SUMMARY: Tacos are a universal favorite, beloved by both children and adults. They are a staple on Taco Tuesday in many households and serve as a customizable meal option for gatherings. Planning a nutritious meal involves considering the necessary dietary fibers, often lacking in average American diets. Women typically need about 25 grams of fiber per day, while men need 35-38 grams; yet, most fall short, only consuming 10-15 grams. Fiber is crucial for gut health, lowering cholesterol, and reducing colon cancer risk, found only in plant foods. To boost fiber in tacos, consider using plant-based proteins like lentils instead of or alongside meat and incorporating fiber-rich vegetable toppings. Lentils are economical and offer a similar texture to ground meat, making them a healthy, budget-friendly addition to tacos. Customizing the seasoning and adding homemade pico de gallo or guacamole can further enhance the nutritional value of your taco night.

SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
