It seems like the minute Halloween ended, the Christmas season began, with the stores in my neighborhood decked out with trees and stockings, and my inbox full of gift guides!

The 2023 Gimme gift guide is growing daily, but can we also talk about the other holiday? The one in November that we all celebrate?

Here are some of the ways you can make this year’s Thanksgiving healthier and saner:

Use Gimme’s own Thanksgiving recipes. There are several healthy Thanksgiving recipes that we’ve been making since I was born, and my unbiased opinion is that they are the yummiest ones to exist. We’ve published the super simple recipes for:

• My dad’s top-secret cranberry sauce
• My mom’s favorite maple yams
• My mom’s famous sprouted stuffing

Enjoy a hangover-free buzz. The holidays are a great time to enjoy some healthy, organic wine. I wrote about what to look for in wine in this post, and I now only really drink Dry Farm wines. Every bottle is lab-tested to be sugar-free, carb-free, low-sulfites (and never added sulfites), organic or biodynamically grown, hand-harvested, made in small batches, and free of all additives.

Cook with safer cookware. We’ve just updated our Safe Cookware Guide to help you upgrade to only non-leaching, non-off-gassing items as we enter the biggest cooking season of the year. My favorites for holiday cooking are this dutch oven, an Always Pan, and some ceramic food storage items.

I hope you have a wonderful, sane Thanksgiving!

Stay sane,
