Focus on turkey at your meal

Move over, turkey—it’s time for the sides to shine! ?????? According to the 2024 State of the Sides report, 55% of Americans would rather pile their plates high with sides than turkey, and nearly 40% would skip the turkey altogether in favor of a plate full of their favorite sides. It’s clear: the sides are the real stars of the Thanksgiving table! (https://lnkd.in/gGwS23HA) Now that we’re officially in the week of Thanksgiving, we want to know: ?

When I first got married, I wanted to be this amazing wife who made gourmet meals for her husband every night. And I did and we gained a good 10 pounds our first year. What I learned is that every meal does not need to be fancy and gourmet. Gourmet equals high fat, carbs and calories. So I’ve tried to teach my children to appreciate the true function of food, which is to fuel your body and to get the nutrients that it needs. Celebrations involve food and that is fine. It’s something to wait for and look forward to. It’s not something to expect every meal or even once a week. Our relationship with food has become very dysfunctional where everything revolves around it. We deny ourselves nothing. We believe that if we crave it, we need it when in fact, we just want it. If we held off just a few minutes, we might even forget about the craving. Sometimes cravings are a signal that isn’t food-related. For instance, oftentimes when we are dehydrated, we register it as hunger so if you hydrate properly a lot of cravings will subside. But enough about that. Let’s get back to the ham… Coke ham is what my boys look forward to all year. They endure a LOT of chicken breast, ground turkey and fish so I don’t hold back when the holidays come around. This bad boy is simple and always comes out delicious. Take a bone in ham and place it in a baking bag. Pour a 2 liter bottle of Coke in, close it up and bake according to the cook time and temp on the ham you have. Hi, I’ll be back next week with some leftover recipes and who doesn’t love leftovers ?! ?? #midliferevive #healthylifestyle #whatdoyoustrugglewith
