Cookbook

Foreword

Throughout the world, a day is often
set aside to give thanks. Each country
has its own customs, but the desire to
give thanks is still the underlying
theme of every celebration. In the
United States, Thanksgiving is
celebrated on the fourth Thursday
in November. It is a time for family
members and friends to gather, relax,
and enjoy themselves. Our Thanksgiving
recipes give parents and children a positive
way to interact while experiencing the joy of
preparing healthy holiday foods together.

The Great South Region Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition) is pleased to share with you the Festive Family Thanksgiving Cookbook. Recipes were selected for excellent taste, reasonable cost and availability of ingredients. All recipes were kitchen and taste tested to assure satisfaction. By choosing the recipes found in this cookbook, you can offer family and friends a superb meal without extra fat and calories. Healthy holiday eating does not have to be boring! This year give your family the best of both-great taste and good health.
