Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! Here is a quick holiday tip for you:
Don't stand by the food at the party. You will
be less likely to partake in unconscious snacking all night if you instead
move, mingle and socialize with friends!! Or, ladies, carry a clutch in
one hand and a beverage in the other- your hands will be full and that leaves
no fingers for nibbling on the sweets!

As Thanksgiving approaches, turkey is typically the talk of the
town. Stuffing, cornbread and cranberry sauce may round out
your main course, but if you're anything like me, you crave
what comes next!
This traditional pie will satisfy your sweet cravings without setting you up for a sugar crash. (xylitol and stevia are the only two natural sugars that do not spike your blood sugar levels) YUM!
