A little flour and butter is all we ever had in our family's gravy.
I've never heard of sugar!
Small meals mean less spikes so, small portions are best.
A special meal like Thanksgiving can be a small cheat. But a huge meal of anything on this day is bad for you. Might as well have some small bits of what you like...unless you think going off the wagon will lead to MORE cheating in the future?
I think historically the most toxic food at Thanksgiving was
Cool Whip and pie crust made with Crisco solid, and some stuffings....made with transfats.
I miss holiday cookies myself.
