Thanksgiving Tips For the Family

Hi everyone, 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your families if you celebrate Thanksgiving or not!!
My daughter Gabriella and I baked two pies for the occasion. One pie was a double crusted apple pie with fresh organic apples and the other ingredients were organic of course. The other was  pumpkin pie all made with organic ingredients from Whole Foods. Any store Wegmans.com that carries organic foods or the farmers markets will do.

I got both recipes off the Wholefoods website which has tons of great healthy recipes and they also have a shopping list application which of course you have to sign up for using your e-mail address.

You can then add all of your ingredients from any recipes you have found along with your other shopping items and the application will allow you to save your shopping lists and your recipes.

You may then either print it out, e-mail it to your self or what I do is have it sent straight to my phone so I can pull it up while I am out shopping which makes life so much easier because I take my phone with me everywhere.

Go to WholeFoods and click on shopping list after creating your account first of course.

We had a delicious dinner at my brother in law Michael home in Pennsylvania about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Washington D.C.

We ate fresh corn on the cob from a nearby farm, organic stuffing and mashed potatoes among other things. We drank Santa Cruz Organic Juice, and Spring Water.

For those of you who do eat turkey we highly recommend getting an organic or  farm raised turkey free from hormones and anti-biotics.

Eatwellguide.com has a listing of local,organic, Eco-sustainble super markets,farmers markets,restaurants etc.all categorized by business types and food types are also available for example kosher or gluten free etc.

It's a great resource and tool to help you and your family plan healthier alternative meals for a healthier lifestyle for cooking at home and for those times when you are eating out.

The website is also national so you can share it with your friends and family.

The eating guide gives you the specific locations of the different businesses as well as directions and mileage.


Til next time Eat Well Be well!!
