Happy Thanksgiving! It’s so fun to share this day with family and friends. I wish each and every reader such a day for Thanksgiving 2024, and safe travels too, no matter where nor with who you gather to give thanks for this day of plenty.
Maybe it’s not a great day to bring up food and fitness, or perhaps it’s the best day. I believe we are what we eat and drink, and how we move or we don’t move!
Truth wins out here as it is recognized that health is directly related to the combination of food and fitness. My advice is don’t indulge with too much food and drink, nor go without a move or two. Combine the best of both whenever you can!
Seafood and other hors d’oeuvres delight! Lots of veggies, fruits and salads among the recipes from The Call’s annual “Home for the Holidays Recipe Contest” make healthy choices. Love the turkey, ham or other entree feature, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and dressing too! And don’t forget the dessert, from traditional pumpkin pie to pineapple upside down cake plus more sweets such as cookies.
