Thanksgiving: Two Yummy Simple Clean Ups

by Nancy Weyrauch Mehlert, MS

Cranberry Sauce and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving

The cranberry sauce and the pumpkin pie can be two big sources of sugar at Thanksgiving. But it isn’t necessary, and you don’t have to give up great flavor and taste! The pie crust is an excellent gluten free option for every kind of pie. If you can find CoCo Whip in the freezer section of your grocery store, it is an excellent replacement for those other common whips full of hydrogenated damaged oils.  Enjoy and Give Thanks!
