Surviving the holiday without tipping the scales

For the Appeal

Fourteen people expected for dinner, two dogs, one cat and Great Aunt Ellen's bird Frankie. You have a 10-course dinner to cook and there are seven women in the kitchen. Someone is allergic to mushrooms, Grandpa can't eat nuts, no chocolate for Uncle George <snipped>
It's stuffed turkey time, and I'm not referring to the turkey on the platter. It's a lovely season for the overeating types. It's easy to hit 5,000-10,000 calories on Thanksgiving Day - you start the day with sweet rolls and end it with two pieces of pecan pie.
That is right, TEN THOUSAND CALORIES!
