Turkey Day Roll Call!!
Good Morning. I have been up and at the cooking since 7:00 a.m. I am heading to my sis-in-law's for the big meal much later. I have been AWOL for about a week or so with some personal issues.
So far I have made a low sugar cranberry apple dish, the traditional green bean casserole, made with low fat milk and soup, and I have some cheesecakes in the oven, made with Splenda sugar blend. I will be making the gravy when I get over there.
I have many things to be grateful for today, and am so glad that I can come here and see that you all are like minded.
Have a blessed holiday. Enjoy the awesome sunshine.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Hello, my wonderful OH Family... Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I feel very accomplished today! I got to the gym this morning for a nice workout (40 mins treadmill, another 15 weights and stretching), and did much of my pre-cooking and prep yesterday. So at this point, I'm able to take a breath. Turkey's done (and in the warming oven), casseroles are in the oven, gravy's on the stovetop, and everything else is done.
Of course, the family's not here yet - told us they would be here at noon. It's now 1:52. Sigh. We had a Skype session scheduled with the florida family for 2 pm, but that's gotta get delayed now, because they had to put one of the kids down for a nap... so the schedule thing is just not working. BUT... I'm not stressing. Deliberately. OH. And my mom is upstairs sulking because I had cubed cheese out for hor d'oevres and she didn't know I was doing it and bought cheese to cube. Hadn't mentioned it until this morning, of course... I can't make this stuff up, folks.
However, I've made a lovely gourmet dinner, all of which (except for one dish) is WLS-friendly AND tasty. Tried some awesome new recipes and new takes on old recipes.
All in all, I feel very fortunate. Annoyed, but fortunate. LOL.
Bright blessings to you all.

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to all my OH Pennsylvania friends! I am spending my day at work. It wasn't busy this morning, but things are picking up. I am thankful for so many things, but especially the friends and support I get here. Working till 5 and then going to my sister-in-law's house for dinner. Rumor has it that the oven got shut off somehow and no one is quite sure when, but it certainly explains why there wasn't much juice. Maybe I will stay at work....
Have a great day everyone...
