Thanksgiving is the one holiday where gluttony becomes everybody’s sin but I’m not judging because I love food as much as Emeril loves to say “BAM!”

I can’t think of any American who doesn’t love a plate (or several plates) of good food, football, the couch and family. That’s just living the dream right there.

Now most families have the traditional spread—turkey, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes and some bread with butter. My family is slightly non-traditional.
