I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a wonderful day with family. As I mentioned in a previous blog I am not a huge fan of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. So this year in order to try and keep the calories down I tried some new recipes. First thing I did in the morning was to start my day with a protein shake and my vitamins.  This gave me energy to cook a wonderful meal for my family. We did have the traditional turkey, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole, but I also chose to make some roasted Brussels sprouts. I would have to say these were my favorite part of the whole meal!

For dessert I made Michelle’s Pumpkin Pie. (recipe in previous post) I knew this recipe would not be exactly like a traditional pumpkin pie but I did not expect the texture of the pie filling to be so different. It had more of a soufflé texture. One thing I would do differently next time is to add a little more stevia as the pie was not very sweet. Overall it received the following reaction from the family:  2 thumbs up, 2 thumbs down, and one “I’m not eating that” vote. :)
​
Along with trying to watch my calorie intake I was able to get out and take a nice long walk while the turkey was in the oven. It was a bit chilly but so far we have no snow so it made for an enjoyable walk.
​

I hope everyone had a very healthy and happy Thanksgiving.  Until next week here’s to your health and happiness.
