Thanksgiving Menu Inspiration

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner?  As much as I’ve been embracing fall this year, it has definitely caught me off guard! Often the holidays – especially ones like thanksgiving that are centered around feasts – can provide the perfect opportunity to overdo it and begin down the slippery slope that usually ends in lofty new years resolutions.

I’m not saying to give up you favourite holiday treats, but be mindful about what (and how much) you’re eating. There are healthy options all around us, sometimes it just takes a bit of thought and planning.

Often it’s the thought and planning that take the most effort, so let me take care of that for you! Here are a few recipes I’m thinking about incorporating into my family’s Thanksgiving dinner.  I can’t take any responsibility for how they turn out, but if nothing else, here's some Thanksgiving menu inspiration:

Red Quinoa with Butternut Squash, Cranberries, and Pecans

Emerald City Salad

Homemade Cranberry Sauce

Mushroom Gravy

Happy cooking (and feasting!) Hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving filled with lots of love and gratitude.
