Most of the recipes are good enough to be dishes to pass.....If you take a rice and bean casserole, like the Spanish Rice Bake just posted, take a lot....it can be your main part of the meal. I am not good at posting links and don't know if we are supposed to, but go to zona.com and find her recipe for bean and rice casserole......it is something like "In a jack in the box" she has this werid thing about baking this casserole in a pumpkin....but I made it today without the pumpkin nonsense, and it is to die for.....be sure to put in the frozen corn, cuz each time you get a kernel, it tastes sweet........I added some hominy corn, too, and that is another distinct flavor.....I plan to take it with me for lunch, cuz it is even good cold........if you pound down a cup or even more, cuz there are so many veggies in it, you will be FULL. Take a cut up fruit salad, and you are on program.......if you have one little "treat".....a hot dog, or whatever....it won't kill your whole program.....what I would have to do is not touch the beer!

) to indulge in lots of things not on the program, but most people will be supportive of your will power. After all, the most important part of any celebration is the company, right? 
Good Luck!!
