The holidays are right around the corner as Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Although these are times for celebration, some people get overwhelmed at the thought of what they will be eating during these festivities. There are those who are on diets to lose weight and those who follow a very strict regime for health reasons. They have to find ways in which to be creative, enjoy the holidays, and stick to their diets. So is the case for people following Paleo diets. For them, we have Erika Schlick’s help with her Paleo Thanksgiving Menu Round Up.
Who is Erika Schlick?
Erika Schlick knows from personal experience how to create recipes to help you stick to a specific diet. Years ago, she was diagnosed with Lyme disease—among other autoimmune diseases—and got herself into remission without antibiotics. Different changes in her life helped her get back into the healthy path, and modifying her diet was one of the biggest changes. She has been documenting her new way of living, her recipes, and her adventures in her blog: The Trail to Health.
As a Blogger, Cookbook Author, and Life Coach, Schlick’s main goal is to help people realize they can still lead a life of fulfillment, fun, and adventure while enjoying a delicious meal even after receiving a diagnosis that changes everything. She is the prime example of how to take back control of your life and continue to do all those activities and eat the food that makes you happy.
A Paleo Thanksgiving
Erika Schlick understands what it is like to feel you are sitting at a table without any options to choose from. She does not want this to happen to you during the holidays, especially Thanksgiving with so many delicious pies right in front of you. For that reason, she created on her blog a craving-satisfier Paleo Thanksgiving Menu Round Up. And do not worry, her menu includes everything you have been craving the other 364 days of the year!
We all know the perfect Thanksgiving menu includes a turkey, sides, saladas, sauces, desserts, and beverages. Each one of those ingredients is fundamental to have a delicious and enjoyable dinner with your family and friends. As an experienced recipe-creator, Schlick knows this and created the perfect menu with a turkey recipe, nine different sides, four salads, three sauces, six desserts, and four types of beverages. Doesn’t it sound perfect?
If you are wondering what you can expect from this menu, here is a quick look at what this Cookbook Author has put together:
