Well... it's over! I made it through my first Thanksgiving with my tiny tummy! Sadly, not without eating a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have, but hey... a bite of this and a bite of that never hurt anyone right? WRONG!! I know I know... I should not have eatin the cheesecake or the gingersnaps... all 10 of them (over the course of about 6 hours) but whatever it's one of two days out of the year that everyone pigs out, why should I be any different?
So lets see... I started grazing on cheese cubes and one deviled egg about an hour before lunch... then the meal bgan! ...on my plate I had Turkey, Ham, one spoon of green bean cassarole, one spoon of peas, quinoa stuffed poblanos, and the smallest portion of mashed potato's I've ever served in my life!! I ate all my greens , two bites of quinoa, two bites of taters, and a couple bites of turkey, one bite of ham. I. WAS. STUFFED. and miserable for about 30 mins! probably b/c I ate too fast (again). I tend to do that sometimes huh! Anyway, as soon as I was feeling better I went and cut a little sliver of heaven in the form of Chocolate cheesecake that my cousin's wife had made! it was delish! ...and I was miserable for another 30 mins! later the Ginger bread cookies and ginger snaps... OH MY!
When we started for round 2 around dinner time I had a little serving of green bean cassarole and a couple bites of ham and turkey... then a serving of quinoa around 9:00 at home.
That pretty much sums up my whole day in food!! Over the course of the day it's really not much!
I enjoyed some time with my dads side of the family, visiting with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Louisianna... as well as local family. My dad is also in town for a couple of days!
BTW: this Quinoa I keep talking about could possibly be my new favorite food! it's loaded with protein and is a great replacement for rice in a lot of dishes! I'll try to post some links another time!
I'm at work right now trying to type all this in a hurry so I'm sorry for all the errors in spelling and such...
More to come! Y'all have a great day!
Yes, explain quinoa, no idea what that is, lol. I'm glad you had a good time with our family! We sure missed everyone, especially seeing the Tate's. There's only so many trips we go to TX that they're visiting too! & I'm glad you got to see your Daddy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for keeping the food to as little as possible while still enjoying the holiday meal :)
