Again, I’ll try to keep this quick, but it’s been a great Turkey Day. I’m thankful for family, good food, and my wonderful husband.
We slept in until 10:30 this morning (I’m feeling sick again, boo!) and then woke up to the world’s tastiest breakfast.
My grandma is so cool, she had Greek Gods’ Honey Greek Yogurt waiting in the fridge for me! I had a small bowl of fruit,
and honey Greek yogurt with berries and a sliver of homemade coffee cake.
Mmmmmmn! I was in love with this breakfast! If it wasn’t Thanksgiving I would have gone back for another bowl! I think I’ve got my aunt hooked on Greek yogurt now too 🙂
We went to a family friend’s house for Thanksgiving at 1, so we headed out around noon to socialize. Look how cute my grandparents are!
I’ve gone to Thanksgiving with this family ever year I’ve been with my grandparents and it’s always so much fun. They have the best decorations, I wish I could have gotten more pictures.
I made a small appetizer plate with pretzels, honey raspberry dip, and crackers with dirty martini dip.
And I had a light beer to drink.
As I mentioned before, I am actually not much of a Turkey Day food fan! I didn’t even eat any turkey meat! I tried to just take a small bit of everything.
Clockwise from the top – stuffing and mashed potatoes with gravy, corn casserole, sweet potato casserole, roll, jello mold salad, cranberries. I finished everything on my plate (except for the roll which I gave away). I didn’t actually eat very much, but I didn’t do seconds because I knew dessert was coming.
I actually gave away that mini cake in favor of a second cookie!
It was great getting to catch up with people and Adam was definitely stuffed! He took a fat nap before we even headed home, and hit the couch asap. My grandmother and I wanted to take a nice walk but unfortunately it was raining. The other disappointment was that there was nowhere for me to volunteer. I really wanted to put in some time at a food bank or soup kitchen today but everywhere my grandma called had too many volunteers.
We ate dinner around 7, and I was actually hungry again.
Leftover sweet potato casserole,
and a yumtastic sandwich – turkey, cranberries, cream cheese.
Plus apple and celery salad on the side.
I was still a bit hungry so I went back for more salad.
We played cards after dinner.
I had a coffee with 2% and an amaretto stick,
a mini 7-up,
and a small handful of caramel corn.
We kept my grandparents up past midnight playing cards, I’d say it’s time for bed!
How was your turkey day?


















Saving room for dessert is always smart 🙂
And I would never have thought to use cream cheese on a turkey sandwich but it sounds perfect – maybe I’ll run by the store tonight for some before I make my leftovers sandwich.
