50+ Primal Thoughts, Tips and Recipes for Your Thanksgiving

The team and I are hustling today, getting everything in place before the holiday weekend, and all of us are already thinking about the festivities (not to mention feasts) to come. So, you’ll forgive me if I indulge the holiday spirit and even wax a bit sentimental—just a little. (Thanksgiving IS my favorite, I’ll admit….) And, on a more practical note, let me share some “best of MDA” tips and recipes for making the holiday weekend healthier and happier. By now most of us have the “stuff” that typically goes into the meal itself: the food, the napkins, the centerpiece, etc. We’ve unearthed the ginormous serving tray from the basement and dug out the carving set.

Yes, really. ) I’ve written about balance and the focus of choosing activities that make you feel good all of the time . When it comes to food, that can mean different things for everyone. Potlucks, family gatherings and work events all happen around this time of the year, so balance can fall to the wayside – especially in the food realm. As you know my food philosophy focuses on eating real food , rather than following any particular diet. I do love my veggies, though, and find them to be an important part of balancing my meals. To help keep us on track I am sharing some ideas to find balance this season – all with greeeeens! Here we go. Start the day with a green monster. (A s moothie, that is.) : ) A light and bright green breakfast can really set the tone for a healthier day. It’s not a wise idea to sit down to Thanksgiving dinner totally famished, so I always t
