Low carb eaters.....

I like cream cheese on my celery. Celery by itself is just crunchy water!

That salad sounds DELISH!!

I am thinking about crock-potting up a pork roast tomorrowmainly because I wanna eat some of my sauerkraut....I just don't want to go into Thursday with a ton of leftovers, you know.

What is on everyone's Turkey day menus?


I got out of desserts (lucky for me because that could be dangerous!)

I am doing turkey, stuffing, mashed pots, mashed sweet pots (for me!) gravy, a veg yet to be decided, a Big ol' salad with pomegranate seeds and goat cheese ....others are bringing rolls & dessert. I need a couple of snacks to put out prolly veggies & dip, fresh fruit (got a load of grapes), a cheese tray and a bowl off mixed in the shell nuts.
I know I am going to eat outside of the norm but it is a holiday...I will be sure to get in as many veggies as I can and go really easy on the stuffing and gravy ......but I am not going to get uptight about it

I'm always the appetizer gal. This year it is spicy sausage balls, deviled eggs and cheese and deli meats tray.

My low carb T-day menu is....

Turkey
Squash and sausage stuffing
Cauliflower mash
Green salad with sprouts I grew myself
Cheese and olive platter
Nuts for munching

Wifey...what do you put on your cheese & olive platter....I am always unsure about mixing flavors!

 

[Wifezilla]

I used whatever cheese is on sale with whatever color and flavor of olives I can find that aren't too expensive. I know...complicated, ain't it? LOL

We like sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, and pepper jack. The smoked gouda is expensive so we don't often have that. I like both black and green olives. Sometimes I get stuff olives too. Garlic stuffed olives are yum.

Ok well that is easy enough.

Have eaten crap cheese all my life (with the occasional brie thrown in for good measure) I am learning to actually just enjoy a bit of good cheese without a hunk of french bread to smear it on or a pile of crackers to crunch it with.

I know there is an art to cheese trays, something soft something hard, something pungent, a little fruit...etc. A little bit like wine, just sounds complicated to me!

I have hit on a few winners recently. Two of my favorite additions are a pile of walnuts with GOOD honey drizzled on them and a hunk of goat cheese with fresh passion fruit spooned on top......that is a winning combo right there!

I love to stuff big black olives with feta. I might have to add olives to my meat and cheese tray!

 

[Wifezilla]

Oh yum!!!

I will throw grapes on the tray if they look good. Other than that I really don't worry about it too much.
