OJ Shihtzumom1, this is the list you posted for a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving dinner; going over the list and reading your comments I think you have it under control. The lemon fluff will be like my strawberry mousse and will be wonderful, check the video out on the cooking show board and simply replace the strawberry jello with the lemon jello. The pumpkin cheesecake Umpa posted is wonderful and will replace the pie....but you can make a great sugar free crustless pumpkin pie if you wish. Pumpkin can also be served to replace the acorn squash and sweet potato! Ever eat pumpkin as a main course side dish?....delicious. Simply boil or bake, mash, add butter...a little xylitol and cinnamon. Baked beans can be replaced easily with the canned black soy beans. The wasabi cole slaw dressing in the book is excellent and very low sugar. If cranberry is important buy frozen berries, drop them into 1 inch of water in a saucepan, cover and cook till soft, mash and continue to cook till thick. remove from stove and sweeten to your taste with xylitol.

Turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberries, dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, cabbage rolls, corn, acorn squash, sweet potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, devilled eggs, veggie tray, pumpkin pie, lemon meringue pie, apple pie...carbs, carbs, and more carbs...OMG I just gained 10 pounds typing these food items. No wonder I put on weight!!!
I already know what to do for the gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes. And I'm sure I could figure out some cabbage rolls made with cauli-rice (I made stuffed peppers with this a few weeks ago). I can live without corn, sweet potatoes and baked beans. I just think I need help with coleslaw dressing and a fall-like dessert, does not have to be traditional pie with crust. Something pumpkiny maybe. I did come across a recipe for Lemon Fluff that was just heavy cream and SF lemon jello, that may take care of my lemon meringue pie needs. Maybe something cinnamony would be a good substitute for apple pie.
