How about Turkey Tamale Pie?
Jan I found this recipe and it sounds pretty close to the taste of my turkey tamales, a lot less work. By the way the tamales and this are not WLS friendly, but it's fun when you make something like this for your family and they really enjoy it.

I agree with not cooking anymore than you have to. I'm gonna bake some zuchinni breads and stuff, maybe make some fudge and a SF pumpkin pie (that's for me and my other half), then I'm done for the year. I've made sure my husband understands after I'm put on a liquid diet I won't be doing any cooking, at least anything that is hard for me to resist. I've already told the grownups that we can't do Christmas this year so we're gonna go to Matt's house for dinner and play with the toys his kids are gonna get from Santa.
Sounds like you're already doing your fair share of cooking, I start baking tomorrow.
Well have a good night, gonna go to bed talk to ya later.
