Spiced Beetroot

For beetroot lovers! A delicious, very low calorie, VERY low fat (0.1g!) side dish to accompany any main course. I found this recipe in Karen Meyer’s ‘The Artful Vegetarian’ and I have adapted it slightly in posting it for the Healthy for the Holidays Challenge.

Lemony Garlic Beans (Microwave)

This is a really nice way to serve beans, the beans retain a nice crispness & the sauce has a subtle lemon flavour which goes nicely with the garlic.

Roasted Dutch Carrots With Honey and Thyme

A Karen Martini recipe from her cookbook “cooking at home’. She suggests that 1 bunch carrots can be substituted by 1 turnip and 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into quarters. A nice vege side for any roast. You could use larger carrots and cut them into halves or quarters instead of baby carrots if wished….though the baby carrots give a lovely presentation

Super Simple Sugar-Free Coleslaw

I adapted this from a recipe I found on Life’s Ambrosia (http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/04/cajun-chicken-sandwiches-recipe.html) – it is so simple and absolutely delicious. Cooking time is refrigeration time.
