Holiday Eating

Holiday foods are always either a joy or a nightmare.  Since learning to properly combine foods the holidays have been easier than ever.  Thanksgiving is always turkey and cornbread dressing and cranberry sauce...this year I did not eat the dressing.  When our  second daughter wanted to bring the meal she included our food choices which was so sweet, and I just made a salad and the cranberries.  We had almost no digestive problems until she brought out the cheesecake and pumpkin pie, which her 13 yr.old daughter had made.  Delicious and we had waited long enough since eating that we had no difficulty.
 
Adding veggies to a meal can make life a lot easier because if I eat more veggies I eat less of the stuff that causes me problems.  Not eating bread with a meal is my husbands hardest meal choice.  He wants bread with every meal.  We are just changing our food traditions a little.  The best part of Thanksgiving besides being thankful (which I am every day), is turkey sandwiches on the day after the day.  Well, it is hard to do unless we use Boca burgers or Gardenburgers, just not the same.
   
  Every day I become more accepting of  eating properly..no protein with starch.  When we have pancakes we may have potatoes but no bacaon, which my husband questions every time, sometimes I add veggies to the potatoes.  When I serve baked potato, either white or sweet, I serve a salad and a vegetable.  Rice I serve with veggies, beans I serve with rice and then sometimes I just do bacon and eggs with a few veggies. 
Attempting to give up dairy is another story for another day.  Our oldest daughter recently gave up dairy & she is so excited.  She feels soooo much better and she has lost weight, and she looks wonderful.

Until next time..watch those food combinations and feel better.+
