2 Healthy & Delicious Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate with family, but finding a recipe that everyone will enjoy can be tough.
These days, everyone has some type of dietary need, whether it’s an allergy or a certain lifestyle. However, finding something everyone can enjoy doesn’t need to be stressful. Below I have come up with two amazing recipes that are completely vegan, but definitely do not lack in flavor. The first recipe contains nuts, but the second is nut-free and picky eater-friendly so there really is something for everyone. Feel free to share these recipes with friends & family for the Holiday season & get creative with the ingredients.

In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add in salt. Bring to a boil and cook until totally soft, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Use a potato masher to mash potatoes until completely smooth.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and rosemary then add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Take out rosemary, leaving oil and garlic, then pour oil over potatoes. Add butter and stir until completely combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
