Personal chef Jane Coxwell told HuffPost Live's Nancy Redd that it's alright to give yourself a break to enjoy great food (with even better company!) during the Thanksgiving holiday.

"There are times for cutting back, but do that in January, I think," Coxwell said. "I certainly try not to limit myself from a happy, happy time."
