Welcome back. So what you're looking at here, what is that that we're looking at right there?

00:04
This is just your typical grocery store ranch dip that you buy in the refrigerated section.

00:09
Okay. Thank you very much for bringing that in. It's been wonderful having you.

00:12
No, seriously.

00:14
Enjoy.

00:15
Sarah Matheny has written, Peas and Thank You, Simple Meatless Meals the Whole Family Will Love.

00:20
And she is suggesting that you can actually have healthy holiday eating, and she's brought a few examples of that.

00:26
You certainly can.

00:27
created you know for trademark purposes I'm calling this healthy picker makes me

00:32
sick these are the things that are making us sick like what like this is just an

00:36
iceberg lettuce wedge with some hydrogen dressing on it oh but doesn't this look

00:40
so much better this is a mango chickpea salad with strawberries and we put a

00:44
cinnamon vinaigrette on it it's a great thing that you can serve at the holiday

00:48
meal and you've got extra protein from your chickpeas you can serve it to

00:51
vegetarians or to your meat eaters and they're gonna love it instead of a

00:56
crouton they're much healthier they're crunchy and delicious well it is good

01:00
yeah okay so have some more alternative okay so instead of the chips and dips

01:04
you've got a homemade hummus with a vegetable crudités my feeling is it's not

01:08
really the dip you know the chips that people are loving it's the dip yes so

01:12
we're double dipping because we love the dip so much so why not just serve a

01:15
healthier dipper with a delicious dip like our hummus here we lose a little

01:20
nuts on top pine nuts just a little extra crunch in there this is a yogi guacamole

01:25
we've got in our book that's got white beans added into it for extra nutrition as well.

01:30
And what are you using instead of chips?

01:32
These are toasted pitas.

01:34
So you can just chop up a pita toasted in the oven.

01:37
You've got all the less preservatives and fats and salt.

01:40
And is pita relatively healthy?

01:43
Especially if you get the whole wheat version.

01:45
Okay.

01:46
How about what's next?

01:48
Instead of mashed potatoes with a big blob of butter on it,

01:52
Be with cream and cream cheese.

01:54
My grandma used to put a whole block of cream cheese in there.

01:55
You know, I'm sorry, but that looks delicious to me.

01:58
It does, but this has the skins in it.

02:00
It's made with vegetable broth.

02:02
It's got fresh herbs.

02:03
Trust me, it's much better.

02:05
Well, I'm going to find out right now.

02:07
Okay, because I'm a mashed potato lover.

02:09
I am too.

02:11
Oh, so what is this in here?

02:12
This little meat in here?

02:13
No, those are actually the potato skins.

02:15
I thought I caught you.

02:16
I know.

02:17
I wouldn't do that.

02:19
Very good.

02:20
Yes.

02:20
Okay.

02:21
So, sweet potatoes, you may not know.

02:23
Time out.

02:24
They're delicious.

02:25
Excellent.

02:26
Thank you for adding that in there.

02:27
Instead of making a sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, marshmallows are not vegetarian, and I'm not going to tell you why.

02:35
Does that have anything to do with pork?

02:36
No, it has to do with bones.

02:38
Oh.

02:39
So, instead, you just want to bake a sweet potato.

02:42
You can put cinnamon and sugar, brown sugar, just right on top of baked sweet potato.

02:45
It's a much healthier option.

02:46
Bones.

02:47
And then last but not least.

02:49
Well, okay, so this is not a traditional green bean casserole.

02:52
This is one that I made without the canned soup that just kind of comes out in a blob when you pour it in the bowl.

02:56
Yeah.

02:57
This, you just make up your own base.

03:00
And you can try this, although I definitely want you to try the pie before we're done here.

03:03
Oh, well, wait a minute.

03:04
Between, listen, casserole, pie, pie, casserole, which one should I go with?

03:09
Chocolate.

03:09
I think we're going to go with the, I think we'll go with the pie.

03:12
Okay, take a bite, then I'll tell you what's in it.

03:14
Okay, pie.

03:16
Instead of cream and butter, we've got a silken tofu.

03:20
Would you even know it?

03:22
That's delicious.

03:23
Thank you.

03:24
The book is called Peas and Thank You.
