Good morning. Late night for me last night, and so a bit of a late start this morning. But the first thing I did was roll out of bed, brush my teeth and put on my workout clothes. I went right out the door and got 2.5 miles in. Now I am back, nibbling on breakfast and looking forward to a pretty day. I was good on food choices yesterday, no cookies! But I did have one See's chocolate marshmallow caramel candy and added an unneeded glass of port to wa**** down. And I had two rather big glasses of wine. These are the reasons I rolled out of bed and into my walk. Penance. Today shall be about food choices. The kids are coming over tonight and bringing steaks to celebrate Roger's birthday. They are bringing me chicken.

QoTD: We rarely have Thanksgiving at home. We started traveling on Thanksgiving when the kids were little because we were sick of the push and pull between our families as to who's house we should eat at. So, we just started going away for the weekend. But as a child, my mother made disgusting orange jello with walnuts and mandarin oranges in it and as adults, we'd probably pick GREEN BEAN casserole. LOL

Food today:

B: egg whites, a bit of chicken and a tiny piece of corn bread

L: P3 pack and 10 pop chips

D: piece of chicken and salad and a couple bites of mashed potatoes. For quality control as Chrissie says!

Peace Everybody.

No love for green bean casserole, lol?! I didn't grow up eating it - I imagine my mom would rather die, but the first time I had it in my 20's, I fell in love. I use fresh green beans now though. Same with the sweet potato dish - no canned sweet potatoes - I use fresh. Both dishes are wonderful to me!

I have several siblings that did vacation for Thanksgiving for that reason - the pressure is real!

Amy, I love green bean casserole as well. This seems like a collective lack of sanity, such as the Salem Witch Trials.

Ok, I'll eat it with fresh green beans...total game changer for that dish. My SIL use canned as did my late uncles wife. It just had an off texture to me. Mushy I guess. I also don't like it overly drenched with the mushroom soup...I like a balance.

In other words if I made it I'd like it LOL

Oh and I do like the sweet potatoes with marshmallows that have been toasted! Also a fresh tater person. Lots of spice...yum!

Yes! Fresh sweet potato, butter, brown sugar, spice, toasted marshmallows and bit of love. I can't wait for this dish - so damn good!! It's dessert to me since I'm not a pie person.
