Honestly....  homemade pecan pie, even if I can only have a bite, it's TOTALLY worth it!!!!

Okay, homemade mashed potatoes, homemade dressing....

See a them here????  

Really - just love doing the cooking and watching everyone enjoy their Thanksgiving!

Also, this year we decided to do something a little different.   We are cutting the calories and fat by not having green bean casserole, baked beans or mac & cheese.

This year my menu looks better:

Turkey
Dressing
Gravy
Cranberries
Homemade mashed potatoes
Steamed Carrots
Broccoli Salad (homemade and devine!)
Garden Salad with homemade/lowfat ranch
Veggie tray
Shrimp tray
Rolls & butter for those that want them

Can I have your broccoli salad recipe?  I have several but always looking for more salad recipes.

My sister makes a wonderful veggie salad with white corn, french cut green beans, peas, purple onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar (can use splenda) and pimentos.  I need to get the recipe from her, it is sooooo good.

You bet, this is a family favorite, easy to make and you can add or subtract ingredients as needed.

I take 2-3 large broccoli florets and very finely take them apart (so you have tiny, bite size pieces of broccoli, no stalk)
about 1 cup golden raisins
Sunflower Seeds (I omit them)
Crispy bacon - to taste more or less
Purple onion, finely chopped
Garlic salt to taste

Dressing:
1 cup mayo (low fat or light is my preference)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons baking splenda

Normally, make this the night before and add the bacon just before eating.  The vinegar dressing softens the broccoli and the whole thing tastes very sweet.

Enjoy!
