Fruit Fetish: Apples

 

Today dawns the week of Thanksgiving.

A week of self-inflicted misery.

We will arrive hours early to our dinners,
letting our taste buds salivate to the point of excruciating torment, and then…

We will engorge our bodies with things that only a Grinch could hate.

Giant Turkeys. Hams.
Stuffing.
Rolls and Cornbread.
Mashed Taters.
Sweet Potato Casserole. With Marshmallows and brown sugar.
Gravies and Buttery Sauces
Another roll or two.
Pies. Cakes. Fudge. Puddings. Pumpkin Rolls.
Eggnog. Hot Chocolate. Spiced Cider.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to it too. But, I’m not too keen about lying in comatose state all weekend.

So in honor of healthy holiday eating, I’ll be featuring a series this week on how to include
more fruits and veggies in your cooking this season.
