These healthy side dishes are perfect for those of us who worry about blowing their diets over the holidays.
Dinner is enough work without stressing about making the perfect sides everyone will love. These recipes are tried and truly delicious!
Let’s face it, the holidays wouldn’t be as special without those traditional side dishes we all know and love. Thanksgiving and Christmas without stuffing, sweet potatoes, and green beans wouldn’t be the same in our house.
If you are cooking a holiday dinner this year, these are some of my favorite festive side dish recipes. You will love every single one of them.
For those on Weight Watchers, the holidays don’t have to be a time when you stress out about what to prepare. Having a list of healthy side dishes makes cooking on a holiday easier for everyone.
You’ll find everything from Sausage stuffing to mashed potatoes with chives to sweet potato casserole here. We’ve even listed the Weight Watchers Points on these recipes, so be sure to let your friends who do WW know about these delicious recipes. After all, part of the beauty of the program is keeping each other on track.
Worried about serving a healthy recipe to your guests? The flavors of these dishes are so delicious, they will never know they are eating healthier. If they did, they would thank you!
Let’s make a deal; if they ask for the recipe, you can tell them how many calories or Points they are saving. If they don’t ask, just sit back and pat yourself on the back for making an amazing meal and keeping your friends and family healthy. Deal?
