I love a good Thanksgiving meal with the family! I do not dread the holidays and “falling off the wagon” or stress about eating at family gatherings over the holidays. How? I have learned how to “have my cake and eat it too!”
I typically keep it simple and stick to veggies and turkey for my Thanksgiving meal to allow for my favorite Thanksgiving treat… pumpkin pie! For more healthy recipes check out my recipes blog.
