CHEW THE RIGHT THING
Bite it!
HGs I Can't Believe It's Not Sweet Potato Pie
Get Squashed!
This one's an instant classic, people. We promise. By substituting butternut
squash for sweet potatoes and using some key light ingredients, you can
save over 200 calories and nearly 17 grams of fat per serving on this Turkey
Day classic. And it tastes EXACTLY like the real thing (yes, EXACTLY). Now
THAT'S something to be thankful for! Butternut squash, with half the calories
(and all the yummy fun) of sweet potato, is our new best friend. (Pssst... In
case you haven't tried 'em yet, our Bake-tastic Butternut Squash Fries
ROCK!)
Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash (large enough to yield 2 cups mashed flesh)
1/2 cup Egg Beaters; Original
1/3 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/3 cup sugar-free maple syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup SPLENDA; Granular
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 cup miniature marshmallows
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel squash and cut into large chunks
(removing seeds). Fill a large, microwave-safe dish with a half an inch of
water. Place squash into dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for
approximately 8 minutes (and drain). Squash should be tender enough to
mash, but not fully cooked. With a potato masher, food processor or fork,
mash squash. Measure out 2 generous cups, lightly packed, and place in an
oven-safe baking dish. Add all ingredients except for marshmallows. Mix
ingredients thoroughly, but do not over-stir; squash should still be pulpy.
Allow to cook for 45 50 minutes. Remove from oven, and disperse
marshmallows over top of pie. Return to oven for 5 minutes, until
marshmallows begin to brown. Allow to cool. Serves 4.

Traditional Homemade Sweet Potato Casserole
How Sweet it Isn't...
If we're being honest here (and we always are), we have to say this sweet
side dish is one of our absolute favorite things about Thanksgiving. Sugary
sweet potatoes in a creamy casserole topped with melt-in-your-mouth
marshmallows?!? It's essentially dessert that you can eat during dinner.
And what could be better than that?! Unfortunately, starchy potato + butter,
eggs, cream and marshmallows = some button-popping, sky-high nutritionals
for an itty-bitty part of your holiday plate. Bake up some of HGs I Can't
Believe It's Not Sweet Potato Pie and go squash WILD!

Chew on This:
Today, November 14th, is National Guacamole Day. Despite the health
benefits of avocados, your average serving of guac has about 100 - 200
calories and 10 - 17g of fat. Be careful!
Share this super-duper squash swap with everyone you know. They will love
you 30% more because of it. Really!
