How To Have A Real Food Thanksgiving (See my holiday plan!)

By

I had the funniest Uber driver the other day…

He asked me, “You aren’t cooking for Thanksgiving are you?” I responded, “Of course!” and when he seemed surprised I laughed… “Ha ha, you have no idea who you’re talking to!” After I rattled off a short list of the items I was making, he gave pause and joked back, “Are you Martha Stewart?”

LOL… I’m definitely not Martha Stewart, but my Thanksgiving game is pretty strong.

It wasn’t always this way. Back in the day if I was “making” anything for Thanksgiving I’d usually wait until the last minute and grab processed items like canned cranberry sauce, supermarket rolls, and packaged stuffing mix. Can you relate?

If you’re feeling behind and want some help getting a “real food” Thanksgiving feast together, I’ve got something you are going to love…

Years ago, I put together all of my holiday recipes along with shopping and prepping tips and published them in an eBook. It includes a full holiday menu that you can use for not just Thanksgiving, but any holiday celebration – with over 20 recipes for appetizers, entrees, desserts. It’s my personal healthy holiday roadmap!

Since I am so THANKFUL for you and the incredible support you have shown for my new book Feeding You Lies this week, I am going to give you my holiday eBook for free!

One thing on (almost) everyone’s mind for Thanksgiving is the turkey…

If you eat meat, remember the best choice is an organic, pasture-raised turkey. This way you will avoid turkeys that were raised on antibiotics (and other growth promoting drugs) and GMO feed. Organic turkeys do tend to sell out early though! This is one area that it is good to plan out in advance. You can typically order an organic turkey from a local farmer, or specialty grocer such as Whole Foods or Earth Fare. Some major grocery stores carry them now too! If you weren’t able to get your hands on one this year, don’t beat yourself up. Just make note to check earlier next year and make it part of your regular holiday routine!

Here’s a quick list of some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes on the blog…

  1. Cornbread Stuffing
  2. Raw Stuffing
  3. Spaghetti Squash Casserole
  4. Cranberry Sauce
  5. Garlic Roasted Vegetables with Lentils
  6. Raw Brussels Sprouts Good Fortune Salad
  7. Healing Everyday Hummus
  8. Roasted Pumpkin Spice Nuts
  9. Coconut Milk Ice Cream
  10. Pumpkin Pie With Coconut Whipped Cream

P.S. My new book is almost here, have you heard the news?

Feeding You Lies: How to Unravel the Food Industry’s Playbook and Reclaim Your Health, is available to pre-order now.

I expose the shameless lies we are being fed about our food by the very people we should be able to trust for health information…

…lies about its nutrient value, effects on our health, label information, and even the very science on which we make our food choices. It’s investigative, hard-hitting, and a must read.

Get it locally near you here or at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
