You Told Us ... What Your Favourite Thanksgiving Dish Is

Your Turn


Ah Thanksgiving. Is there anything better than a day dedicated to food, family, friends and fabulous slothfulness? It's all great, but one of our favourite aspects of the day is the food.

So last week, I asked you what your favourite Thanksgiving Day dish is. Here's what you had to say:

  • 32 percent of you love the stuffing.
  • 22 percent of you love potatoes -- either mashed or sweet.
  • 20 percent of you love turkey the best.
  • 16 percent of you hold out for dessert -- it's your favourite part of the meal.
  • 8 percent of you love the veggies.
  • 2 percent of you are crazy about cranberry sauce.

Thanks for sharing ... though all of a sudden. I'm feeling a bit hungry.

Top 10 holiday diet disasters

Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements

For me, participating in a cookie exchange at Christmas is bad news. I always tell myself I'm joining because I want to collect a bunch of different kinds of cookies so I can freeze them and bring them out when company is over, but who am I kidding? Those suckers are gone by Christmas Eve. And really, I don't get enough company to justify 12 dozen different varieties.

Diet guru Julia Havey recently put together a list of the worst holiday diet disasters. Here are her picks:
  • Egg Nog. One serving is 460 calories!
  • Cheese balls. They're pretty much all fat. Ick.
  • Pecan Pie. It's 500 calories per slice, and that's without ice cream
  • Candied yams. They'll pack a sugar punch, especially if they have marshmallows.
  • Canned Cranberry Sauce. It has 200 calories per half cup, and zero nutritional value. Make your own
  • Stuffing. You can make healthy stuffing, so do it instead of relying on Stove Top
What's your holiday vice?
