Three Thanksgivings

Three Thanksgivings in three days.  If you weren’t aware, that is a lot of food.  In the past, I probably would have worried about how I was going to navigate all that eating but this year I took a different approach.

I decided I wasn’t going to sit there and think about all the things I could or could not eat.  I wasn’t going to fret about going overboard and shoving as much food in my face as possible.  I was going to enjoy the people I was with, share the dishes I had made, and overall have a good time.  In short I was going to not be a control freak and have a good Thanksgiving.

And you know what?

It was one of the best Thanksgivings ever.  I spent time with the people I love and some I hadn’t seen in a long time.  I made a chocolate peanut butter pie that was a hit (and I promise to share it soon).  I laughed, I ate, I was thankful.

Like I said, one of the best Thanksgivings ever.

How was your holiday?  Did you get to see friends and family?  Eat any new dishes?

Cranberry Coffee Cake

The lowly cranberry.  Often relegated to juice or the obligatory side dish at Thanksgiving that no one touches, cranberries are often overlooked.  But that ends today.  Well, I try to make it end today with delicious coffee cake. Cranberry Coffee Cake | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Butternut Squash Quesadillas

Can you call a quesadilla a quesadilla if there is no queso?  Consider this my version of Hamlet’s, “To be or not to be” folks.

I get real deep about food. Butternut Squash Quesadilla | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading
