181112 - Motivation Monday - “healthy substitutions”

There’s tons of info graphics out there (see below) that will tell you how to make “healthy substitutions” for your Thanksgiving Day cooking. It’s a great thought but instead, why not just enjoy the deliciousness that holiday brings and be satisfied with that then move on with your life! If you’re eating healthy the majority of the time, then one big holiday feast isn’t going to throw a wrench into all of your hard work. Don’t switch up Great Grandma Gertrude’s famous green bean casserole for a less flavorful “healthier alternative”…what would she think!? Be with family, enjoy tasty food, and don’t stress about switching out that sweet pumpkin pie for “unsweetened pumpkin flavored mashed cauliflower” …gross…
