My kids helped cook with the sides. I cooked turkey & ham, and two other sides. Exhausted afterward but kept on pushing.. I was done by Saturday, couldn't do anything. I enjoyed myself.

I visited my family in IN. I had forgotten how much the holiday focused on eating. I gained 6 lbs before Thanksgiving got there!lol Of course I am paying for it with my IBS...I am happy to be back home and getting back to my own routine and habits. I ate every dessert imaginable and lots of noodles and mashed potatoes....yummy

I made Turkey,green bean casserole,mashed red potatoes,sweet potatoes casserole,and stuffing with meat and broth from the neck bone and I also made homemade gravy with the left over broth my daughter made her homemade mac and cheese.Brown n serve rolls and cranberry sauce.Pecan and pumpkin pies.Yes I ate it and I paid for it...but it was worth the itcky feeling.It's great to get complements once a year.Well twice, on Christmas dinner.I am mainly fruits, veggies,yogart normally.I will eat eggs though.Not much for meat.

We host and throw a huge traditional family feast. My mom and I do most of the cooking. This year was rough on me but we made it. I overdid it and threw up mid-morning because I was doing too much so I learned a lesson but I ate everything.

I made it so easy,,,bought a cooked ham,,,and a family frozen macaroni and cheese and made a salad, biscuits..and of course 2 pies and ice cream...it was soooo easy...thank God .LOL..!!
