Thanksgiving

Ours is a group affair involving my family of four, a friend’s family of four, my parents, my friend’s parents, a neighbor lady, and a single friend. Only my daughter has D.

We’ll be having smoked oysters, cheese and crackers for appetizers, including crackers that are 1 carb each
Brined turkey
Mashed potatoes, but I think I’m going to try the mashed cauliflower, too. I hadn’t thought of that.
Stuffing (she doesn’t like this anyway, so no harm there)
Yam with the marshmallows on top (same as the stuffing; talk about the worst of all worlds)
Cranberry sauce using my Grandmother’s recipe. This does have carbs, but we calculated it last year
Peas
Acorn Squash
Bussels Sprouts with Pecans
rolls (16 carbs each)
pie from Marie Calendar’s. I believe it’s the custard pie that has the fewest carbs.

I’m glad you asked this question, because I think I haven’t thought this through quite enough. Although we all love the traditional foods of T’giving, one thing we never endorse is stuffing yourself silly and trying everything on the table, so I think Clara should be able to make a very nice plate without going overboard.
