Back with another blog post from your favorite Dr. Yum Dietitian, Dianna!
The holidays bring a whirlwind of decisions—from picking out the perfect gifts to coordinating plans with family and friends. The last thing you want to stress over is planning an entire holiday meal.
Holiday decision fatigue is real—but I’ve got your back! I’m bringing you a delicious, Dr. Yum-approved meal that’s been carefully crafted with input from both a dietitian and pediatrician. Not only are these dishes packed with flavor, but they’re also loaded with nutrients to keep you and your family nourished this holiday season.
Here is your dinner –
Main Dish: Sticky pomegranate chicken
This recipe is not only festive but is packed with protein and iron!
Side Dish: Mashed potatoes and more
This Dr. Yum-approved recipe is bursting with flavor and features a mix of potatoes and other nutrient-packed vegetables (including a tasty hint of parsnips for an extra nourishing boost!). Plus, it’s a fan favorite—those Yum Scores are off the charts!
Side Dish: Roasted brussel sprouts and carrots with maple glaze
In my opinion, this is the ultimate way to enjoy Brussels sprouts! They’re sweet, easy to prepare, and absolutely delicious. Plus, both Brussels sprouts and carrots are loaded with fiber for a nutritious bonus!
Side Dish: Pumpkin Corn Bread
Once you try these pumpkin cornbread muffins, plain rolls will feel downright boring! Festive with a delicious pumpkin flavor, they’re also made with whole wheat flour for a satisfying fiber boost.
Dessert: Apple Berry Crumble
I didn’t forget about dessert! This crumble is packed with flavor + packed with 4g of fiber per serving.
All this talk about delicious food is making us hungry! Wishing you a season full of tasty recipes and joyful celebrations—from our Dr. Yum Project family to yours.
