For those Thanksgiving cooks

No useful thanksgiving comment as I already cooked ours a month ago.

There is no link between eating cholesterol and levels of blood cholesterol (unless you are a rabbit) New research has shown if you want to lower cholesterol try lowering empty carbs.

My idea of healthy is to use real foods, real ingredients etc.
So yeah, we use real butter, raw, whole milk etc. But I don't keep margarine in the house anyway.
Now, I will add a whole package of cream cheese to the mashed potatoes though, normally I leave that out

Also, I am lazy and the apple pies will have store bought crust. There was a time when I made the crust from scratch too, but I was never good enough at it that it made that much of a difference in taste. Nutrition sure, but I'm not the best baker, so my home made crust was usually hit or miss LOL.
