"To stay healthy during the holiday, I like to introduce alternative vegetables and grains, such as quinoa. This food has been cultivated in the Americas for at least 3,000 years, with some estimates going back to 5,000 years, so its pedigree as an American food is assured. The Incas called it the "mother of all grains." Its super-tastiness and healthiness can support a wide range of flavors, so you can always try something new with it.

Another favorite is to make cauliflower mashed potatoes as an alternative to regular mashed potatoes. Although this vegetable technically isn't an American vegetable, it's a healthy choice over carb-heavy potatoes, and I dare say, the taste makes it a great choice."
