Does anyone else love having a huge Thanksgiving? I do! I mean, I love it! This year we have 5 families celebrating together, which means a true Thanksgiving feast. And what’s best is I get to assign everyone their dishes to bring – hey-o! Super planner over here! Potluck holidays are so much fun and make the host’s life a lot easier; however, Thanksgiving is everyone’s excuse to overdose on butter, booze, and carbs so I found 25 Thanksgiving dishes that are 21 Day Fix friendly, and I’m so excited!
While I don’t expect my butter-lovin’ brother to follow any of these, I’ll be sure to sneak a couple healthier holiday options into the mix. And they won’t even know… *insert evil laugh here* Gobble gobble, everyone!
