Hi Friend,


Have you finalized your plans for Thanksgiving yet? It's been on my mind this week, and like many people, we've decided to skip the big family gathering this year. Weather permitting, we plan to do something during the day with a handful of local family members outdoors (with other precautions) and then we'll have dinner separately in our own homes.


Because of this, I'm planning to keep the meal simple (but still special!). Below are some delicious, yet easy Thanksgiving sides ideas I think you'll love. I've also got some walking motivation and a few extras for your holiday celebration. Hope you enjoy!

 
 

What to Drink: Natural Wine

Dry Farm Wines* is offering a fantastic selection of Thanksgiving Natural Wines: you can choose from reds, whites, a mix, rosés, or sparkling wines to pair with your special meal.  


I'm a huge fan of their wines and appreciate the steps they take to ensure that they're not only delicious and refreshing, but also pure. All wines are:

  • From small family vineyards that are dry-farmed (sustainable & traditional practices)

  • Organically or biodynamically grown

  • Independently lab tested to be free of artificial additives and pesticides (i.e. glyphosate)

  • Sugar-free (Keto and Paleo friendly)

  • Lower alcohol


Dry Farm Wines has great customer service and offers a 100% Happiness Promise to replace or refund any wine you don’t love, no fees or loopholes.  Click here to shop the Thanksgiving selections.

 

Where to Shop for Non-Perishables: Thrive Market

Thrive Market* is my go-to for non-perishables like organic spices, snacks, and nuts. I love their selection of healthy products, their values as a business, discounted prices, and the fact that it all usually shows up at my door within 48 hrs of placing an order.


Here's a video I posted a while back; I also have a few hauls in the Shopping List Highlight of my Instagram profile with some of my other kitchen and personal care favorites. I've partnered with Thrive Market to offer the Kaleifornian community a free gift (up to $24 value) with a Thrive Market membership purchase. Learn more here.


These are the Simple Mills grain-free Pumpkin muffins topped with the Thrive Market organic grain-free Pumpkin granola that we're loving recently (the banana version is a big hit too!).

Thank you so much for reading!


As always, if you have a chance to try a recipe, let me know how it turned out with a comment on Instagram or a rating for any that are on Kaleifornian.com -- these are much appreciated!


Wishing you a safe and healthy week ahead and a happy Thanksgiving!


Be Well,

Jess XO
