Happy Friday! Last week I teamed up with District Weddings for a beautiful Thanksgiving shoot. District Weddings posed the following question to me: How can you eat healthy at Thanksgiving? So I whipped up the following menu that focused on volume of veggies in new ways (shredded brussels sprouts: obsessed) and also strong flavors that aren't heavy on the calories. Spices, vinegar and big impact things like caramelized onions add layers of texture and amazing tastes without 400 calories of cheese. Read my tips and see all the images.
