So a good question for you would be, what do you eat when you do not have time to cook? I think that many of us are often too busy too cook. Its always interesting to know how others handle days (or weeks) like that.
Our fallbacks: fritatta quesadillas burritos grilled cheeze w/soup So what is everyone having for Thanksgiving? We will be going to my parents the day before and probably do steak/shrimp for ourselves on the actual day. I did ask honey to make her yummy stuffing though-- she uses turkey green chili sausage, water chestnuts, herbed bread, onions, celery, and stock-- and I'm sure other there is more-- I'm hungry. |

Love this thread!!
Especially now. Since April of 2011, i have been working on a healthier relationship with food.. It's been a lot of ups and downs, with recovery and the challenges of working on a healthier lifestyle. Mtn and i love to cook together, create new, healthy meal ideas and have dinner dates as often as possible. Eating disorder, food addiction, stress eating, emotional eating, i have been in a very unhealthy place with food over the years. With my weight loss this last year and a half, i have been rediscovering my love of cooking, trying new foods since my tastes have changed tremendously. It feels amazing to be able to look at food the way i do now, and to be comfortable in the kitchen again.. Look forward to participating in this thread and getting as many ideas as We share ideas too!!

Welcome to the thread  I believe that so many of will be able to relate to being in an unhealthy place with food at some point in our lives. That is one of the things that I love about this community, we can post that we need support or help with this or that tough issue and several people will be right there to respond. You will find lots of positive energy in this thread and we have many delicious ideas and cooking styles being discussed here. Such a nice group of talented cooks! One of the things that I always tell friends who ask me about developing a healthier relationship with food is, try to get a good start to your morning like steel cut oatmeal, make sure you are well hydrated, have fresh fruit if you can..blood sugar issues, get those lean carbs in there. When we eat well, we FEEL so good. Looking forward to reading your posts!

Good Morning
Delicious People! Happy Sunday to you all So what is everyone up to today? Are you cooking? Eating? Watching someone else cook? Shopping? Staying at home and doing nothing? Finding green chilis to send to me? Going out for a fish taco? Oh wait, that would be me, if I ever get there. Whatever is on your agenda or lack of, today, I hope that this day is a beautiful one for you and that you experience something delicious.

No cook here.
Last time I attempted cooking the Pillsbury rolls (the kind you roll up) I rolled them up backwards....oh please.
 However eating fine food is something I look forward to, French cuisine with its dainty, rich portions! mmmm. Thank goodness Golden Corral will be open on Turkey Day, I have to go to St. Louis to work. I sure appreciate the chemistry of cooking, and the folks who magically make it happen!

Pillsbury rolls..lol..that is cute. You just reminded me that Pillsbury has a cook off every year. A recipe contest. I would love to see some of the great cooks in this thread entering contests and posting about that process. What fun. Classical French food is always interesting to me as well. The French gave us a roadmap for organized kitchen production so I am grateful for that. Golden Corral..oh wow I have not thought about that place in a long time but have fond memories of driving cross country years ago, being beyond hungry...like delirious..needed to stop for food. I was driving across Texas and not much was nearby. I recall looking through a AAA guidebook and finding a Golden Corral in Midland Tx and driving way off the road to go find it. I was so hungry and my memory is that the food was so good. Thinking that I was driving for way too long that day and needed to stop and eat hours earlier. It was a great find. I also appreciate the folks that make good food happen. It is a labor of love for many.

Planning my contributions to Thanksgiving at my youngest daughter's house. She is having 10 for dinner. Her boyfriend, his ex-wife, their 17-year-old lesbian daughter and her girl-friend and other friends.
This year, we will have turkey with all the trimmings. Last year, in Georgia, at my oldest daughter's house, we had ham. None of her kids or husband like turkey. It felt more like Easter than Thanksgiving for me, I will bring fresh yams with a brown sugar and OJ glaze and topped with marshmellos. "Mom, pleaase bring your yams". So, I always do. I am also going to make a pumpkin pie with no crust and two parts of egg white to one part of egg yolk. It is basically a pumpkin custard that tastes like pie without all the fat and calories. Any other specialties that everyone always makes for Thanksgiving?

Wow yams and pumpkin, two of my year round favorites. I love your pumpkin pie/custard idea. That would be right up my alley. I might have to sugar coat the top and torch it if I made that, just for fun, and I like any excuse to break out the blow torch. Specialties for Thanksgiving, for me are usually sauce oriented. I like to make a gravy, but my favorite is a very simple fresh cranberry orange sauce. Everyone in my family seems to prefer the canned cranberry sauce so not sure what that says about my sauce lol. I also like to make a Port Wine Cranberry sauce. But really my favorite part of the holiday is having what other people consider their specialties. It is nice if I have a break from cooking and I love sampling the creative dishes of others.

There is a Hello Kitty game? I did not now this? See all of the things that I am missing out on by not having small children of my own? *sigh* A Hello Kitty game..that has to be insanely cute. Last year I was at Epcot Center in Disney World and photographed a huge Hello Kitty in Japan. She was so cute. People looked at me as if I had lost it but who cares. Cute is cute. I am big on cute. Bring the cute. lol

Well since my gram and mom are no longer here on this earth, and I've always enjoyed the holidays and traditions we had as a family when I was a young one I would have to choose a Thanksgiving and a Christmas please with my family like it used to be. I wish ! Another I always think about is my current love and some places we met and based our friendship and then dates on. And that is just hanging out at Starbucks having coffee and talking and laughing. A couple other places near and dear to us are Buffalo Wild Wings sharing Chicken Nachos while watching my beloved Broncos  She had so much fun with all the loud, rowdy sports fans while wearing my tshirt. heh. We laughed and laughed and talked about football! Some of our first dates were also enjoying Panera Bread. So I would say picking some of that up and enjoying it at at this lake park sitting together after a stroll. With her, it can be anything! A piece of pie? while chilling' on the couch together.

Tacos !!!!
We all love tacos!
Geez there is so many ways to make them and have them! Mash Potato tacos Sun? Never heard of them. Doesn't sound appealing to me but then again, I will try it ! .. and I'll probably end up liking them cause I do like some fried potatoes in flour tortillas. Anyone ever have Tacos with spaghetti in them ? or how about Tacos with ketchup as a condiment instead of salsa? I'm not a fan but have known people that like this stuff. Like I said, you can have tacos anywhichway! |
