Boy, did we have trouble with getting Grandma's big party planned this year! For years we made the party easy. Year after year we simply planned Grandma's birthday party at The Makahiki Luau Dinner Show at Sea World Orlando. Think exotic hula girls, partially clothed male Hawaiian dancers, festive Hawaiian music, much drum banging and a cool fire show. There's a feast of pineapples, coconuts, tantalizing fresh fish, savory roast pork and mixed vegetables. But this year was different since Grandma was turning 70.

Obviously, larger birds are more mature as it takes longer to back on the pounds.4 Cups Chicken Broth - FREE6. Eat foods that are high in fiber. For instance, whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, beans, and some cereals are good. (Look for the boxes that say "may help lower cholesterol.")How much turkey should you buy? I recommend 1 pound per person that you�re feeding. After about 20% cooking loss and 40% trim loss, you�ll have 5 ounces per person. That�s enough for Thanksgiving dinner and some leftovers for the next day.� lb. Salt Pork, Cut In Thin Strips - 500 Calories2 Ripe Tomatoes, Cut In Eights - FREEMakes Four 800 Calorie Servings.2 lb.

Enjoy!Salad IngredientsToss together all salad ingredients in a bowl, except Romano Cheese.The USDA will also attach �Inspected for Wholesomeness� and a �Grade� stamp on slaughtered poultry. The grading is a purely voluntary program that examines the quality of the carcass, not flavor or nutritional value.Turkeys are graded by age. A �Fryer/Roaster� is under 16 weeks of age. It�s a very young turkey with flexible cartilage and low body fat. A �Young� turkey is 5-7 months old and represents most of the turkeys sold. A �Yearling� is about a year old, and a �Mature� turkey is more than 13 months old.7. Use the grill instead of the deep fryer. If you're going to have steak or burgers, grill them at home and use lean meat. This practice avoids the grease, is fun, and the meat tastes great.The best of my cooking turkey tips is don�t ever buy a turkey with ice crystals formed on it. These quick-frozen turkeys can defrost and then be re-frozen slowly, causing ice crystals to form.9. Go overboard on fruits and vegetables. They contain no cholesterol and they have lots of nutrients like antioxidants.1 Onion, Finely Chopped - FREE8. Watch your salad dressing. Most of them are full of trans fats and cholesterol. Olive oil is good, and maybe add vinegar or lemon juice. Also, skip the bacon bits, croutons, and egg yolks.Mix garlic, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Beat until smooth with a wire whisk. Add olive oil, gradually beating to form an emulsion. Stir in vinegar and season with sat and pepper.2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice - FREE2 Garlic Cloves, Minced - FREE10. Avoid fast food like french fries and anything else from the deep fryer. Those foods will quickly raise your cholesterol so keep away from the burger joints if you can.2 Cups Long Grain White Rice, Uncooked - 1400 Calories3. Avoid trans fats! Not only do they raise the lousy LDL cholesterol, they can also lower your HDL levels! Stay away from foods like margarine, shortening, and processed foods containing partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Most products you find in the grocery stores should have the amount of trans fats indicated on the nutritional information.2. Fish such as salmon is good. Look for wild red salmon varieties, which are very high in Omega-3 fatty acids (good fat.) Also, flax seed is a good source of Omega-3s.The commercially produced turkeys are flash-frozen at extremely low temperatures in a short amount of time. This keeps the ice crystals that form to a minimum. Ice crystals expand and tear the flesh of a slowly frozen bird.� Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 950 Calories1 Ham Bone - 50 Calories1 Chorizo (Spanish Sausage) Sliced In Thin Rounds - 300 Calories
