@hopeful33250 Great topic, I plan to go back and read that link when I have a bit more time.
Yep, I will succumb to many of the yummy things but since I am bringing dessert for Thanksgiving I will probably make something that's not too tempting for me! I will bring an appetizer too and plan to do crudites and dip. I make a fairly healthy dip that has white beans in it and yogurt (all pureed in the food processor) so having some does not leave me too guilt-ridden. Since I have sporadic lactose intolerance I won't eat much cheese either.
Since the stuffing honestly cannot compare with my own (I know that sounds boastful but mine is really great, says everyone) I am not too tempted by that either. Only my son knows my "secret ingredient".

@contentandwell I also intend to enjoy Thanksgiving in moderation, and I am going to have a piece of pumpkin pie. I get tired of not being able to eat things I like because of my diabetes. There are foods that I love that I haven't had in over three years, like pizza. Tailgating without pizza is ridiculous. I have eaten bland, cardboard tasting food for three years. I feel that I've tried it all, except medicines, and I avoid those like the plague. My endo retired, but he always said if you fall off the wagon go on and have what you are craving and then hop back on the wagon----it won't have done that much extreme damage. So I follow his okay when I really can't stop myself. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, so surely a piece of pumpkin pie can't be that big a deal. My husband and I are going to enjoy spending the day together. and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.

You've got a great plan, @contentandwell. I know what you mean about stuffing if it is not your recipe!
