“Everyone loves the food at Thanksgiving and who wouldn’t?? It’s the biggest feast of the whole year! But a lot of the food your typical family makes at Thanksgiving is unhealthy and not good for you. The following recipes I’ll be posting everyday until T-Day are my family’s favorite delicious and healthy Thanksgiving dishes that we have been enjoying for years, that taste so great you will not believe that they’re healthy!” ~Sarah
