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
To add to the HECTIC pace of the holidays, Chanukah comes very early this year: December 2nd through the 10th! There is no chat next week (it's Thanksgiving) so if you need recipes for latkes or related Chanukah foods, ask away tomorrow night!
