Thanksgiving Dinner

[Guest guest]

So, I thought I would share with you all what I cooked for Thanksgiving.

Roast

3.5 pound roast

2 white onions chopped

2 lbs. of carrots peeled and chopped

4 ribs celery chopped

5 cloves garlic

Salt/Pepper

Olive Oil

1/2 cup water

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Rub olive oil all over the roast and coat liberally with salt and pepper. Brown

all sides in the cast iron skillet.

Lay a bed of the veggies on the bottom of a crock pot. Place the roast on top.

When you take the roast out of the skillet, deglaze with the 1/2 cup water.

Arrange remaining veggies around the roast.

Pour skillet water.

I cooked mine in a crock pot on low for at least 8 hours.

Butternut Squash Casserole

6 cups cooked mashed butternut squash

6 eggs

2 TSP Cinnamon

1.5 TSP Nutmeg

1 TBS Vanilla

2 4oz. cans of pineapple chunks drained and chopped fine

About 1/2 Cup Honey

Topping

1 12 oz bag of pecans chopped pretty fine

About 1/2 Cup Honey

1 TBS Vanilla

1/2 Cup Coconut Flour

Once the butternut squash is cool (about room temp), mix all the ingredients but

the eggs together. Taste and adjust the honey if needed. Stir in the pre-beaten

eggs and put in a baking dish and cook for about 30 minutes on 350 or until the

top just starts to turn burn.

Mix the ingredients for the topping together.

Evenly distribute topping over the squash and bake again until the topping is

bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Braised Brussel Sprouts with Thyme

Cranberry sauce

1 12 oz bag cranberries

1/2 cup honey (or more to taste)

1 TSP orange zest

1/2 cup water

Bring water and honey to a boil. Add cranberries. Lower heat to a simmer and

cook about 10 - 15 minutes. Add the orange zest. Using a spatula, pop the

cranberries against the side of the pot. Refrigerate.

Apple Pie

I used almond instead of peanut butter. Not as good but not as bad on my tummy.

We'll see if it's a hit with the non-scders tomorrow. The broccoli-cauliflower

gratin was a hit at work.

Hi Misty,

Thank you so........much for these recipes!

I immediately made the Butternut Squash Casserole.

I thought I could eat the stuffing I made, but then saw that chestnut

flour wasn't legal, so probably not chestnuts either.....oh well!

I did make some orange cranberry sauce with honey and a touch of

saccarin and pecans.

My string beans and almonds should be fine.

I made everyone else make the potatoes and sweet potato things.
