I am going to do my usual but just enough for dinner no or very little left overs. I will also take small portions....we never did much pies so I am good........line dancer

A traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Just use smaller portions. One bigger meal is not going to hurt you. A day or two before go to Protein shakes to go in lighter. Turkey, steamed veggies, mashe potatoes, smaller portion of gravy. Have some yogurt, fruit and a relish tray, with some low fat cheeses on your table.

Best wishes

Sweet potatoes are a great dish because they're loaded in nutrients.

I'm making Green Bean casserole but I'm using the low fat cream Soup and skim milk in it.

The rest I'll just have in moderation.

We're bring Thanksgiving to my Dad's house, so it'll be just the three of us.

*Roast a small turkey at home. Cut it up and divide dark and white meat. White for me.

*Oven roasted Butternut Squash.

*Stuffing (which I don't eat).

*Cranberry sauce (just a teeny bit for me).

*Gravy (for the boys)

I wanted to make my famous Key Lime Pie, or make some other fascinating dessert (to show off) but I need it to be something I can eat, so it'll be fresh fruit diced real small, and some sort of topping/mix in...I was thinking honey greek yogurt, or light Cool Whip. You got any ideas? I don't need the extra's, just want to make it more interesting for the boys.

All of this I can take home for leftovers, or freezing. I don't know what I'll be drinking, as in the past I always drank cranberry juice.

Oddly, I am very comfortable with the dinner/day...I don't have a big family to cook for, or children to please. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving!
