Friday Link Lovin’ [#5] Thanksgiving Edition

Posted:11/20/15
Updated:9/1/19

Friday Link Lovin' [Fit Mitten Kitchen]

<Currently dancing in my chair for the fact it is Friday> WOOT WOOT.

So with Thanksgiving fast approaching (next Thursday… duh) I thought I’d share just a feewwwww more recipes in today’s Link Lovin’ post than I normally would. And by a few I obviously mean a ton. So if you are running out of ideas (not sure how you could with the beloved Pinterest these days….) or you’re looking to narrow down your options, here are some great (healthy) Thanksgiving-inspired recipes from some AH-MAZING bloggers around the world wide web.

RECIPE Link Lovin’ ::

Delicata Squash Salad with Kale, Pecans, & Apples

 

BRUSSELS SPROUTS (Yes, they get their own category…)

Apple Brussels Sprouts Hash

Balsamic Sea Salt Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Almond Dressing

Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Toasted Hazelnuts

 

CORNBREAD & STUFFING

MORE SIDES

Vegan & Gluten-Free Apple Crumble Pie

Homemade Apple Pie with Chai Spices

Grain-Free Pumpkin Brownies

Vegan Pumpkin Pie

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies

Vegan No-Bake Brownie Swirls

Raw Vegan Espresso Pie

Deep Dish French Silk Pie


HECK YES THERE IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FOOD ON MY TABLE. (Can you tell dessert might be a favorite? Well, and brussels sprouts of course.)

And I may have snuck in some traditional not-so-healthy recipes because really, sometimes you just need that traditional apple pie #WWSD. And french silk is one of my favorites, so yeah we’re going all out here.

But the real question is…. who is coming over to help me make all of this wonderful food? Apparently we’re hosting a small village with this spread.


FITNESS Link Lovin’ ::

And because the holidays are pretty much here, I wanted to share some helpful tips from two great healthy living bloggers, Jess and Carly.

Jess shares 4 Ways to Have a Balanced Thanksgiving and Carly shares with us 9 Ways to Stay Healthy Through the Holidays. Both have some equally great ideas, and I know for certain I’ll be thinking about many of the things they talk about in their posts, i.e. squeezing in a few planks and quality over quantity.

And one more thing you can do to keep your health in mind throughout the holiday season… Elf 4 Health 2015 Challenge! Lindsay and Georgie are teaming up “to promote health and wellness during the holidays, a time when healthy habits tend to fall to the wayside”. There will be daily challenges as well as a positive and supportive Facebook group. Don’t miss this fun way to challenge ourselves to be our best during this busy time of year! I love what these girls are all about, so I can’t wait to join in on the fun.


WELP. That’s a wrap, folks.

Hope you are all having a lovely day and getting ready to make some massive grocery lists 😉

HAPPY FRIYAY

      😀 Of course!
      I’m sure it was good to unplug though. Thinking I might need that break soon! 😉
