Thanksgiving? Are you fixing the same old thing or are you going to try something new this year. What is your strategy for managing all the carbs?

Cheryl,


Can you post the recipe for the pumpkin squares in the recipe folder if you haven't already? I love pumpkin pie but of course I have to decrease the carbs in it. I may not have it this year because my nephew is making curried pumpkin soup which has 15 grams of carbs per serving. If folks are interested I could post that recipe as it is really quite tasty.


Hope you are feeling great and please don't over do it with the cooking, etc.


Cheers,

Mary Frances

Jan,


I was away in the orient one Thanksgiving and I thought I would go and eat out at a restaurant that advertised American Thanksgiving dinner. Well it was $50 per person and I decided that I would have a belated celebration when I got home. It did seem strange to be eating fish and other asian delicacies!


Have a great vacation. Get some extra exercise to cover the additional food you will be eating.

I'm going to prepare marinated vegetable salad (easy...throw canned peas and green beans etc. together) and sweet-sour red cabbage.
