Happy Thanksgiving!

Well I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving with good food and loved ones! It was great at our house...We had family and good friends over to share food, games, and even a good nap!

When I am cooking my Thanksgiving Dinner I always love to put on Christmas music or watch a Hallmark Christmas movie...Okay yes I admitt it...I am a total sapp...I love feel good movies with a good ending...And I love the spirit of love and joy that is so tangible during the Holidays...My husband David prepared a Cajun Fried Turkey...Umm umm good is all I can say! That was my Thanksgiving splurge...



As I have said before, I am from the south (where we fry and put gravy on everything) and come from a family that loves to cook and enjoy food. I still love good food but I am learning that it has to be healthy AND good...Not just good! Years ago I would cook all kinds of rich, creamy, high calorie, high carb foods for my Thanksgiving meal; but now my meal is still great but with less high fat and high carb foods and more simple veggies and fruits. It took a change in my thinking but it's happening. Here is my Thanksgiving menu:

Fried Turkey
Seasoned Green Beans
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Kiwi and Spinach Salad
Asian Noodle Salad
Stuffing
Fruit Salad
Sweet Potato Pie


Anyway it's all about being thankful to God and recognizing the blessings all around us...No matter where you are or what your circumstances are, keep enjoying your holidays!!
