Might try califlower (sp?) smashed up to replace potatos... heard blended well it works. Oh and crustless sweet potatos/pumpkin pie. That's at my house...<BR/><BR/>I can't control what my bf's mother serves...Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679080153484616582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-65564583000277139502008-11-19T09:22:00.000-08:002008-11-19T09:22:00.000-08:00Sadly my oven is no0t working properly, so I will ...Sadly my oven is no0t working properly, so I will have to buy a ready made treat. Turkey is not a problem in a crock pot, but pies can be a trick. So I will just buy a small one with a real crust , enjoy it for that day and then burn off the calories on Black Friday, wandering around the woods and deserted grocery stores ( it is the best day of the year to go grocery shopping !)<BR/><BR/>Doing this as a family has been a great adventure. We have all learned a lot about ourselves in the process , and I think it has made us a little bit closer through sharing a definite goal that we can all archive.We watch The Biggest Loser ( and all wanted to throw things at the screen last night) and pick up some inspiration from them. Each week we all weigh in on Saturday Morning, and the biggest loser of the week gets to pick a board game for us to play. I look at the challenges they have on the show each week and i toy with the idea of adding something like that to our lives. On Fridays my son reminds me that it is our last chance work out, so we need to push harder .Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694756762570280051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886550030061459124.post-47546894235318431192008-11-19T09:01:00.000-08:002008-11-19T09:01:00.000-08:00Thank you for your ecouragement. :) I agree about ...Thank you for your ecouragement. :) I agree about having a few celebrations a year. An turkey day should be one of them. Pumpkin pie is an excelent choice, I made yesterday as a test run a pumpkin/cheesecake type pie with the neufatl cheese and used reduced fat graham cracker crust. It tasted great, so I'm not going to feel deprived on Turkey Day :) <BR/>I also wanted to say it is so inspirational to see a family getting healthy in real life, and not the drama on the Biggest Loser. I wish you and yours all the best!LessFleshMoreFunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805338102208589078noreply@blogger.com
