Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I hope that it was very enjoyable for everyone!!!
Today was a pretty good challenge for me. My mother-in-law came into town yesterday for Thanksgiving & this was the first year that I had to cook a Thanksgiving meal. I have a tendency to go way overboard on cooking meals- ham (I'm allergic to turkey), stuffings, green bean casserole, candied yams, pumpkin cheesecake, homemade cranberry sauce.
A lot of times on holidays, we would skip meals thinking that we were saving room for the large feast at dinnertime. But now we know, that's a big no-no!!! So I made sure that we ate throughout the day so that we wouldn't gorge on the dinner.
Breakfast
Breakfast Casserole (eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, cheese)
Mixed Fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, canteloupe, apples)
Coffee
Lunch
2 slices of pizza
Water
Dinner
Ham
Stuffing
Green Bean Casserole
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Cranberry Sauce
Candied Yam
Glass of Shiraz/Water
Dessert
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Hot Tea
I made sure for dinner that I had a single serving. Everything was so delicious that it was so hard not to have more than one serving. I also planned ahead to make sure not to just make plates of the leftovers for the next couple of days. I planned ahead to make additional leftover dishes so that I had plenty of leftovers for the next couple of days so that I don't go to fast food joints, or skip meals.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!
