Week 1: Planning Your Low-carb Thanksgiving!



Time to plan Thanksgiving at the Low-carb Cooks' Nook!

We have three weeks to figure out what we're going to do for Thanksgiving!

Some low-carbers say, "To heck with low-carbing, this is Thanksgiving,"
but too 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. 11), we will cover desserts.


The 3rd week (Nov. 18), we'll pull it all together with the extras: gravies, cranberry sauces, and the turkey itself.

There will be no chat on Thanksgiving, Nov. 25th.. that's when you get to enjoy the (low-carb) fruits of your labors!
Hope to see you tomorrow night at the first of this Thanksgiving Series!

I think it is very important to include some low-carb options in your Thanksgiving Dinner. If your family is anything like mine, there is enough food to feed an army. And, because it is the holiday, most people don’t mind having seconds or even thirds (and then desert on top of that!). I am always in search of low-carb recipes. I work with Better Recipes.com; if you are looking for the same, I recommend you check out their Low-Carb Thanksgiving Recipes
