What's on your Wednesday Menu, RNYers?

hmmmm re: the pumpkin biscotti, are you adding the white chocolate and dried cranberries to it? That would be great! Is the pumpkin replacing something, or did you just add a little in?

I found some other recipes online for pumpkin biscotti - so if using it using my recipe as a base doesn't work, never fear! I'm going to try making some of these pumpkin biscotti recipes sometime. Biscotti is easy to make and people really like it - and it lasts for quite awhile, too...

Used a different recipe.
I'll put some cinnamon glaze on it.
In the middle of baking them, but will share pics so you can see how they came out.

Hello my RnY kindred! Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

i am going to the home of one of my DIL's sister's partner's mother's house. Say that ten times fast! Busy day today - I am prepping the charcuterie tray (or trays) that I am bringing tomorrow, and baking (a jalapeno cornbread little loaf, and glazed orange-cranberry mini-muffins). I'm just cutting the cheeses and meats up and tightly wrapping them, as the fridge isn't big enough for my trays. Tomorrow early I'll assemble everything. I still have to run out to try to find a few missing items (OJ for the muffin glaze, Membrillo (the awfully hard to find Spanish quince jelly to pair with the manchego cheese), etc.), Also, persimmons if I can find any that are ripe. I should have bought these a week ago to ensure this, but didn't think of it. If I can't find them it's fine, there is an overwhelming amount of food as is, I just like persimmons, their color is so lovely, and there's something magical about seeing them on late fall and winter trees.

I am finding myself so not hungry these days - yesterday my calories were right around 600, yet I felt ultra stuffed. My protein was still high enough. And today I am down another pound, which is good. Tomorrow I will eat turkey, veggies, nuts, and cheese. Maybe a little fruit (a relative rarity for me). Definitely no stuffing, a very small portion of gravy, no potatoes or sweet potatoes, no rolls and no pie! Although I will really enjoy the fragrance of all of the desserts! Nuts and cheeses are definitely my kryptonite, but even so, I will allow myself to have some. I will need to be very discriminating about portions, though, and keep in mind how densely caloric they are. Anyway, I hope Friday's scale won't react, but if it does, I'll go right back to being cheese-and-nut-free, at least until I hit 125 or so again - hopefully sometime in December's first week).

First: I started with 8 cups of tea! Early and late drinking works for me, other than the obvious drawback. But I get so busy during the day that if I didn't drink this way I'd easily end up dehydrated.

B: one hard-boiled egg, one tuna packet, and a small bit of Skinny Girl Buttermilk Ranch salad dressing.

L: Turkey breast. I know it's strange to eat this today, considering tomorrow's feast!

D: I'm honestly not sure yet, but whatever it is will be high protein, low carb, and low cal.

Wishing every one of you, and all of your loved ones, a warm, peaceful, and very Happy Thanksgiving!
