Recipe Ideas for a Healthy Thanksgiving

November 17, 2018 By Sonia! The Healthy Foodie 1 Comment

As a French Canadian, I never got to celebrate Thanksgiving, so I can’t pretend to say that I know much of anything about what goes on and especially what gets eaten on that much awaited Holiday…

One thing I do know, however, is that no Thanksgiving feast would be complete without at least some form of squash, or sweet potato, on the menu! Turkey also appears to have a prime spot on the table.

And of course, food tends to be served, and eaten, in abundance!

Soooo, just in case you’re still short a recipe or two and aren’t done figuring out your entire Thanksgiving menu just yet, I thought I’d share a few ideas with you to help you keep your Thanksgiving on the healthier side!

I know I’m very last minute (tell me, just when am I not last minute?) but I hope you still find that this roundup comes in handy!

Oh, and before I go: happy cooking and a very Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!
