This will be my first thanksgiving since my VSG 8 weeks ago so I have to find a new favorite, because I love mashed potatoes with cream cheese and loads of butter whipped together. Unless I can find a more healthy version of mashed potatoes, then it can be my new favorite!

Low-sodium ham spread out and coated with cream cheese, then rolled up and sliced into bite-sized pieces. Stick a tooth pick stuck in each and instant hors d'oeuvres. There are variations of the ham and cream cheese rollup recipes online that you can google if you want to make it fancy.
This is one of my favorite sides. You can adjust the spices according to your taste.
