With Wholly Macro's recent change to Wednesday deliveries, the timing is absolutely perfect for letting Wholly Macro do your Thanksgiving cooking for you. Or at least letting us help you out with it since we do a virtual Thanksgiving feast every single week for our Delivery Service, so have plenty of practice!!

We have a wonderful menu planned for you this week, and for ourselves too!

In the past years many of our clients have ordered enough food to serve at their own Thanksgiving meals. You would be absolutely amazed at how beautiful a dish like the Wild Wild Rice Pilaf for example, looks displayed on a beautiful platter, and equally amazed at just how much food is really in a container when spread out in a bowl or on a platter. Our compactly designed containers are very deceiving!

Thanksgiving is an old and very traditional holiday. It originates from a time long before there were supermarkets, highways, airplanes, pesticides, genetic engineering, and the like. It was born of local,

Native American Wild Rice

seasonal, purely natural native american food, "peasant" food as it were, beginning long before anyone ever heard of smothering sweet potatoes with marshmallows, opening up a can of pumpkin or squash puree for soup, or inundating apples and pecans with sugar! No. The real Thanksgiving lends itself absolutely perfectly to the type of food we prepare here at Wholly Macro. Simple, basic, and pure. Alive, and fresh. Food with compassion for our bodies and our planet. Food that allows us to transmute that compassion to each other, creating peaceful families, peaceful communities, peaceful countries, and a peaceful planet.

Wholly Macro's Pantry-Partial View

We are actually hunters and gatherers in our own right here at Wholly Macro, just as our ancient ancestors were. We are always hunting down the myriad ingredients we use in our cooking, and new and exciting super foods as well, and gathering as much as possible to keep our pantry fully stocked!! Have you seen our pantry??  

We think that if you take a look at our menu for this week you will be amazed at how well traditional food and healthy food compliment each other, and how well we have blended the two in our 2011 Thanksgiving Menu, if we must say so ourselves!

After all, we will be feasting on this same food too, and our mouths are already watering for it.

Being able to appreciate, and having a hunger for pure basic "peasant" type food, is a sign of good health. Being picky, and not appreciating the beauty of the basic foods in and of themselves, is a sign of overindulgence. If you overeat, yes, you may still feel the desire to eat, out of habit essentially, but you will want "fancy" food, or "something different", because your body is really not hungry, but rather, is stuffed with excess, and not at all appreciative of Mother Natures natural bounty. Whereas, if you are lean, and active, and feeding your body the right amount of the right kind of food, at regular mealtimes, you will gratefully appreciate the taste and beauty of traditionally prepared simple and real foods.

This holiday was made for Wholly Macro!! And we'd love to make it healthy, special, memorable, and tasty for you as well!
