“This is an alternative to the traditional potato pancake. Sweet potato pancakes, exotically spiced with cinnamon, curry powder and cumin. Great for Thanksgiving.”

“This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. She has made it every year for Thanksgiving. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. Thanksgiving is not the same without it for us! We just ‘gobble’ it up! Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.”

Corn casserole, a cross between of a corn pudding and a corn bread is a wonderful addition to anyone's holiday table.
I've had so many requests in the last few weeks to make this over, so by popular demand I decided to tackle this. My cousin always makes corn casserole for Thanksgiving so I knew just where to turn for a good starting point.
To lighten this up, I swapped the eggs out for egg whites, replaced the sour cream with fat free Greek yogurt and I used light butter. This was really simple to make, and all my taste testers approved. I think next time I make this I may add a pinch of parmesan cheese, but it was good as is.
You can make this ahead and heat it up when you are ready to eat. This is also great reheated the next day for leftovers.

Pumpkin sponge cake rolled with a lightened up cream cheese frosting. What can be prettier on your Thanksgiving table!
One day I had some extra cream cheese frosting laying around my kitchen. I also had some fat free Greek yogurt in my refrigerator and my wheels started turning; what would happened if I mixed the two? Well, all I can say is it was fabulous! I let a few others taste it to see what they thought, and they all agreed. So when I had all these requests to make over a pumpkin roll, I knew this would be my filling! I added some crushed walnuts to the filling and it was delicious! You can make it without the nuts, you'll save one point. I find Fage to be the thickest Greek yogurt, so that is what I recommend here.
For best results, if you're planning on making this, it's best to make it the day before and keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve it. You can even make it up to 2 days ahead.
Can you use egg whites? I'm not sure, this has no butter or oil so I think the fat in the yolks is essential. Can you use Splenda? I'm sure you can, but I have not tested it, if anyone makes it with good results, please let me know!

Thinly sliced yukon gold potatoes, layered and baked in a light buttery sauce and shredded cheese. So good without the guilt!
This is one of those dishes that exceeded my expectations, you can use red potatoes or new potatoes, but I really love the buttery texture of yukon gold. The only thing I urge to ensure the potatoes are cooked and tender is that you slice the potatoes 1/8 inch thick, a mandoline really makes this easy. Any thicker and you'll have to adjust the baking time.
This is a must for Thanksgiving!

“Hearty beets, cooked with a spicy glaze, are a delicious side dish that can be frozen and used later, if you like. Just cook them, then bag them up for the freezer. ”

Sauteed brussels sprouts are delicious when shredded and sautéed with pancetta, garlic and oil. If you don’t think you like brussels sprouts, I challenge you to try these!
I love when people tell me they don’t like brussels sprouts, then quickly change their mind when they taste them prepared this way. I too once thought I didn’t like brussels sprouts until my girlfriend turned me on to shredded them before sauteing in garlic and oil. Now I love them! You can easily prepare this the night before and warm it up when you are ready to serve if you are making this for Thanksgiving.
For a vegetarian version, try Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Shallots.

“We have made this recipe a Thanksgiving Day tradition in our family since my son was in kindergarten. Open the container and — voila! — you have homemade butter. Pour off the buttermilk (or drink it if you like)and place the butter in a serving dish. Great on dinner rolls. The little ones will be proud to have helped prepare the meal.”

Skinny pumpkin cupcakes, perfect for Halloween parties, Thanksgiving or anytime you want a low fat pumpkin treat.
This recipe couldn't be easier, I used a box of Golden Vanilla cake mix, some canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and water. No oil, butter or eggs added and the results were amazing!
These cupcakes are delicious naked, without frosting, but I thought creating a pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting would be the perfect topping. If you want to get fancy and pipe it on like I did in the photos, you may have to make a little extra frosting, maybe 1 1/2 batches. But if you are making them for yourself and using spatula to smear some on, the amount listed here will be enough.

Turkey Delight is a delicious way to use everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving leftovers in a single dish. Turkey, gravy, potatoes and stuffing form a magnificent holiday quartet. I often prepare the dish on Thanksgiving Day, then cook it a few days later.
Cherry gelatin mold with Bing cherries, pineapple, and pecans. This has been my family’s favorite for Thanksgiving for many, many years.
You can make these ahead several days and store in the fridge. If baking cold, let stand 30 minutes first. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.
