Traditional Foods for Thanksgiving

It's likely a turkey won't be the only thing stuffed this holiday. If you're like most people, you're probably going to overindulge this Thanksgiving. The holiday began as a harvest celebration shared by the pilgrims and Native Americans. But today's Thanksgiving is slightly different.We use food to show nurturing and love and wealth and health. The tradition of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving is steeped in myth and legend. Few people realize that the Pilgrims did not celebrate Thanksgiving the next year, or any year thereafter, though some of their descendants later made a "Forefather's Day" that usually occurred on December 21 or 22. Several Presidents, including George Washington, made one-time Thanksgiving holidays.
