Paleo-Style Stuffing
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the stuffing.I am not sure if its the bready taste or the semi-crunchy celery and onions, but it is the one thing I am hopelessly weak in avoiding.
Fortunately, the folks at Paleo Comfort Foods have come up with a yummy way to still enjoy stuffing with no of the regret!

Health Cranberry Sauce
It’s always been pretty traditional around my family to use the good-old canned variety of cranberry sauce. Aside from the dangerous plastics lining the can, the cranberries can have added sugars a less-than-fresh origin.
The folks over at The Paleo Diet Lifestyle have a ton of yummy recipes over at their site.
