Thanksgiving

I'm not sure why but I don't have ANY pictures of us from Thanksgiving.  I must have been too busy eating!  Anyone that knows me knows that I'm all about clean eating, which is eating natural things.  Of course I have my moments where I eat something that is packed with perservatives but for the most part I eat natural.  Not just me but my family too.  Micah eats all the good stuff!  He will eat straight spinach, now how many 2 year olds do you know that do that?!  So for Thanksgiving I made some clean side dishes to take to our hostesses homes. 

First was the Cranberry Orange Spinach Salad

It's just what you see up there.  Spinach, Tomato, Dried cranberries, Fresh Oranges with the membranes removed and I squeeze some of the juice in the salad, some feta cheese and a little bit of chopped walnuts for some protein.  I don't use dressing very often especially with having the juice from the orange on this one but if you do I like Brianna's brand.  It's natural and you can find a low fat one!!

As for the second dish I did mashed Sweet Potatoes.  I used the white sweet potatoes instead of the orange.  They're not as sweet.  You just peel and boil the sweet potatoes unitl done and mash them.  I added some skim milk and a dash of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper!

Everyone that said that they don't like sweet potatoes tried this and LOVED it!! 
So these are just a couple of the clean eats we had on Thanksgiving!
