Happy Thanksgiving Week!! Who’s ready for some time off to spend with friends and family?
Although holiday gatherings typically mean lots of meals and not-so-healthy foods, I want to share with you a recipe that has been a family favorite of ours for several decades!
I actually cleaned it up several years ago, when my brother was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. He has to be on a special diet and avoid things like dairy, gluten and sugar. Which is actually VERY conducive for fat loss. So it now remains as a HEALTHY family favorite option at our dinner table.
I hope you enjoy it! It’s one of my all time favorite recipes!
