ANY and EVERYthing I want!! I'm running a 5k in the morning with about 27,000 other people in Sacramento, California and then I will celebrate with my beautiful family!! How 'bout YOU??

Whatever vegetarian options my feast has to offer
We've all worked so hard and deserve a night of worry-free eating. Just enjoy the company, enjoy the food, and get back on track the next day

Probably most everything, I'll just try not to eat a ton of anything...and I'll probably run a little bit longer that day as well. :happy:

Smoked turkey, mashed potatoes, and a roll. I'm not a fan of most holiday foods, they're too heavy and make me go into a food coma if I eat too much. Probably some wine too... Will be with the in-laws, so definitely wine :drinker:

~Stuffed Turkey Breasts - pounded thin, stuffing will be spinach, boursin/mozzarella cheese mix, broccoli, red onion, fresh garlic and herbs - will be rolled in a lightly seasoned panko-crumb.

~Fresh made gravy that will use fresh turkey stock, garlic, kosher salt, pepper, EVOO and cornstarch (I dont digest flour well)

~Deconstructed Spanakopita for an appetizer using artichoke bottoms that are filled with baby spinach, feta, lemon juice, garlic and herbs and a thinly sliced tomato on top - light Panko coating, then roasted in the oven.... very yummy

~Hubby will have his traditional garlic-butter mashed potatoes, homemade stuffing (pumperknickel/oatmeal bread with mirepoix, garlic and herbs) available to him.

~Vegetables are always fresh steamed carrots and green beans 'as-is' for me, steamed corn for him - I guess Ill share my green beans with him, lol!.

~Will make old fashioned biscuits for him because I know he loves to sop up the gravy with it....


~Dessert for him will be an Apple-Fig Tart-Fine (pronounced FEEN) because he gave me a blow-torch as a gift!!! I plan to use this for when Im cooking, and I definitely need it to make this dessert. Will have Vanilla Bean ice-cream available to go on top for him!

~Dessert for me will be 'pumpkin ice cream' made with my Designer Whey-100 Cal French Vanilla protein powder... Ill make up this smoothie ahead of time and freeze it...

ROFLMAO!

I made a Pumpkin Smoothie one morning a few weeks back and it came out AWESOME! Unfortunately because of how uber thick it came out I filled up FAST, I decided to put the remainder in the freezer for later... Well, when I grabbed it, it had a great ice-cream-like texture, almost sherbet-y.... So, I thought how awesome that would be to turn it into my dessert for Thanksgiving!?

I cant digest alot of foods (most are in the baking side of my life) so if I want to feel like Im having a dessert, almost 100% modification has to be made... and this really did it for me!

Designer-Whey 100Cal French Vanilla protein shake mix
Fresh puree of pumpkin
cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to taste
Silk Light Vanilla Soy milk
Ice - and blend the hell out of it...

Back to the freezer for a frozen treat!~

UponThisRock

All of it

I agree with most people... I plan on eating everything but in moderation, on top of that, exercising twice a day that week.
