Wow Thanksgiving only 3 weeks away, that means Christmas is just around the

corner. That is a scarier thought than all the Halloween candy around the

house. I will go with 4 pounds, from 192 to 188. Good luck reaching 200,

that was a great goal to reach.

Glad I'm not the only one planning a cheat day...LOL. I think we should

enjoy the holiday and take a little break from counting. But, I'll be

right back to the plan the day after. And, luckily, the leftovers will be

in someone else's refrigerator!

Zoe,

I agree I don't think I can eat that stuff without having carbs and carb

withdrawl later. I am making everything normal for dinner and then adding the

mashed cauliflower for me. That way I will have some potatoes too!! also the

dessert will be the Pumpkin cheese cake that Sue posted a week or so ago.

Everyone should like that and if they don't tough there is plenty of

everything else to eat!! It is just my family, Hubby and 4 kids.

Maybe you can try eating salad first - then 1/3 carbs, 1/3 meat and

1/3 veggies - theoretically that will make the insulin less of a

spike and more normal. I have no idea if it works - I haven't tried

it because I'm such a carb addict I just can't imagine eating those

carbs without cravings later - but if you're going to eat the

thanksgiving dinner anyway, it might be worth a try.

Guess I'm lucky in that we are going to someone else's house - I'm

thinking I may bring some low-carb dessert and/or cranberry stuff for

me - all my kids will be there too, ages 20, 21 and 26! I miss the

leftovers so DH and I will probably cook our own turkey the next day

so we can have lots of leftovers and maybe I'll also make the

cauli-tater stuff etc.

I used to! You know how when you first start having the Holiday Dinner, and each time you make it, through improving, by tasting, getting more experience each time you make it, and you finally have it down pat. Well, not this year!

This Thanksgiving is going to be our first Gluten-Free, Wheat-Free, Dairy-Free Thanksgiving. I'm sure It'll get better in time. LOL

Hey all!

Do you have any traditions that you do for Thanksgiving? If so, what are they?

We always get together with my mom's family. There are 5 kids in her family,

11 grandchildren, 20? great grand kids and 4 great-great grand children

(including older stepchildren who are great grand kids). So there is a huge

house full of people! LOL

We do turkey, ham, stuffing, potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls and a

few salads. Who ever is hosting does the turkey and my grandmother buys a

ham. The rest is usually potluck (well assigned potluck. LOL). Dinner is

buffet style and we all eat until you are going to burst. then wait a couple

of hours before bringing out the pies. :-)

Everyone is great about keeping everything peanut free. Sometimes there will

be something with another nut (the stuffing had pine nuts one year) but Drew

is good about skipping stuff if we need him to.

That sounds almost exactly like my family. We switch years- every

other year we do Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with his

and then the next year switch.

I'm usually the pie and rolls and jello salad bringer!

Oh Jell-O salad, you aren't from Utah are you ;-) heeheehee

So what do you put in that Jell-O salad? My mom does cranberry Jell-O with

ground up cranberries that float on top. It is great if you don't eat the

raw cranberries (so you eat the Jell-O. LOL)

I used to get rolls then I got green bean casserole one year. No clue how I

do it differently than the rest of the family but that is my permanent

assignment and last year I brought the crockpot FULL and came home with

NONE. Instead of being pleased that they are liked I'm annoyed since I like

them reheated the next day ;-)

Okay, got a challenge here. DH and I are driving up to DD's on Wed.

and leaving on Fri, because she's a grad student and finals are 3

weeks after Thanksgiving break is over. Therefore, cooking time is

limited, since I will probably take her to buy groceries AFTER we get

there. In additon, she and I are on P2, and she is also a

vegetarian. DH is neither one.

I'm looking for an acceptable dressing and gravy recipe. I figure I

can get a small turkey breast for DH and me, and we can all do green

beans, deviled eggs, cranberry-orange relish, and baked sweet

potatoes, but the traditional dressing for us is cornbread dressing,

and that's not SBD friendly. I can substitute whole grain bread for

the second bread in the recipe, but what are my options for the

cornbread? And if I only do a turkey breast, I don't have the fixin's

for gravy, and the packaged mixes (besides being not that tasty) are

probably not SBD compatible.

Any Southerners with ideas? (Others are welcome, too; it's just I've

found cornbread dressing to be almost exclusively a Southern dish.)
