Trussing It All Together, Your Low-carb Thanksgiving


Pulling It All together,

Thanksgiving at the Low-carb Cook's Nook!

OK, Low-carbers, does your holiday planning have you running around like a chicken with its head cut off?

Let's Talk Turkey and pull our menu all together!

The last two weeks, we covered side dishes, desserts, appetizers and our focus this week will be on the "Trimmings," and the turkey itself, plus leftovers and anything you might've missed.


I'm guessing that you already know how to make a turkey but just in case....
if you don't, try Butterball: Home for the Holidays, there is also a How-to video clip of Stuffing and Trussing a Turkey)

This week (Nov. 12th), we will cover desserts, cranberry sauces, and appetizers/relish trays.


The 3rd week (Nov.19th), we'll pull it all together with the extras: gravies, rolls, and the turkey itself...If you missed one chat, come to the next... if you still need a recipe from a chat you missed, just ask! I'm not picky, I'll skip from one part of Thanksgiving to another if ya need it!

Time to Plan Out Your Thanksgiving
at the Low-carb Cooks' Nook

You have three weeks to figure out what you're going to do for Thanksgiving!
Some low-carbers say, "To heck with low-carbing, this is Thanksgiving," but many have found that they go off the wagon for that one day... which stretches into weeks, and it's not till January that they can get back on track and by then,
they've gained ten lbs. !
Isn't there a way to make your traditional Thanksgiving in a low- carb way?
YES, THERE IS!

At this week's chat, we'll start planning our Low-carb Thanksgiving menus and share recipes for side dishes, stuffing, vegetables, and the like.
The 2nd week (Nov. 12), we will cover desserts.

The 3rd week (Nov. 19), we'll pull it all together with the extras: gravies, cranberry sauces, and the turkey itself.

There will be no chat on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26th.. that's when you get to enjoy the (low-carb) fruits of your labors!

Hope to see you at the first of this Thanksgiving Series!
