Kool Aid - thanks ...Thanks for all the suggestions!<br />Kool Aid - thanks for stopping by! I've never actually made a green bean casserole, so that might work.<br />Jen - just checked out the recipe, it looks great!! Dried cherries would definitely work. This is in contention!<br />Barb (Mom) - we love the turtle pie, and I make it with less fattening substitutes, but it's all the artificial ingredients this time that I'm trying to stay away from. Plus, I wan to try something new this year. We definitely enjoy the food, wouldn't have it other way, but you know Woody, he's a growing boy and eats a lot! Especially at the Holidays!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100196071084452143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742209008670744276.post-82695732972254602942009-11-19T12:12:01.788-07:002009-11-19T12:12:01.788-07:00You can make cranberry sauce with a bag of cranber...You can make cranberry sauce with a bag of cranberries and splenda or stuvia. It's still good and many less calories. I'll make that. I think just about every recipe can be lightened up and no one realizes it.<br /> Even weight watchers says you can have your favorites, just be aware of portion size , etc. If you can't indulge a bit at Thanksgiving and Christmas , it makes things worse. We tend to eat more and mindlessly if we deny ourselves something we really want. Why not have the turle whatever and ration it out ? You could always take some to your Doormen. They'd love you for it !Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964033791045528748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742209008670744276.post-50085758017795511492009-11-19T07:04:37.506-07:002009-11-19T07:04:37.506-07:00Hey Lisa, I was watching 30 Minute Meals the othe...Hey Lisa, I was watching 30 Minute Meals the other night and Rachael Ray made this:<br /><br />http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/dark-greens-with-cranberries-recipe/index.html<br /><br />I've not tried it but it sounds really good, and I'm sure you could adjust easily to suit your tastes. It might be a double dose of cranberries though (unless you substituted dried cherries!).<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and Woody.

I"m going to try something new this year with those that will be more healthy but I'm not sure what - I'm still researching recipes.<br /><br />Visiting over from SITS!! Have a great morning.Kool Aidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996795376325872637noreply@blogger.com
