Favorite Holiday Vegetable Recipes
Posted on 22 December, 2015 at 13:05 |
Christmas is almost here and as I prepare my menu for Christmas dinner, I thought I would share some of my favorite holiday vegetable recipes. It is always a good idea to have a few vegetables on the menu to lighten the calorie load of your holiday meal. Below is my new favorite salad, a Pear Gorganzola Walnut Salad – super simple. I have also included my recipe for Oven Roasted Apsaragus. This recipe is great for a holiday meal, but also simple enough for a weeknight side. Hope you enjoy!
