Fall is all about bringing people together around delicious food. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I know many of you are already worried about packing on extra pounds during this lovely holiday. You don’t have to stress out because I got you covered! For the next few weeks, each Monday I will post a new recipe that you and your family can enjoy on Thanksgiving day. This carrot purée is one of my favorite side dishes. The cumin and ginger blend extremely well with the carrot and it is completely guilt free.
