9. Creamy Pumpkin-Peanut Soup
Start the meal off right with a cozy-satisfying starter soup made from two quality carbs that help keep blood sugar levels balanced: pumpkin and peanuts.
10. Shaved Brussels Sprout
Salad With Hazelnuts, Broiled Lemon, and Pecorino
Sliced Brussels sprouts are tossed with chives and parsley, then topped with Pecorino Romano, hazelnuts, and lemon slices for a holiday salad that’s anything but boring. Fun fact: Brussels sprouts contain a compound called glucosinolates, which are linked to lowering cancer risk. Combined with the fact that this dish packs 9 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving, there’s no reason not to have it on your table.
