Happy Thanksgiving all! Just popping in to announce the winners of my Coconut Bliss giveaway. Drum roll please… Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine said “I’d like to try the chocolate peanut butter!! (US, btw)” & Susan @ The Great Balancing Act said “Favourite ice cream topping is a cherry on top! Maraschino. Of course. Oh, and I’m entering the Canadian giveaway. Hope you have fun at both your dinners!” Now back to stuffing my face!
Because it’s my sister’s birthday!! I’m going home tomorrow to celebrate with her and I can’t wait!! To put it simply, she brings out the best in everyone. And I love her for it 🙂 Happy birthday Laura. Don’t forget to dance like nobody’s watching (but next time don’t set the camera self timer). Because your Jillian-inspired moves WILL end up on the blog. [Note: this is one of the top-secret-under-wraps (aka hideously embarrassing) photos from the sister sleepover the night before my wedding so if you don’t hear from me in the next 24… Read more >

I still got up… Read more >

I simply added in a fistful of fresh spinach before adding in the leftovers to keep the greens from turning into a saturated mess.

I feel like a marathon eater after this weekend. Sunday was my second Thanksgiving in Southern CA. This one was with Kyle’s fam and it was a bit more indulgent than Saturday because it involved an entire day of feasting. To put it bluntly, at no point on Sunday did I not feel full. The day started with a 7:45 wake-up call because yours-truly wanted to get some form of exercise in prior to gorging my face. Kyle wasn’t pleased, but wifey gets what wifey wants. :) It was raining hard, but Kyle’s parents’ place… Read more >
