Belated meat free Monday Post- Yummy fall sides

Hello everyone and Happy almost Thanksgiving.  I always liek to try new sides and recipes. This time of year there are a wealth of them. I recently started watching a show on ABC called "The Chew". ITs a nice daytime show that's centered around food & family, which I love. The fact that one of the 5 co-hosts is Mario Batali (fav celeb chef), doesn't hurt either.  What's refreshing about this show is that the daughter of the famous Dr. Oz, Daphne Oz, is also one of the cohosts. I like this because she keeps the balance of the other chefs and keeps a healthy focus running throughout it.

Below are two recipes that I have recently discovered, one from an episode of "the Chew" and the other from Wegman's. Both are a healthy ( and vegetarian) side dish option using leafy greens that taste fantastic, and are not covered in a ton of fatty sauce, such as a certain green bean cassserole that so many enjoy this time of year. We've started making these regularly at home. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
