THANKSGIVING FEAST FOR 2

LENTIL APPLE WALNUT LOAF- Recipe from CLEAN FOOD by TERRY WALTERS.

Lentils, grated apples and carrots, raisins, walnuts, and topped with a sweet apple butter glaze. Good, but fell apart too easily.

ROASTED GARLIC BRUSSEL SPROUTS AND FINGERLING POTATOES-Brussel sprouts, fingerling potatoes, garlic, crushed red chili pepper, olive oil, salt and pepper. Simple and so delicious!!!

POBLANO MASHED POTATO SQUASH BLOSSOMS WITH BABY ZUCCHINIS-Made these almost 2 weeks ago and they were so good! We just had to have them again. But this time, with the baby zucchinis still attached.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH-Butternut squash roasted with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Another simple dish, yet so full of flavor!

LEFTOVER POBLANO MASHED POTATOES

CRANBERRY APPLESAUCE-Apples, cranberries, cranberry juice, and maple syrup, blended and eaten alongside the Loaf.

DESSERT:

OVEN-ROASTED BANANA RUM CHEESECAKE WITH SPICED PECAN CRUST-Recipe from THE CONSCIOUS COOK by TAL RONNEN.

Whole bananas roasted (with peel) and processed (peeled) with FYH cream cheese,rum, and spices.

Baked and cooled for a few hours and topped with chopped pecans.

Original recipe called for a MAPLE RUM SAUCE, but mine didn't come out right, so I dumped it.
