Comment by Erin P. on October 8, 2010 at 9:08pm: So, last year this group really helped me! I made it through Thanksgiving like a rock star! BUT, I CRASHED AND BURNED the next day. It was my son's 2nd birthday party with my whole family. Two days in a row of extreme food action KILLED me! So, this time, I have to work on getting through the entire long weekend b/c his party is the Saturday after and his actual birthday is on the Sunday after. That's three days out of the four day weekend I have to be a rock star this year. I wish I could say I'm feeling it right now...but instead it just has me scared. Must build up the confidence!!!!! People who visualize winning do much better at actually winning.

Comment by Lynette S on October 8, 2010 at 10:21pm: Erin, just another way that you and I are mysteriously alike (separated at birth!) my kid's birthday is over the Thanksgiving Day holiday too! Nov. 27th... Ah, my sister-friend!

Comment by Erin P. on October 9, 2010 at 9:25am: That's too funny!!! Good luck to us both then getting through the insanity!!

Comment by Paula on October 14, 2010 at 1:45pm: Thanks for inviting me as this time of the year is the toughest. I love to cook and I make all kinds of good baked stuff like Pumpking Bars with cream cheese frosting & a cranberry/walnut bread that is great. I am always interested in pumpkin recipes as it is one of my favorite things.

Comment by Heather on October 14, 2010 at 4:01pm: Paula so glad you are here! I am think that will be the next discussion we should have...pumpkin recipes!

Comment by Paula on October 16, 2010 at 2:07pm: I have a great pumpkin bar recipe. It will feed a mob! It is my seasonal treat that I am going to allow myself to have tis year.

Comment by Heather on October 17, 2010 at 4:40pm: Paula I want to know the Pumpkin bar recipe. Maybe I can take it to Florida.

Comment by Jessica on October 17, 2010 at 5:17pm: PUMPKIN BARS! PUMPKIN BARS! (she said mob!)
My Mom makes Crustless Pumpkin Pie. (wheat allergy) No more lonely crust leavings! Just dump your favorite pie filling in a 9in Pyrex pie plate and bake! (no soggy bottom either!)

Comment by Sienna Alessandra on October 22, 2010 at 8:54pm: What are everyone's goals by thanksgiving? I'd love to be at 152 (down 5.4).

I just made a kick-a$$ loaf of Dill Potato bread! It will make a fantastic meal bread or appetizer!
