I'm thinking we could come up with a recipe for lc stuffing, has anyone got one?
Don't know if this is of any interest but I made this plum & almond pudding yesterday: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/749719/plum-and-almond-puddingGood thread!
I've been googling recipes for some low carb Christmas goodies and I've found one for boozy double cream choc. truffles (I'll do half with brandy and half with rum) and one for marzipan which I plan to shape in to stars or something christmasy then drizzle over some 75%+ choc. In the bad old days I would buy Thorntons truffles and Lidl marzipan so I'm hoping my substitutions will keep me a happy bunny.
On the big day I'm planning to have Lidl HP roll with cream cheese and smoked salmon for breakfast (along with a drop of prosecco) then for dinner it'll be roast rib of beef and roast chicken (with a good sausagemeat, sage and onion stuffing), roasted cauliflower and broccoli, glazed carrots and sprouts-with-pancetta plus a rich red wine gravy and a glass or three of a good red). Him indoors will be having roast spuds and Yorkshires with his, if he wants them although just recently he seems not to be bothering.
I then plan to make some kind of splendiferous dessert - just haven't found a recipe for the right one yet. I don't particularly want it to be chocolate and most special occasion low carb puds seem to have chocolate in it. Luckily doing without Chrimbo pud or mincepies won't be a hardship as for the last 20 or so years they have given me the most awful heart burn, so they won't be missed.
Then for supper, if I'm hungry after all that lunch, it'll be cold meat from lunch with salad and cheeses.
All washed down with plenty of prosecco and G&Ts.
A sausage meat based Chestnut stuffing would work.
On the Aldi website they have recipes for pan-fried Brussels sprouts with Pancetta, also cabbage balls which look interesting.Just spotted these guys on the Aldi advertShould be easy to make lower carb.
Strawberry Santas (they looked prettier on the TV advert to be honest, these ones must be the rejects)

The fried in butter sprouts with bacon or pancetta is my husband's absolute favourite way to have sprouts. He would eat a whole plateful on his own if it weren't for the anti-social consequences.On the Aldi website they have recipes for pan-fried Brussels sprouts with Pancetta, also cabbage balls which look interesting.
Thank u cant wait to make thatI'll put it in the food, nutrition and recipes section when it stops saying there's a server error
Never tried raw brussel sprouts tho I love them cooked, so am deffo going to try this one - thanks @CeleriacQuarter into a salad.
As I said I love em but this comment made me guffaw! The rest of my family are definitely on your side with that one @britishpub!There is only one way to have Brussels Sprouts at Christmas, and that is not to have them at all.
I must admit my first Thanksgiving dinner (in about 1990 I think) was very strange.
I got used to it all after a couple of years, and Candied Yams, Pumpkin Pie et al became quite normal.
Do you have a good recipe for pumpkin pie @vintageutopia? I managed to grow a pumpkin and now have a lot of puree in the fridge waiting for me to do something with it! Made pumpkin and hazelnut scones which were good but not sure what else to do with it!I adore pumpkin pie. I realize that is an American thing, but oh my.
