Low Carb During Thanksgiving!
I the spirit
of Thanksgiving we would like to give a few low carb recipes that will
help you through this weight challenging time of the year.
Sausage
Stuffing
Carbs Per Serving: 6g
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
1 Pound Sausage -- Seasoned
2 Large Onions -- Finely Chopped
3 Stalks Celery -- Finely Chopped (3 To 4)
2 Tbs. Butter
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 Head Cabbage – Finely Chopped
15 Ounces Chicken Broth -- Canned
3 Eggs -- Beaten
Seasonings
Instructions:
This has
all the taste of real stuffing, without the bread. You won't miss the
bread and can "stuff" yourself as much as you like.
Sauté
your onion and celery in the butter.
Add sausage, brown, crumbling the sausage finely.
Let the oils and butter brown on the bottom of the pan to get that great
combination flavor.
Add seasonings you like such as thyme, oregano, pepper, salt, to taste.
If your sausage was pre-seasoned you can just add a little black pepper.
Add cabbage and continue cooking.
Add chicken broth to moisten as dish starts to get dry.
Put in a 3-4 qt baking dish and add the eggs.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes.
Cranberry
Relish
Carbs Per Serving: 4g

Ingredients:
1 Cup Dark Rum
1 Tsp. Lemon Rind – Grated
4 Cups Cranberries – Raw Fresh or Frozen

Brand Stevia Blend
¾ Cup Walnuts – Chopped, Pecans or Almonds
Instructions:
Put Steviva
Brand Stevia Blend and rum in saucepan, heat to boiling.
Add cranberries and lemon zest, bring back to boil and immediately lower
heat so the mixture is on a low, rolling boil, just above a simmer.
