Happy Thanksgiving again everyone!! Hope you enjoy this day with all your loved ones and remember to be thankful for all the good in your lives. I am thankful for my children, and for all the wonderful people in my life who I love and adore. I am also very thankful for Tosca Reno and her never ending source of healthy recipes. Even on a day like today we can choose to Eat Clean and still enjoy our meal. Here’s a great “stuffing” recipe that doesn’t have to be eaten stuffed in to a turkey! I will be making this together with some of the other recipes I posted on Friday.
