Any special lapband dishes?

Nope, last turkey day I just took about a teaspoon of everything on the menu and sampled everything.

I guess that is what I will do this year.

But avoid the dry white meat turkey... ugh.

I'm getting very excited about Thanksgiving. I might not be able to eat much but it'll be the first time in a long while that the family has all been together.

I'm bringing the vegetables this year, very excited about cooking something new for dinner. This is what I'm making -

Green Beans with Bacon and Mushrooms

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts ( It has fresh roasted chestnuts, parmesan cheese and lemon in it. It's also supposed to have bacon but I'm already using bacon in the green beans.)

Cauliflower with Brown Butter, Pears, Sage and Hazelnuts

Brussel Sprouts with some kind of nut is really tasty. A few years ago my grandma brought some with almonds and they were delicious...I think she also cooked them in a deluted chicken broth...anyway, not sure of the recipe, but it was tasty. I bet yours will be great too.

FF- Thanks for the heads up.

Oh Ezma, I'm drooling just reading of them....veggies, mushrooms, nuts, and bacon - forget the turkey, just go for the veg!:drool:

Nothing special or out of the ordinary for us. We are staying home and the kids & DH all pick their favorite side dish to go with the turkey. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, and chocolate cake for dessert.

I had to get half of my fill taken out, so I'm gonna eat a normal thanksgiving meal. not too much, but not too little. Turkey, taters, bean casserole, ect..
