Thanksgiving is probably the one time during the year that people everywhere eat their hearts out. However, just because it’s a day of feasting doesn’t mean we can’t continue eating food made with real ingredients!
You can have a real food Thanksgiving. Whether it’s cranberry sauce, stuffing, or potatoes there are recipes to help you switch out old traditional dishes for their real food versions.
Don’t think that these healthy versions taste sub par! They honestly taste amazing and after having a few years of having real food Thanksgivings, I hope my family never goes back to it’s former processed recipes.
Below you will find a great collection of Thanksgiving recipes that use real food ingredients. No sugar, no canned foods, no margarine. Just real food Thanksgiving recipes.
