[quote=Anonymous]Roasted veggies - any kinds - with light olive oil or a health healthy oil, salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, and herbs. I like rainbow cauliflower, brussels sprouts, red cabbage (with balsamic glaze drizzle).

Lemon carrots: carrots, salt and pepper, a little olive oil, lemon juice and zest, a little maple syrup.

Mash sweet potatoes with orange juice, zest, and pulp. Add a little brown sugar and maple syrup, salt, pepper, garlic (trust me), and a little butter (or butter alternative) with more on the side. Toasted pecans and orange wedges to squeeze on the side also.

Kale salad marinated in a dressing of cider vinegar, maple syrup, dijon, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, lemon juice, and a little bit of oil (doesn't need to be half oil). For veggies I add thinly sliced apple, celery, and some green onion. You can add toasted slivered almonds or pecans and a cheese if you like.

Roasted butternut squash tossed with dried cranberries, pickled red onion, and I like it with a little cilantro and corn but that might derail your theme. You could try other more appropriate green herbs and omit the corn.

You can mash potatoes with skim milk, roasted squishy garlic, and some fat free sour cream. Use a lot of salt. Doesn't have to be all butter.

I like to bake regular cornbread and top with extra honey and sage. Butter on the side, compounded with herbs. You can add creamed corn to it, or blend some cooked corn.

Any cranberries. I like to cook them down with sugar, frozen cherries, and a little kirsch.

Turkey breast instead of dark meat.
