I did not get to watch Martha and Snoop last night because I ended up needing to record the later showing because two other things were recording. Instead I watched part of the Pens game and part of Dancing with the Stars (guilty pleasure and I adore it.) I’ll be honest, I feel a little empty missing Martha and Snoop and I’m not sure when I’ll get to watch the episode (sob). Brace yourselves because it’s holiday time and while I still plan on eating well and working out, I will be indulging in some fun food items. Oh, I will fully share that with you but buckle up because I love the holidays and all the food that goes with it. Snacks were consumed last night, I had a small plate of ham, some Spanish cheeses from a TJ’s little variety pack, and some carrots with jalapeno and artichoke dip. I also had some bourbon because Thanksgiving week. That will be a theme so just roll with it. Dessert was three mini dark chocolate peanut butter cups from TJ’s. Up this morning to an overcast, chilly, and windy day. I went for a run before hitting the gym. Breakfast was a small yogurt bowl with:
- 2% Fage
- Homemade Granola
- Chocolate Chips
Frothy coffee with a splash of So Delicious Nog (I’ll be talking more about this on Saturday). I did some chores around the house and worked on some Thanksgiving prep. After the house was clean, it was time for lunch and I kept things easy. Green beans and a jalapeno cheddar brat by Continental Sausage (I love this sausage so much!). I also made a smoothie but forgot to grab a pic because I was chatting with my mom. It had:
- Water
- Collagen Peptides
- Spinach
- Frozen Bananas
- Frozen Blueberries
Once lunch was over and I was done chatting with my mom, and finished up the laundry, it was time to hit the couch with Scott to play the latest Gears of War game. I was reading some previous Daily Eats posts of mine from 2009 and we were playing Gears of War 2 around this time! Weird. I guess we like to play Gears during Thanksgiving week. We played for a bit and then it was time for dinner. I heated up some leftover beef and veggie soup that I made on Sunday in the slow cooker. I used leftover beef roast, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and diced tomatoes with a beef stock base. It made for the perfect dinner on this chilly and windy day! Now it’s time to finish up Dancing with the Stars and kick back with a splash of red wine. Hooray Holidays!
