Happy Thanksgiving! We’re grateful to everyone who is a part of our community, and we wish you a day filled with joy, gratitude and delicious food.

Now for the important question, pumpkin pie 🎃 or pecan pie 🌰? Tell us your favorite in the comments.

Both pies have a place at the table with their own health benefits – pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, fiber, potassium and antioxidants. At the same time, pecans contain vitamin E, magnesium and zinc. Just remember, the key is enjoying each bite of your slice in moderation! 🥧
