Mike Adams — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:22:32 +0000

We heard the average gluttonous American will consume some 4,500 calories this Thanksgiving Day, according to the Calorie Control Council. However, that statistic may be a bit exaggerated—unless your idea of a holiday feast is about 16 slices of pepperoni pizza with large soda chaser, that is.

The Annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day is always a good time! So burn a few calories before the big meal and enjoy a 1 mile or 5K race!

There is no racing going on when I'm doing it...at least NOT for me. I'm lucky just to jog the whole thing. But, it's good exercise and lots of fu

Big Jim — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:55:38 +0000

The idea that people have Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant is new to me. It’s such a family holiday with an emphasis on being together at home! But apparently many families go out for the meal.

Turkey, Ham, Prime Rib..What's YOUR Favorite For Thanksgiving?

Faith Martin — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:27:02 +0000

I think most years I cook a turkey. I think if I remember correctly I ruined a prime rib once because my meat thermometer was broken. I usually do a spiral ham for Christmas so I resort to a turkey each thanksgiving. I like the left over turkey sandwiches and it’s pretty hard to mess [...]

Mike Adams — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:58:03 +0000

The price of turkey is going to be cheaper than expected this year, largely because many retailers were able to lock in the cost of the birds before the summer’s drought sent feed prices way, way up.

When Turkeys Attack — 10 Terrifying Gobblers [VIDEOS]

Brendan McGinley — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:54:01 +0000

Let's face it: turkeys have it pretty rough. They let us feed and breed them, blissfully unaware of the inevitable culmination of our kindness: DELICIOUS MURDER. (Even worse? They can't fly away.)
