Thanksgiving I am already re-planning dinner

  • Ok I know that thanksgiving is a ways a way BUT since I am on this diet I am revamping my menu (not all of it but a good chunk) to comply with IP.

    I so want mashed tatoes (thts wht my son calls them) but what else can I make. I found a website from an IP clinic that has 200 recipes on it so I need to look there too. But any ideas are welcomed
  • i made green bean casserole with the IP mushroom soup and it was delish. I also made pumpkin pudding with the vanilla pudding and pumpkin pie spices.
  • I was just looking this up for another purpose and found 4 relevant already-existing threads

  • I checked out one of the tread's Lisa's referred to and I LOVE the idea of mixing pumpkin pie spice with a vanilla pudding. I think adding a bit of DaVinci's Pumpkin Pie syrup (along with pumpkin pie spice) would even make it better. Topped with WF marshmallow fluff sprinkled with cinnamon/nutmeg. A mock pumpkin pie slice !!! That could be your 4th pack (snack) for dessert after dinner.

    I think I'm going to do just that
  • Wow. That sounds SUPER sweet! It makes my teeth hurt just thinking about adding more sweetener to an already sweetened packet.

    The pumpkin pie spice would be good, tho

    I de-sweetened a few years back (on purpose) and IP has been VERY sweet for me. I'm very selective on what I eat and work hard on figuring out ways to cut the sweet in all the packets, which is why I started adding alts so soon... unflavored syntrax nectar helped cut the sweet.

    Somewhere there was a faux egg nog recipe, too.

    Maybe on the incredible weight loss thread...a bunch of PDFs.
  • I've made faux egg nog with the ready made vanilla drink (its thicker than the powder) a couple drops of rum extract and a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

    Umm..Ditto..Guess I'm fortunate my sweet tooth was never a problem...and now with IP I've found many of the basic products are really already just too sweet unless I dilute them...
