Thanksgiving

[Alex Cruz]

Hi Umpa,

So I was thinking that since Thanksgiving is around the corner, you may be willing to give us replacement ideas for those delicious traditional dishes.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and every year I cook with such pleasure and my family eats with such pleasure. I want them to enjoy again thsi year but in a tasteful and super healthy way..

Are you gamed for that?

Dixie dinner low carb corn muffin mix for stuffing. Turnip or cauli mash turkey, umpas frozen peanut butter pie, green beans. Am I missing anything? Ive been planning this menu for several weeks now!

I make an awesome corn casserole that my hubby must have every year.. its the only time of the yr that I cook it.. I will send it to you for the conversion process.. 

[beebs]

well you cant convert corn........

Yes you forgot something Beebs.......the TURKEY!  Umpa and I have "thanksgiving" 6-8 times per year, as a matter of fact....just had one. I smoked a big Turkey breast and we had green beans, cauli mashed tators, buttery summer squash with a bit of cinnamon and peanut butter ice cream for dessert. Over time we've simply rid ourselves of stuffing replacements....not necessary for a good meal.

Im a stuffing Nazi. It's practically the only thing I eat on Thanksgiving lol.

[Alex Cruz]

lol @ Beebs.. Yeah, I kind of figure that, but I was hoping that Umpa had suggestions that may be just as yummy so I can introduce it in our T-giving dinner..

[umpa]

i will help you any way i can Aly! Just post your recipes on ask umpa where everyone can see and learn at the same time.I will convert them to Fat to Skinny friendly. Thanksgiving and Xmas are my favorite baking holidays!

[beebs]

My mum hates it cause I want to bake and she doesnt lol!

C'Mon guys! what is this obsession with bread and stuffing? As Joe Pesci would say " Foget about it" in that great Italian wise guy accent. I assure you if you build your Thanksgiving dinner low sugar low carb and skip the stuffing you won't miss it.

[Alex Cruz]

I love stuffing but I have made my mind up that I wont be making any unless its Umpa's way..    I was actually discussing our Thanksgiving menu with hubby and he is looking for it..

[beebs]

I must have stuffing! Thanksgiving/Life requirement! 

[owensmath]

How about green bean casserole?

[umpa]

Yum owensmath!Aly submit your stuffing recipe and i will replace it.But doug is right about carbs in bread.You will have to measure it.How you spend your 20 carbs a day is up to you.

[beebs]

Hmm how could you FTS green bean casserole.... the muhroom soup and french fried onions arent carb friendly.
