«It's almost time for Americans to visit with loved ones, express gratitude, and eat a really, really big meal. This year, we'll provide tips to help you celebrate Thanksgiving with less impact.
Tip #1: Try Regional Recipes
Traditional Thanksgiving meals tend to favor fall produce, so it's a great time to focus on locally-grown fruits and veggies. Consider adapting time-honored recipes to reflect your region's growing season and local history. For a fun challenge, plan either one dish or the entire meal with ingredients grown or produced within 100 miles of your home. Check out the Daily Green's 100-mile Thanksgiving meal plans for five different U.S. cities to find examples of creative, local solutions.
