Whipped Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are already decadently sweet and silky, so topping them with brown sugar and mini marshmallows is overkill. Instead, add fruit for more natural sweetness. You'll get added nutritional mileage from the fruit, avoid processed sugar, and gain extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber." We recommend bananas, to boost creaminess, and apples, whose natural acidity will brighten the sweet potatoes' naturally deep flavor.

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 F.

Roast potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet for 40 minutes, then add bananas (with peel on) and cook for another 15 minutes.

When potatoes cool, split lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a bowl; peel bananas and add with applesauce, honey, and cinnamon, the season with salt, pepper, and sugar to taste.

Mash well with a potato masher, or whip with an electric beater. Transfer mixture into a buttered baking dish; bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through.

Green Bean Casserole

Made correctly, a green bean casserole is delicious. Unfortunately, most people botch this winter classic into a gloppy mess.

Salvage this staple by swapping the soup for a from-scratch sauce and the fried onions for caramelized ones. Green beans are loaded with fiber and vitamin C and should occupy a lot of the real estate on your plate.

Directions:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add green beans, cook for 5 minutes, then drain and cool.

Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a pan over medium heat, add sliced onions, salt lightly, and cook until browned.

Heat oven to 400F.

In a large pan, add mushrooms, chopped onion, garlic, and 1 tsp salt; cook for minutes over medium heat.

In a separate saucepan, bring stock and milk to a simmer; add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.

Add stock mixture to mushrooms, bring to a boil, stirring until thick.

Put beans in a baking dish, add mushroom mixture, and top with caramelized onions; cook for 15 minutes.
