Read MoreThis recipe for fast and appetizing baking powder bagels uses either wheat or gluten free flour and has 5 simple ingredients – 6 if you add sesame seeds sprinkled on top before baking.

Plain Greek yogurt is low in carbs and has little sugar. The flavoured varieties have more sugar so eat those in moderation.

What is leftover after Thanksgiving is wonderful as a jam – a slice of baguette with a bit of brie topped with some cranberry chia sauce – delish!
