Recently in some of my chisel and aerobic classes the instructors are already warning us to be mindful of our eating habits during the holidays. Skip over that extra piece of pie or watch that extra portion of gravy. Most people put on weight during the holidays and they mentioned that we should start now so we do not over eat. This whole weight gain actually starts at Halloween with all the candy the kids bring home. I have worked hard to get my weight down and can only hope I don’t put on but may be a pound or two at the most but ideally none would be great.

With that in mind we could all use some healthy and useful Thanksgiving Recipes. There is a Roast Turkey with Herbal Rub that I find very appealing and will have to try on some turkey cutlets that I recently bought. It is very difficult to find turkey breasts alone. For the families who want to start a Thanksgiving tradition of their own this is a very informative site to peruse for ideas and recipes. I also found some Banana Bread recipes to try out. I have one recipe that I use all the time but a few of theirs has an even more banana use than what mine called for and I dearly love bananas.

The MomsWhoThink website is very eye appealing as well as informative. I can only imagine that quite a few mothers in various professions have contributed their own recipes and knowledge to the website. MomsWhoThink is a must for expecting, new and seasoned mothers. The website also caters to single people as well just from their recipe selection such as the Easy Recipes section which I found interesting due to the crock pot recipes. With working all day at the hospital, I always try to find crock pot recipes that will cook long enough while I’m at work and be ready when I get home but not overcooked.

MomsWhoThink also has Thanksgiving activities for the family to do such as cooking together to help bring the kids in on the experience so they feel just as important in helping make a great meal for the entire family. This can be from just mixing some stuffing together to helping make some cookies as well as decorating them. They have accomplished something that everyone can enjoy and maybe want to be more proactive about helping out even during everyday dinners. I recommend this website to any and everyone with or without children.
