Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Your menu looks amazing, Bev. We Canadians had our T-giving already. I did find a nice sun-dried tomato, avocado, goat cheese, chickpea salad recipe that I'm making for xmas eve supper.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Bev, your meal sounds amazing! Locarber16 sorry for your loss and congrats on staying strong through weak times!

After a few weeks of no discipline, I amped it way up and yet my body is resisting. I probably totally confused it. I ate very low carb the past few days but still allowed myself some wine. I have been doing that more and often, even made a low carb coffee/rum dealie that is VERY high cal, so I need to not just watch the carbs, but dial it back in the calorie/alcohol departments too I guess...

Like GR I am Canadian so Thanksgiving was last month

Locarber my heart goes out to you and the same time I am in awe of you. You're a very strong and special person.

Charms congrats on making up all those temptations and not indulging. I don't think I could do that and I know I wouldnt want to.

Bev! What ingenuity!!! I'd love to hear how everything was. I bet it was fabby!!

My Christmas party tomorrow night!
Billiards Club and the menu is Prime Rib. I'm sure I can work with this

Have fun at your party!!! Is it a dress up occasion???
Prime rib is yummy & I could easily work with that!!!

Thanksgiving dinner was a huge success with the wife of my diabetic friend asking me for copies of all the recipes. Neither she nor her husband could believe that a diabetic could enjoy food like that without having to dose for double/triple carbs. The low carb dressing was the biggest hit. Faux sweet potatoes, not so much. I doubt I will bother fixing that recipe again. I think next time I'll try a combination of butternut squash and pumpkin. Both are lower carb than sweet potatoes. Or, maybe just go with garlic mashed cauliflower. But I do like the visual impact of bright orange sweet potatoes. Ah well. Lime cheesecake pie was good but would have been better with twice as much lime juice to notch up the flavor some. And, maybe a bit more gelatin and 25% less cream cheese so it was a bit lighter. The pecan crust was PERFECT tho. And, even my Dad who normally will not touch Brussels sprouts got a 2nd helping of them. Hard to resist when fried with bacon, onion and garlic.

And, best of all, despite indulging in two glasses of sherry (my wine of choice which is why I normally don't drink any alcohol) I'm down a pound TODAY!!! Probably because we finished eating about 2PM and I was so stuffed I didn't want another bite before before bedtime so my body had an extra 5 hours or so to digest it all before I weighed in this morning. Whatever, I'll take it.
