My healthy, low carb Thanksgiving plate: Turkey, broccoli casserole, cauliflower mash with chives and garlic and stuffing with sage and chives.

Last night the hubby and I celebrated our Thanksgiving. And in honoring the Thanksgiving Pledge I took a photo of my plate and didn’t have any seconds. Not that I had time anyway. I still had to bake 2 pies for the real Thanksgiving dinner we’re having at our friends home.

So far so good. While the stuffing was low-fat, both the broccoli casserole and the cauliflower mash were low carb. Everything was filling and thankfully I ended up only going with half servings of each side dish.

The real test comes today. But my strategy is the same — load up on turkey and small portions of everything else.
