Welcome NewMaddy
I can vouch for what Eno said; to even include the one or two CM meals
can really help even if its not perfect, on plan.
Even 50% on plan helps to improve quality of life i discovered.

Best wishes with your Thanksgiving celebrations Eno.
That is some feat cooking for up to 14 people.
Your menu sounds really nice too; everyone will feel so much better with
less 'carbage'... That's a good description for it.
Would love to be a fly on the wall to see how everything is orchestrated.

Made garlic lemon Parmesan zucchini strips in the oven. A recipe i seen on Pinterest.
I liked it and will make it again.
