Today was a good day. I got to laze around for the morning before prepping for Thanksgiving festivities. I ate well today and it was a bit of a challenge because of the car. When I take a car ride longer than 30 minutes I ALWAYS want to eat. It is out of boredom to give me something to do to stay awake and alert. But this time, despite not feeling well (yea, monthly visitor!), I didn’t stop for snacks. I ate an apple and some pumpkin seeds I brought with me and survived my little day trip in the car!
I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving with my family, but keep your fingers crossed for me as I’ve always been in charge of making all the goodies…skilled sweet potatoes, cranberry chutney and pumpkin pie! I actually think I’ll be ok not eating most of that stuff, but I have to be honest that I am mourning the loss of my chutney. It is probably my favorite. Bad thing is that I also think I can’t get out of making it, because my brother-in-law is convinced that I am the ONE AND ONLY person that can make the chutney right (even though I follow to the letter a recipe…apparently when my sister makes it is just not as good! hahaha).
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don’t let your family and friends give you too much grief if you pass on the sweet stuff and just do a little extra helping of turkey, salad, potatoes and whatever other goodies you make for the holiday!
