Healthy Thanksgiving Foods

Some people associate Thanksgiving with over-eating on rich, delicious, homemade foods...oh ok, everyone thinks of Thanksgiving that way! And, to some extent, that is healthy. Celebration, relaxation, meals with family and friends - these are all very healthy and wonderful parts of life.

But did you know that many of the traditional Thanksgiving foods are quite healthy as well?

• turkey white meat
• cranberries
• sweet potatoes
• pumpkins
• carrots, peas, green beans, broccoli

That's the good news! The next step is to avoid over-indulging so much so that you can still enjoy the football games, great company and spirit of the holiday.

What are you thankful for this year? I am thankful for my 3-week old healthy baby. I am also thankful that I can still write full sentences on the smallest amount of sleep I've ever had in a 3-week period. Ah, life with a newborn.

Happy Thanksgiving!
