Hello Everyone,

It's that time of the year where in most places they are starting to have some cool mornings (although as of this writing it is 81 degrees here in Florida). With only 62 days remaining, everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving this month and then the big one – the Christmas holidays. 

As a child, Thanksgiving was always a big day for me.  Everyone went to my Grandparents house for dinner.  All of my aunts, uncles and cousins were there.  We played football out in Grandma’s yard.  And of course…..there was always a fight for Grandma’s secret recipe chocolate pies. 

In fact, one year my Uncle Kenny arrived early with a plan.  He took one of the three chocolate pies that Grandma made each year and he hid it on the top of her china cabinet.  There was an ornate design across the top, so you could not see the pie.  There was only one flaw to his strategy.  He forgot the pie when he left that day and unfortunately Grandma found it……..a couple of months later!

Did you know that Ben Franklin proposed turkey to be the U.S. state bird? Did you know that over 270 million turkeys are produced in the U.S. each year?  Maybe a better question is do you even care? We wish you a very happy Thanksgiving holiday.

Important Dates/Events in November

Nutrition & Health Tips (by the way, we are not giving medical advise)

• One ounce of almonds contains 75 milligrams of calcium -- needed to build stronger bones.
• According to University of Tennessee researchers, dieters who took in 1,200 to 1,300 mg of calcium each day had 3 times the weight loss around their mid sections as those who didn't take calcium.
• Guava has almost twice as much vitamin C as an orange.
• Turkey is healthy. A single serving (3.5 oz) of turkey breast without the skin has 30 g of protein and only 4 g of fat.
  
• According to an International Stroke Conference, sleep apnea raises the risk of dying after you have a stroke by 5 times.
• The International Journal of Obesity reports that dieters who ate about 70 almonds each day lost almost 40% more than dieters who did not eat almonds.

Speaking of eating healthy, check out our Bacon Explosion video blog where we made a 4 Pound Bacon Explosion (2 pounds of bacon and 2 pounds of sausage).
