What was on your holiday plate?

[shawn116]

So very quiet here    I hope all the FTS family enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday.

We very much enjoyed ours.  Lots of yummy good eats....all FTS approved of course    I love how I can now sit down to eat a meal like this and not feel so miserable after.  

Anyone want to share a list of what they had on their plate along with carb counts for this holiday??  It will go a long way in helping others when they are faced with the holidays in the future.

Fried turkey = 0 net carbs
Ham  = 0 net carbs
Cauli-mash   = 1.5 net carbs
1 Tbs Low carb gravy  =  1 net carbs
Green beans  = 3 net carbs
Sugar Free cranberry jelly  = 1 net carbs
Deviled eggs  = 1 net carbs
Upside Down pumpkin pie   = 2.5 net carbs
Pumpkin roll  = 1.5 net carbs
Sugar Free cheese cake with a few berries and 0 carb whipped topping = 6 net carbs    

Grand total = 17.5 net carbs    I know guys   I probably over did it a bit.  But believe me I wasn't hungry later that day so that was it for the day    What a yummy day  

What was on your plate??

We just got back from the beach with my sisters and all the families!! I had a large portion of turkey (white meat) and a spoonful of green beans (2 carbs)! Then I had a piece of Russell Stover sf candy (1 carb)!! I, of course was hungry later and made a little bit of turkey salad with mayo and a little handful of freshly grated romano cheese (0 carbs)!! Yummy! 

Last year I made lots of low carb things like caulimash, mock sweet potatoes, and sf crustless pumpkin pie, but decided this year that I really didn't NEED all that other stuff and just stuck with the basics! I was happy and not uncomfortable and stuffed feeling! lol Much better choices for me!!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

I made several dishes from the forum, and they were great.

I made Joagain's cornbread stuffing, TooSweet's cranberry sauce, and a wonderful "Sweet Potato" casserole made from pumpkin and cauliflower.  I will admit to tasting some of the mashed potatoes and stuffing that I made for the rest of the family.  And the turkey was to die for.

Overall, a great meal.  Hope everyone else enjoyed as well.  Next.. Christmas dinner.

I had to work on Thanksgiving 7a-7pm  but it was a blessing in disguise because I did not have to be tempted by my families none fts cooking especially that pineapple stuffing !! lol! We did however all bring in food to work and I nominated myself for pepperoni and cheese trey! It was simple and safe so that i knew i would be able to eat something safe I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday !

That is what Thanksgiving is truly about (not the beginning of the shopping frenzy).  Great job Stephanie.  Bless you.
