I am doing TWO Thanksgiving meals at our house this year - the believers and the non believers. That is said somewhat tongue in cheek. Daughter and her husband are on IP and were the ones who inspired me to join. He has lost 90 pounds, she has lost nearly 70 and they look maarrrveeelous.
So we will have our salad, devilled eggs and fresh turkey (have never cooked one myself as we normally have Honey Baked Ham) and she will bring some gourmet veggie dishes she has learned on IP.
For the rest, I will be making cornbread stuffing, biscuits, country gravy, mashed potatoes, hash brown potatoes (my son and DH do not agree on potatoes) and a wonderful peanut butter and chocolate mousse. That at least I can scale down the recipe to make two individual servings so that I do not have tempting leftovers which might call to me in the middle of the night.
So my challenge is to cook meal #2 for husband and son without losing my 100% but I can tell you know that I am back on the wagon for sure! For those who are thinking 'why is she catering to these guys?', my son is home from college and very homesick for a traditional family Thanksgiving. DH is home from surgery and I am not going to have a discussion about his health until he has recovered.
