I grew up in a family that loves to eat. Food was celebrated and embraced, and well, devoured. Food was mostly abundant, and we enjoyed a delicious variety. In my grown-up years I became very interested in the way that food affected the well-being of my body, my mind, and my emotions. I became more conscientious of what I ate and slowly began modifying my diet.
I still love to eat. And it's hard to kick those cravings for deep-fat-fried foods, or delicious, creamy and sweet desserts. But I am mostly grateful for the chance to step back and be more intentional and thoughtful about what I eat. I am thankful that I can pass on, hopefully, not only an appreciation for food but also an active knowledge of how food affects our well-being.
As Thanksgiving draws near I am getting more and more excited about enjoying a Thanksgiving feast with dear friends. This year I want to try this and maybe turn it into a family tradition. What are some of your favorite thanksgiving recipes?
