Happy Thanksgiving! Here's an idea I wanted to try that I'm dubbing "Ground Thanksgiving". It's a bowl of food that combines many Thanksgiving type dishes. We have ground turkey, roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts, and sauteed carrots. And of course it has my Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce mixed in, and features many fall spices like rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, and cloves
