do you have any suggestions for side dishes for turkey day? FH and I are going low carb to lower his cholesterol, but FMIL makes a lot of side dishes with carbs, and I want to bring another option so we have more than just turkey to eat.
TIA

Re: anyone who has done low carb
If he is trying to lower cholesterol shouldnt he be watching fats more than carbs? If he is eating whole grains like oatmeal they actually reduce cholesterol...
As for side dishes vegetables are great...sweet potatoes are a wonderful healthy carbohydrate. Mashed cauliflower tastes very similar to mashed potatoes without the carbs...hope that helps.

Re: anyone who has done low carb
we were suprised when his doctor ok'd Atkins, saying try it for a month then retest. he was eating oatmeal every morning, and his cholesterol went from 296 to 285. Not enough, so the doc said to try atkins
