In this coming week falls the day we (here in the US at least) give thanks for all of the things that make our lives great – close family, good friends, abundant health, unparalleled freedoms…
It’s also a day we traditionally surround ourselves with those same friends and family and stuff ourselves to discomfort, eating from shortly after sunrise until well after sunset and indulging in a variety of dishes that at one time loosely represented the bounty of harvest at the end of a successful growing season. It’s a time to try new things, or at least things you don’t eat on a regular basis… Perhaps because you don’t really think about cranberry “jelly” the other 364 days of the year, or perhaps because after that first bite of the sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallows, the fondness you’ve been relishing for the past month or so leading up to the holiday is replaced with the recollection that your taste buds (and your metabolism) really aren’t made to handle that full frontal assault of glucose that just exploded in your mouth.
For us, we’ll be the guests at someone else’s house for the holiday this year, so we we won’t have the opportunity to plan out a full menu of Primal foods to enjoy. Rest assured, we will be bringing a couple Primal dishes to share and give others the chance to see how good healthy food really can be. In the interest of enjoying good food while not fully derailing your own Primal habits, we thought it fitting to offer a little “link love” today to recipes that we might use for a Thanksgiving feast…even if not entirely traditional. We’re putting it up today so you’ve got a little time to plan, shop, prepare, and otherwise get things ready for some new traditions.
