I’m excited to share a round of holiday recipes in my newsletter over the next month, starting with this Cheesy Scalloped Potato recipe from The Being Collective that I’m making for Thanksgiving. It’s a better-for-you gluten-free side dish with 13g of protein and 4g of fiber—creamy, satisfying, and proof that holiday comfort food can also nourish your body.

Ingredients
- 5 cups yukon gold potato (cut into 1/8” thick rounds; 5 cups = 4 medium potatoes)
