Hi all! Have you planned on modifying any dishes to cut out extra calories? Instead of green bean casserole, I'm doing steamed green beans tossed in olive oil and slivered almonds. I'm also using yams to mash up instead of white potatoes. Also, there will be a giant garden salad on the side.

    I'm making roasted chicken, sweet potato mash (which I'm making tonight so I just have to throw it in the crock pot tomorrow to reheat) and then we'll have steamed green beans and a nice green salad.

    Ugh,I am going to my boyfriends mothers house for dinner. They always have a huge do,with dozens of potluck dishes.
    I opted to bring asparagus for my dish and am going to bring my own yam and bypass the scalloped potatoes.

    This is also what we are having for desert! I was wanting to smoke a lamb roast but store was OUT so had to get a butt instead.
