We spent the holiday week celebrating with my family in Minneapolis.  We brined a killer organic, free-range turkey (pretty much the best turkey ever had, ever).  We ate delicious food, laughed, and played.  It was a beautiful week.

In terms of healthy eating, I employed my tried and true strategy of trying a little of everything without loading up on the bad stuff.  I started with veggies and Russian zakuski (small plates), so I could just have a bit of the yummy turkey and delectable desserts. No stomach aches, no guilt, and no drama!  I also made sure to focus on the real focus of this beautiful holiday — family and celebration (not stuffing my face!).

How did your Thanksgiving go? And how do you feel in the aftermath? I’d love to hear your experience!
