Tis the season of eating poorly (at least for me).  It's so difficult to eat well when there are so many, umm, less-well options available.  C'mon:  pumpkin pie is hard to resist, and brussel sprouts are hard to choose over pie.

So, give me some suggestions:  what are some things that taste good & are good for me, too?  Foods available now, please.  Recipes appreciated.  Thanks & Go.

I'd eat brussels sprouts over pie any and every day of the week.  Pie just taskes like sugar, and while I like to eat pumpkins, I don't like to sweet confections made of pumpkins, so pumpkin pie has two strikes against it.

Get yourself a pumpkin, an eating pumpkin (the small sugar pumpkin) and stuff it full of rice and dill and bake it!  It's delicious.

I make a lot of turkey this time of year.  I use a pressure canner to turn the carcass into broth and stock for eating all next year.  Four turkeys makes a decent amount of stock.

My local farmer's market is fresh with brocolli.  Lots of brocolli.  It's delicious.  Especially with butter, but even without.

Beet season is coming.  Not only is it delicious, but it make peeing and pooping more festively colored!

Each Christmas season I will buy a big bag of mixed nuts still in the shell.  The nuts satisfy the urge to munch and the time it takes to crack each nut cuts way down on the urge to eat too fast and too much.

Blueberry and pineapple pie. Just don't add sugar, and be stingy with the butter in the crust. Hey presto, sweets without (much) guilt.

pumpkin soup.
it's the refined sugar.

Mrs Scry makes tofu chocolate like mousse. Not as awful as it sounds.

Wasa flatbread with any number of toppings usually satisfies cravings. A small amount of jam will satisfy a sweet tooth, and some sharp cheese will do well for something savory. I also like toasted nuts without salt.
