Walt,
I was wondering what you ate for Thanksgiving -- whether you stayed with a PWF meal, or whether you went off-the-wagon with the traditional temptations like so many of us?

Thanks, J.
Glad you asked that question! We had an organic egg omelet with fresh chopped and sauteed vegies and Amish cheddar cheese; mashed, whole, small red potatoes (unpeeled of course) with parsley, sage, garlic powder, mineral salt to taste and real butter; 100% whole grain bread (12 grain); fresh cranberries (12 oz), crushed pineapple (20 oz), one apple (unpeeled), one orange, (all Cuisannarted separately) with chopped pecans optional--refrigerated, once combined, overnight; a wonderful fresh broccoli salad with mayonnaise, Amish cheddar cheese (shredded), scallions, bacon--cooked crisp and crumbled, yellow mustard, real vinegar and artificial sweetener (Yuk, my wife insisted!); corn on the cob AND I had to buy a deep dish cherry pie for my son who cannot have Thanksgiving without a cherry pie.
The cranberry salad--which was absolutely wonderful--came from Beth Loiselle's book.
We were stuffed and very satisfied. Comments?
Walt

Thanks Walt,
I think that's absolutely wonderful! You ate very well and your meal didn't lack for taste or interest in the least. One of my favorite meals, that I eat in the evening, a couple of times a month is scrambled eggs with white cheddar, fennel, basil, parsely, garlic & onion, and salt. It's simple but so tasty and satisfying.
Your fruit salad does sound very good and I'm going to make it over the holiday season. I imagine their own juice [fruit itself] was an excellent substitute for a syrup. It reminds me a little of Japanese cooking. They keep the recipes simple, and find just the right seasoning to bring out the natural flavor of the food, as opposed to camouflaging it.
As for the cherry pie, you couldn't disappoint your son, that would be sacriligious. Plus, didn't George Washington cut down a cherry tree? Isn't there some historical significance then?
I'm really glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!!!

No turkey? Did you have a cocktail or glass of wine?

if it's because of small number of guests, my mother used to have the butcher cut her turkey in half, through the breast bone, so she could cook only half a turkey, after we kids had moved out.

Hi, Ellen.
NO turkey and just chilled Perrier water with a slice of lemon.

Thanks, Amy.
I have had turkey for every Thanksgiving (organic once I found out that an organic turkey took about 2/3 the time to roast as a "butterball" about 20 years ago), until few years ago. Since then our turkeyless Thanksgiving has been much more satisfying and refreshing than what we had done all these years before.
As my dad always used to say: "Ve get too soon oldt and too late smardt."

Your thanksgiving sounded great Dr. Stoll. Here is a recipe for a guilt free pie:
Crush either corn flakes or brown rice flakes. Mix with any form of shortening(ghee) into a nice crumbly mix. Use that as a base. For the filling I use sugar-free cherries(canned)!

Thanks, Zarin.
I will have to give that a try since this is my favorite and I have given it up for the past 25+ years.

He's right! I like this one, my grandmother used to say when my son was little and running around the house, "Youth is wasted on the young!" I can't wait to make your recipe!! I'll let you know. Also do you know anything about Kosher turkeys, are they range fed?
Thanks!!
Amy

larabars and clif nectar bars have raw food, non-gmo, kosher,non-gluten, vegan snack bars that are date -based. I think cherry pie is one of the Larabar flavors. Larabars apple pie flavor is very good and clif nectar bars has a cinnamon-pecan bar that tastes like Thanksgiving dessert.The cinnamon is good for your blood sugar and handy take-along bars encourage people to go for hikes and not be tied to the kitchen.

Thanks, Amy.
I know nothing about what makes something Kosher but I doubt it has anything to do with being range fed. Perhaps some of our Jewish participants could help.

I just have 4 varieties on hand- for other flavors, google them- drugstore.com has a good price and offers free shipping on a $25 order of any of their stuff .
Larabar cherry pie: dates,almonds,unsweetened cherries
Larabar chocolate coconut chew: dates, almonds, walnuts, unsweetened coconut, unsweetened cocoa powder
larabars say on them:uncooked, unprocessed, no added sugar, non-gmo, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, vegan, kosher
Clif nectar bar dark chocolate and walnut: organic dates, organic walnuts,organic unsweetened chocolate, organic cocoa, organic vanilla
Clif cinnamon pecan bar:organic dates, organic roasted pecans, organic cinnamon, organic vanilla
they are all 24-26 g of carb. The larabars have 5 g protein, the clif bars only 2-3 g of protein
Larabars 12-13 g of fat, clif 6-9 g of fat, but, of course, it's nut oil, so healthy fat.
