1 exhausted IGE!

WHEW! I have spent nearly ALL day in the kitchen cooking my tootsies off! If you would have peeked inside my windows around 11am, you would have thought a bomb went off.

There was spices spilled on the countertops, cranberry sauce splattered on the stove, crumbs everywhere…

I never said I was a tidy cook.  

I was working on some recipes that’ll be featured in my November Q Magazine article, all about healthified Thanksgiving foods (I have a DOOZIE of a dessert for you!) and for a contest I’m working on. Here’s a sneak peak!

All recipes to be revealed in due time. Due time.

I ended up not being able to get to the gym because I ran out of time (and still have some work to do!) so I counted my mad sprints around the kitchen for 4 hours good. Plus I still need to do some vacuuming before Ben gets home so…arm workout?!

Tonight we’re watching Get Him to the Greek with Jonah Hill & Russell Brand. Apparently it’s supposed to be the sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which we have literally watched on repeat it’s so funny. I’m looking forward to it.

Leftovers from today’s shenanigans shall be on the dinner menu, and a glass of wine shall be in my hand. Red or White? That is the question…

Have a great night everyone!

Friday evening beverage of choice: wine, beer or other?

ALL my girlfriends drink wine, but I just can’t really get into it! Although I did have some AMAZING semi-sweet Edelwiess white wine from a local winery a couple weeks ago and I do ADORE Ménage Trois red wine blend. I’d say if I’m going to drink wine, I usually prefer a semi-sweet white. Otherwise I’m a Blue Moon/something fun type of beer gal!
