What's on your Thursday Menu?

DH is Vanilla and it drives me crazy!!! We will even go to fancy milkshake places, and he still only get a vanilla shake. ****** me of because I only take a taste to satisfy my crave and he will not venture out for something more exotic.

I used to think that that was grounds for a divorce but now I see the benefit of not having to share the chocolate.

Glad to hear all went well Grim. Can you believe one of my sister's favorite chocolate is WHITE chocolate. Who the hell eats white chocolate? It's not even chocolate it's an abomination if you should ask me. Don't get me started on vanilla pudding nope, just nope.

Yay Grim! You're a trooper doing these surgeries so close together and being a rock star patient. What, pray tell, makes vanilla pudding so abhorrent? I think it's tasty! I'm glad you can eat and drink today. Hopefully your Queen will bring you some ham!

Julia I don't know how you go entire days without eating. I know a lot of people do IF but I just can't do it. Well I guess I did for my colonoscopy but it certainly isn't easy or natural for me lol.

We are doing a secret Santa at work and someone set us up in elfster. You can even add in ideas or links of things you'd like. It's pretty fun! I'm game if others are!

I went to the grocery store yesterday morning and now there is too much food in the fridge. I inexplicably have an entire rotisserie chicken that is throwing off my entire meal plan. I may make a big batch of chicken enchilada soup and freeze it in portions. It's cold this week and I just feel like soup is a must. I'm making a NYT red lentil soup this weekend too. I've been in a rut and I'm trying to be a little more creative while staying high protein and low carb.

2 of our 4 person Thursday workout crew canceled so I moved us to Saturday so I can have a bit of a lie in this am. I'm tired. Tomorrow is jazzercise! I'm telling you, these classes bring me so much joy. It's so important to find a workout that you love. Jazzercise is a mixture of cardio dance and strength training - perfect for my middle aged self (I swear I feel like I'm 30 but I'm apparently middle-aged!).

B: I need a day off after 3 days of Emiepie egg salad, so, board head lunch meat and cheese. I've been eating breakfast around 11.

L: chicken enchilada soup

D: leftover turkey tacos!

Have an amazing Friday Eve, everyone!

Have you done Zumba? It's fun too.

I love Zumba! This is nice because it's more repetitive and I'm not super coordinated haha.

Oh boy, I feel ya there!

I loooooved Zumba before covid. It was like going to a club but at 8:00am!!!

I spotted that red lentil soup recipe yesterday! Unfortunately, I don't have a subscription to the NYT, so I no longer have access to the recipes (the recipe section used to be free to anyone, but now you have to have a subscription - boo! Although sometimes I can find them regardless since people sometimes re-post them (not legal, but...people do!)). But there are other recipes for that kind of soup that are probably similar. I think I'm going to make that after we finish up the turkey/farro/chickpea soup I made the other day..
