In a pinch, I'm a big fan of frozen meals from Amy's Kitchen, and I particularly like the "bowls." I always keep a few in my freezer just in case I don't have time to make lunch. While the Country Cheddar Bowl is my favorite, I also like the Stuffed Pasta Shells.

T-Day minus one and counting! I have even quizzed you on the typical caloric load of the meal. But what happens after the food leaves your mouth?

Of course we're going to enjoy the traditional treats on Thanksgiving, indulging in a piece of pumpkin pie and savoring our family's special stuffing. Selecting one piece of pie and refraining from returning for a second helping of that stuffing is the way to walk away from the meal without guilt. Subsisting on Thanksgiving leftovers for the week that follows is what causes the holiday pounds, so prevent holiday-related weight gain by ditching the high-calorie culprits.

Introducing large quantities of rich "people food" into a pet's diet on Thanksgiving is bad for their tummies! In fact, some typical holiday fare should never be fed to pets. One sure way to be certain no one slips up is to place the appropriate portion of your furry friend's normal snacks in a convenient location.

Thanksgiving grocery shopping led me to two different grocery stores (Safeway and Trader Joe's), and as luck would have it I still missed a couple of items on my list. I'm hosting a few friends for the holiday and can't wait to make all of the traditional holiday treats, with a twist, of course.
If you've been to the store to pick up your own Thanksgiving feast ingredients than you may have some good luck on the quiz that asks about how much some of these items cost.

In my family, Thanksgiving tends to be a full day of nonstop eating. With all the delicious foods on the table, from turkey, to cranberry walnut stuffing, to real mashed potatoes and gravy, to the smorgasbord of desserts, you just don't want to stop. Here are some tips to prevent yourself from feeling engorged.

Well-fed guests are a Thanksgiving hostess's goal, and that frame of mind often leads to a meal that would feed 20 more mouths than are seated at the table. Sure you can send some people home with leftovers, but you're spending much more than necessary if your feast is big enough to feed a small army. You can still have your roasted turkey sandwich with stuffing and next-day mashed potato pancakes without spending twice the money needed to create a bountiful holiday table.

"Over the river and through the wood, to grandmother's house we go." I love a Thanksgiving road trip, but I don't love the unhealthy food options on the road. I could splurge a little and order a Whopper, but truthfully, I know if I eat it, I'll feel like crap.
