrumptious!! Definitely a holiday treat.  They are easy to fill up on.

 I like being in charge of salad.  You can assemble most of it ahead of time. You can make the dressing a head of time. And best of all, you can be sure there will be something at your family party with some real fabulous nutrients.  I filled half of my plate with green salad, had a small serving of everything else, and did not feel deprived at all.   I brought a Spinach salad, which has become my favorite salad to bring to parties.  It has:

• red onions
• mandarin oranges
• craisins
• spinach
• green leaf lettuce
• and candied pecans
• And this dressing.

Everything else we had for our Thanksgiving dinner turned out perfect, thanks to my sister who while pregnant, graciously hosted! Good meal Sarah!

And a BIG Thank you to all my friends and readers (real life and virtual).  I am grateful for the joy you all add to my life.
