Ususally these vegatable dishes are delicious because of the all sugar and other not so healthy ingredients that are added into the dishes. However,there's always other ingredients to subsitute the unhealthy ingredients to still have the same tasteful dish. 

Healthy Cooking Oil:

Dessert:

Desserts are usually contained with high amount of sugar. For this reason when deciding on a dessert, choose desserts that are relatively healthy. The following  healthy desserts to consider during thanksgiving would be, light sugar pumkin pie, spiced tea poached pears,and walnut apple crisps. 

Healthy Drinks:

Water with lemon is the obvious choice for a healthy beverage. However, with it being a fesitive occasion, it's natural to want to branch out to more tasteful drinks.
