Make Thanksgiving Healthy

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I absolutely adore Thanksgiving dinner- there's something about all those winter vegetables being made into beautiful and delicious meals that you share with loved ones that makes it really special. This Thanksgiving, try to make your dishes healthier- I promise they'll taste just as good, if not better.

I've chosen some good looking recipes that don't contain animal fats. I'd still tweak a couple things in some of them: use whole grain flour when it calls for white, cut the sugars and sweeteners (you never need as much as they say), use homemade instead of packaged ingredients, use oil instead of margarine, and use as many organic ingredients as possible. Otherwise, have fun planning your menu. There are some great resources out there for healthy recipe ideas. Be thankful for your health, and give that gift to your loved ones.
