Thanksgiving Day [2018]

By

Hi, friends! I hope you had a very HAPPY Thanksgiving! 🙂

Ours was low-key and relaxing. We saw family, ate delicious food, and reflected on what we’re most thankful for, so it was an especially nice day. After a workout at the YMCA and cooking at home, we drove out to my Grammie’s house for an early dinner with my family.

It was so nice catching up with everyone – my Grammie had was quite the group for Thanksgiving dinner. There was probably around 20 of us!

My Grammie took care of the turkey and a few side dishes, but our family chipped in with the rest of the meal. I made Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon from Lexi’s Clean Kitchen and Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip from the new Delish Cookbook. Both dishes turned out SO WELL, and were big hits with everyone. I highly recommend both recipes – both were easy and very tasty! I actually might make the Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip again for Friendsgiving this coming weekend! 🙂

Before we sat down for dinner, Grandma gave Quinn a special “prize,” which he was especially excited about. Inside was a chocolate Advent calendar! 🙂 It’s been tough not to break into it before December 1st, but we assured Quinn it was worth the wait!

Then, it was time to EAT!! After missing Thanksgiving dinner last year, Mal and I were REALLY excited for it!

Yesssss! I went back for seconds of the Brussels sprouts and my Grammie’s mashed butternut squash. Yummm!

Quinn opted for a dinner roll with cranberry sauce. (It’s the most he’s ever eaten on Thanksgiving!)

My aunt’s birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year, so we celebrated with quite the spread of pies! I ate 2 pieces of pecan pie and, my gosh, they were incredible. My Grammie makes a mean pecan pie! Holy yum!

All in all, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving with family!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
