Hello!
I just love Christmas baking & cooking! Stupid diabetes has never spoiled my fun either. Why should it??!? Food can be delicious, festive, and really good for blood glucose.
How about we put all kinds of Christmas recipes in here? Would make it easier to find them!
Let me start by one of my personal favorite ones! (Fellow Americans will have lots of turkey leftover after Thanksgiving tomorrow!)
TURKEY SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES AND APPLES
Ingredients:
Dressing:
*1/2 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
*1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 tbsp apple cider or malt vinegar
1 tbsp + 1 tsp Splenda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp lemon zest
Salad:
2 cups cooked turkey, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup apples, chopped
1/2 cup cranberries, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 tbsp chives, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the dressing first by mixing the 7 first ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper if desired.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and add the dresing. Blend well to coat. If you prefer your salad less moist, just add half the dressing at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Refrigerate for 1 or 2 hours to marry the flavors.
* You can use full fat if you want!

I feel bad I can't remember who gave me this recipe.
I'll be very honest with you guys... I plan on stealing your recipes and bake, bake, and cook, cook, cook until Christmas! :eyebrows:
