Spring Holidays

elliott062907

I am not sure of all the holidays or religious holidays coming up in spring, but for me it is easter. Even though, just my belief, I do not celebrate the religious side of easter in the bible aspect, it always brings friends and family together.

What are some of your fav-o-rite dishes and how will you change them now while on a diet or life style eating change?

For me I have a plain turkey no added hormones and a bone in ham, free range....
But I want to make things diff this time.

I want steamed veggies, cole slaw, fresh fruit and from the fit tv recipes, blain's low carb recipes..

I'm not sure how my family will react, do you think I should go on with it and do what's right for ma??

What about you all??

I'm a veggie, so I always want mashed potatoes or yams. I make them with skim milk and no butter. Sometimes I make lasagna - whole wheat noodles, zucchini, and cheese only on top - so it's whatever you want to serve. I think what you're serving is fine. I don't know that coleslaw is that healthy though.

I wonder if I use that green goddess or the cole slaw mix....
any one know anything about it?
I will look on the fit tv site as well for a recipe for cole slaw. Usually I put vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper in it.
But I have heard of people using onion powder, carrots, relish...



hummmmm
