The Biggest Loser season 12 is hosting a Thanksgiving extravaganza on November 23, 2011: The Biggest Loser, Where Are They Now Special. The show, filmed before a live audience, catches up with past season fan favorites, shows never-before-seen bloopers, and, since there's a healthy Thanksgiving at hand, cooking pro Aida Mollenkamp prepares a healthy Thanksgiving feast (See some of these scrumptous, healthy recipes below).

Bay Area residents take a special pride in Mollenkamp, remembering when she was Food Editor for San Francisco-based CHOW.com, a web site created for food and drink enthusiasts. It was from CHOW that Food Network came across her and from there Ask Aida was born.
Catching up with past Biggest Loser contestants
The Biggest Loser staff promises some suprises in this show - one person shares a big announcement - but for fans, it's more like a family get together with visitors including: Abby Rike (season eight), Tara Costa (season seven), O’Neal Hampton (season nine), Ali Vincent (season five winner), season eight champ Danny Cahill, and season 11 winner Olivia Ward. Others appear via video: Hannah Curlee (season 11) and Jesse Atkins (season 10), and Sione Fa and Jerry Jerry and Estella Hayes (season7).

This is so superior to that stuff you buy in the can you will never go back. It's easy, quick, has only 80 calories a serving, and looks so yummy you'll want to make extra to eat as a topping to your leftover turkey sandwiches.
This is Aida's alternative to candied yams, and looks scrumptous with cinnamon, nutmeg and an orange, but is America really ready to sacrifice their calorie and sugar laden candied yams? That one is up for debate. She the recipe yourself and share your thoughts.
