Healthy Holidays: Turkey Sausage, Apple, & Cranberry Stuffing

Posted by Aaron Hoffman on Nov 22, 2013 1:51:00 PM

Next week is Thanksgiving and officially kicks off eating season. The average American consumes 4,500 calories and 229 grams of fat at Thanksgiving dinner alone - more than twice what you should be eating daily. That doesn't include any other meals you'll eat that day and all the leftovers consumed several days after.

I'm personally not one who wants to count calories during Thanksgiving as the holiday is more about enjoying time with your family and eating dishes you wouldn't normally indulge in. Holiday food brings back fond memories of family tradition and good times so I automatically shut off when I hear people preaching non-traditional dishes to replace normal fair. I don't find anything celebratory about eating seeds, raw kale, fat free processed foods, and meat substitutes. There may be a time for that, but in my opinion that time is NOT Thanksgiving dinner.

Healthy Holidays: Green Bean Casserole

Posted by Aaron Hoffman on Nov 15, 2013 4:45:00 PM

Green bean casserole used to be something I tolerated, but never got super excited about. It was one of those recipes created by a food manufacturer (specifically Campbell's) to promote the sale of their products. When's the last time you thought to yourself, "I've got to have me some cream of mushroom soup for lunch?". Who the heck eats cream of mushroom soup unless it's added to casserole? Nobody.
