Emily Deschanel Works Out and Stuff

She told iVillage recently that her workout routine consists of the following: "I work with a trainer right now; I do weights and stuff. I try and do it three times a week."

Good old-fashioned excercise. Now, if only she could learn to quit putting her eyeshadow on upside-down.

Eyeshadow aside, I totally agree with her realistic outlook on diet and fitness.

Emily also told iVilliage in a separate interview

"I say indulge and just don't feel guilty about it. If you indulge and you feel guilty, you'll say, 'Forget it, I've already gone off my diet.' Take a day, really enjoy it and eat what you want. If you allow yourself to do that, you won't go as crazy. One day is not going to kill you."

That's good advice with the traditional Turkey Fest right around the corner. In the spirit of that and the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, here's a sixty year-old recipe from AllRecipes.com:

Pumpkin Pie

INGREDIENTS
1 egg
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Add the sugar gradually to the pumpkin puree. Beat well an stir in the flour, salt and spices. Stir in the corn syrup and beat well. Stir in the slightly beaten egg, then slowly add the evaporated milk, mixing until well blended. Pour the batter into the unbaked pie shell.

Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 10 minutes then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees F) and continue baking pie for an additional 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the mixture comes out clean.

Eh, don't worry about it. Pumpkin's healthy, right?
