Foodie's Guide to Eating Well

Thoughts on food, cooking, and dining out

Can Someone Say "Resolution?"

What more could a foodie want than an entire holiday dedicated to feasting? I do love Thanksgiving. However, being a foodie is nothing short of a huge liability this time of year... road trips mean being forced to eat foods prepared under Golden Arches, travels to small towns to visit the in-laws where dining at nine o'clock is considered eating in the middle of night, daily treats brought to the office by co-workers, and huge family meals with no end of childhood favorites to choose from. It leaves me in a constant state of flux, between being disgusted with my food and picking at overcooked, overprocessed options, to being constantly stuffed by refusing to leave the dinner table without at least trying a bite of each dish.

How will I make it through the next four weeks? New Year's can not come soon enough, with resolutions certain to include healthy eating, moderation, and dropping some pesky pounds. Until then, bring on the figgy pudding.
