Top Ten Tuesday: Thanksgiving Favorites

Good Tuesday Morning!!!



I missed last weeks Top Ten Tuesday because life is crazy. So I am back on schedule with today's top ten and today we are talking about Thanksgiving.

I love Thanksgiving. I love the tradition, the smells, the food, but I mainly love what Thanksgiving does for family and friends.

Here is my Top Ten Things I love about Thanksgiving.

10. I love running the Turkey Trot. The Turkey Trot is probably one of my favorite races all year. There are 1000's of people, it is usually chilly and it is 3 miles of fun along a local neighborhood and a great way to kick off the day.

9. Turkey!! Seriously I love turkey and we eat it all day long on Thanksgiving. We usually go to James's grandmas for lunch because they start dinner around 12 and then I put a turkey in the crock pot and let it cook all day so we have left overs all weekend long.

8. Cranberries. I love cranberry sauce on a good piece of turkey and it tastes amazing on a sandwich afterwords too.

7. Black Friday newspaper. I am not a fan of Black Friday, because well I work it all day long BUT i do love the newspaper that comes with it. The paper is huge that day and filled with all the sale flyers, I just love reading through them.

6. CVS Extra Bucks. I know this sounds crazy but on Thanksgiving CVS has the best deals on extra Bucks. I love me some CVS and I use the EB's so I can buy wrapping paper and etc. I like to plan ahead.

5. Stuffing. I mean enough said on that  one. Everyone should love Stuffing lol.

4. A day to be spent with family. Unfortunately my family is in New York, so I don't get to spend the holiday with them but I do get to spend  most of the day with James and his and it is nice to just be with the ones you love.

3. Pumpkin Pie.....yes an excuse to eat it.

2. Macy's Day Parade. I have watched the parade since I was a little girl and I still do. Once I am home from the Turkey Trot, it goes on and I am watching it until Santa Claus comes down the way.

1. It kicks off the holiday season for me. It brings the start of my busiest and profitable time of year, sure it is  long and hard and crazy but it is 4 weeks of non stop fun and I am ready for it begin.

What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving??

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
