Yummy Thanksgiving Stuff...

To make our feast hearty and festive without overdoing it, we lean toward mostly naturally gluten-free dishes that are vegetable-forward. As a bonus, this strategy allows the special dieters at the table (ourselves included!) to have plates as full as the traditionalists.

So here’s to eating well — but not leaving the table feeling as stuffed as (someone else’s) turkey. We hope you and your families have a happy Thanksgiving! Now go crush that Turkey Trot.

Thanks for reading — we are grateful for so very much this year, including the opportunity to interact with the amazing triathlon community in this space....
