Its already Wednesday and you don't have the time to prepare anything for the big Thursday! What you do then- just bring ready made store products and dress up them with smart garnishing to give your guests the feel of homemade food. Here are some tips for the same.
Mashed Potatoes- Get frozen and/or boxed mashed potatoes and add lower-fat sour cream as well as freshly chopped chives. You can even use some reduced-fat sharp cheddar and turkey bacon bits. For more taste, cook your turkey bacon until they become crisp, break them into tiny pieces and stir in mashed potato. Garlic, parsley etc. cam bring in very good flavor to the mashed potatoes. Roast the garlic cloves and use fresh chopped parsley for better taste.
Green French Beans- Get some pre-cut French beans and cook them in Microwave just before you serve them. Put the microwaved beans in the serving bowl and garnish them with your choice of herb blends or to be more simple with shredded Parmesan cheese . You can use roated almonds, olive oil, butter, margarine, pepper slices, onions etc. to dress up your green beans.
Pumpkin Pie - If you can't ignore having pumpkin pie on your Thanksgiving table, you can get the ready made pie from store and dress it up your way! For this you can buy light cool whip or mix a little pumpkin pie spice as well as a couple of teaspoons full of maple syrup.
