Dash of nutmeg
1/4 cup water (add 2 tbl. of water if eggs are small)
Directions:
Put cake mix in a large bowl. Make an indentation in the center and pour in the oil and one egg. Mix using mixer at medium speed, then add the rest of the eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Add pumpkin, sugar, spices, then water. Bake in greased and floured tube pan in 350 degree over for 60-70 minutes. Cool before removing from pan. Makes a moist and delicious cake--no frosting required.
Patients can feel free to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal. But we would like to remind you there are a couple of offenders on the list of holiday foods. Here’s a list to help you decide:
Good:
Turkey (cut up in small pieces)
Stuffing (with no nuts)
Mashed Potatoes with gravy
Cranberry sauce
Squash
Sweet Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole (minus the crunchy onion topping)
Cornbread
Pumpkin Pie
Not Good:
Corn on the Cob
Pecan Pie
Any pies with Nuts in them
As always, patients should use their best judgment. Some things that may seem okay to eat can still break appliances. Be careful and enjoy this treat!
