Dear Friends and Family,
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that means it's time to contemplate the annual mouse Thanksgiving menu.
I made a promise last year to try to make Thanksgiving healthier, one dish at a time. So, last year, instead of my yearly indulgence in Pillsbury crescent rolls, I baked bread for Thanksgiving.
This year, I crossed the blueberry pie and the pumpkin pie off the list. We never make the blueberry pie. And, we never finish the pies we make. This change increases the chances the pie gets finished and ultimately reduces the number of calories we're consuming since we're eating one pie and not three - which must be healthier.
Why did I keep apple pie and not pumpkin pie? Well, for one, we both like apple pie more. And, we can make it with real ingredients vs. pumpkin pie, for us, comes out of two cans - one of pumpkin and one of evaporated milk. And, last but not least, it's prettier. Nothing like a giant pie at the Thanksgiving table.
Cheers!
