Here are a few more recipes I plan to use at Thanksgiving.


1 huge head of cauliflower
8 oz fresh mushrooms, chopped
1/2 to 1 chopped onion
32 oz real sour cream – not the light stuff
10 oz shredded cheddar
1 sm can chopped green chilies, drained
2-3 tsp garlic salt (I use the California variety)
How To Prepare:Break apart and steam the cauliflower for 18 minutes. Chop it into small pieces about the size of diced potatoes. Microwave the onion and mushrooms in a small covered dish for a minute. Combine all the ingredients and place in 9x13 pan. Microwave for 15 minutes. Probably 30 minutes in a 350ยบ oven would do – or until it’s bubbly.
Number of Servings:15
Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known:
7g carb, 1g fiber, 8g protein, 19g fat





Can't seem to be able to post a pic, but it looks very similar to a regular pan of funeral potatoes!

Now for sauces and dessert:
       Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 bag of fresh cranberries (12 oz)
  • Sugar substitute equal to 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1. Put cranberries in a pot on the stove, and pick through to remove soft and/or brown ones.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.

3. Stir frequently. The cranberries will pop, and then release their "gel" -- and the sauce will come together like magic. Cook until the sauce is the consistency you want, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Note: I used a liquid sweetener in this recipe, which added zero carbs. Powdered artificial sweeteners often use sugars as a base. For example, you could use one cup of Da Vinci's Simple Syrup instead of water.

Makes 8 servings of cranberry sauce, each approximately 1/4 cup. Each serving has 3 grams ofeffective carbohydrate and almost 2 grams of fiber.

There are more that I might add later, but I look forward to a feast of food that is delicious and doesn't leave me feeling guilty or sick!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Angela!

You asked about the damask fabric on my blog. I got it from Fabric.com. Can't remember how much it was, but it was exactly what I was looking for, too. :)

Best of luck,
Jenn
