Today's holiday cooking.n everyone able to ear it all. While I can't have none of it cause I was just sleeves 11/17

Me too. Had to cook: collard greens, ham steaks, Mac and cheese with rotel, and yams.

Got to have the pot liquor from the greens with hot sauce. Still so good! And had a tiny bite of ham, chewed thoroughly. Later on will have chicken broth with chipotle and tamarind (lots of hot sauce. Kinda like a hot and sour Soup without eggs...

Focus on family and friends instead of food. Think about what changes you will experience before your next Thanksgiving. Good luck!

My brother is freezing some of his great brined turkey to have in turkey salad in 2 weeks. The food doesn't bother me today at all!

I know...some people have asked me why in the world I did this right before the holidays. But, I just think of all that weight I would be GAINING over the holidays like I usually do and it makes me feel a little better. At least we won't have that to worry about later.
