I made this sweet potato and squash puree as a healthier alternative to heavy, buttery mashed potatoes for this Thanksgiving dinner, and was very pleased with the results! Light and fluffy, a little sweet and savory, it felt great to eat something I knew was good for my body and great for my skin. The chicken broth tones down the natural sweetness of these root vegetables, making this an excellent side dish for meats and pretty much anything else.
