Many of us will gather around the table to celebrate Thanksgiving in a couple days, and if your family is anything like mine, there will be an abundance of food. We’ll talk and eat and laugh and eat some more. We’ll all go home with leftovers for a week, and you’d better believe I’m already thinking about the turkey sandwich I’ll make the next day. 

Thanksgiving dinner is the quintessential feast. 

When I'm trying to step up my vegetable eating game, it's easy for me to get stuck in a salad rut. I tend to make the same old pile of lettuce, a few chopped carrots and maybe a cucumber or bell pepper. After a while it's just...well...boring. And eating - even eating healthfully - shouldn't be boring. 

It has been a busy few weeks. Apparently in the midst of the busyness, September showed up. Is it just me, or does it seem like this month came out of nowhere? Last I knew, I was brainstorming a thousand different summer recipes, and the hubs and I were researching the grill we were finally going to buy.
