Hi Kim,
I always enjoy reading your menu plans.:) I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving together.
Have you previously shared your green bean recipe? I tried to Google it and did not come up with anything. Also, is your broccoli-rice casserole from All recipes? There are so many recipes that use processed cheese, etc.I thought yours was probably a healthier alternative.
Thank you.
Kimberly,
The broccoli and rice casserole is the really bad one...sorry! I make it twice a year for my kids. I need a healthier alternative, though. Let me know if you find one that is as tasty for kids!
For the green beans: Just drain 3-4 cans of whole green beans, melt about 2 Tbsp of real butter(you can use more, I just limit the amount) and mix with about 1/3 cup brown sugar. Stir in the almonds and bake covered at 350 for about 30 minutes. It is on my blog somewhere, but It is easier to just share it with you here.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!
We've just discovered all the whole wheat pastas and we love them. Your menu is always so good!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, Kim! I will be on the lookout for another recipe and let you know if I find something. Twice a year isn't bad at all! I just have an aversion to processed cheese, my issue. ;)
Have a blessed week!
thanks kim!
hope you have a great week w/family!
It all looks great!
That broccoli and rice casserole used to be a huge favorite of mine. I haven't made it in forever because there aren't many redeeming things about it. Kimberly, do share if you find a better version!
I found a recipe I am going to use. I will just make a couple modifications to it. The condensed soup I bought is from Health Valley, so no MSG or other icky stuff. Also, I will be using a combo of real cheddar and monterey jack cheese, shredded. I still will not think of it as "healthy", but hopefully it will taste good. :)
Hope this is helpful to anyone else who enjoys this side dish.
Happy Thanksgiving!
