Less than a week from now, I will be close to stuffed like a turkey. My rule on Thanksgiving Day is to eat what you like and with what--no guilt. Depending on your background, Thanksgiving is one of the few times out of the year when you get your favorites all in one--cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes AND gravy, you name it. So the point is to enjoy it, not feel guilty about it, and hold it dear as a time of fellowship with your loved ones--even if it’s centered around a meal that’s on average 3,000 calories strong. I mentioned “depending on your background,” because I do know people who have Thanksgiving-esque dinners almost every Sunday. If this is you and your family, perhaps you shouldn’t eat everything that's on the table.
