Bunnies like carrots! Carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and make a delicious dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth.

It’ll get you hopping with health like that Bunny!
After putting down deep roots in the South, the sweet potato spread across America to almost every Thanksgiving dinner. Why "save" them for Thanksgiving? They're too good to "save" just for special occasions. Not only do they have more taste than bland white potatoes, they have more nutrition, more fiber and fewer calories.
If you plan on eating it the following week or later, freeze meal-sized portions for the next time you'd rather reheat than cook. Plus, the smell of roasting chicken, a tasty stew or a hearty soup will fill the house with comforting, cozy smells that stimulate the senses on these chilly, gloomy winter days.
