I just finished the last shopping for the big
Thanksgiving Dinner – all the veggies.

You know, it may seem like I make the same
things year after year. Guess what? I do.
Every year I think I might change something -
and someone always says, “oh, you’re going to
make my glazed carrots, aren’t you?” “You’re
making your sweet potatoes, aren’t you?”

Ok, something new for Thanksgiving. I had
a couple of requests for broccoli salad.

I was going to skip the cranberry jello. The
grocery store nearest me is out of cranberries.
Can you believe it? I was going to wimp out and
just put out the gell stuff. But my mouth waters
when I think about the jello. Sigh.

Oh Well. The house is clean. The shopping is done.
I make everything fresh, so there is no real prep
work to do. I’m as done as I can be right now – except
for a couple loads of laundry. So … I guess I’ll
go out and get the stuff to make the jello. Gotta
have it!

And I’ll be pumping people full of healthy food.
They don’t even realize it They just know it
tastes good!

You can still pick up your Thanksgiving Survival
Guide for a couple of days. All of the recipes
are in it too.

I’m off to enjoy this beautiful day. I hope you
have a great one too!

Eat healthy today, get your prep work done and get
a good night’s sleep tonight. That’s half the battle!

Eating Great Isn’t Just for Holidays

I love Thanksgiving Dinner. Tons of great food.
And guess what? Most of it is really healthy
food. When else can you cram people full of
great healing foods and have them love it?

Here’s one miracle food you can put out -

Cranberries
Reduce cholesterol, and flushes bacteria that
causes urinary tract infections.

May also help reduce dental plaque and the bacteria
that causes stomach and intestinal ulcers.

Contains flavonoids called oligomeric proanthocyanidins
or OPCs. These help stop the oxidation of bad cholesterol.

They may also help prevent plaque build up in the arteries,
which helps ward off heart disease, stroke, and varicose
veins.

Cranberries have the highest antioxidants of any fruit.
That means they ad in preventing heart disease, cancer,
make your skin look great, and so much more. I know people
who drink cranberry juice to prevent leg cramps.

If you’re looking for a miracle food, drink cranberry
juice every day and just see what happens.

Load up your Holiday table with lots of great tasting
healing foods. All they need to know is that it tastes
great!

Have a great day
