Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 

 It was just the two of us here in Salt Lake City, but that did not stop me from making a feast!

Before I started all the gluttony, I started the day with the traditional 5 mile run.  This was my first year missing the Turkey trot in a long time, but I still managed to get in a run in the gorgeous Memory Grove and City Creek area and call it even. 

(It was a gorgeous warm day and awesome weather for running)

  After the running.. came all the cooking.  Followed by all the eating. 

I thought it would be fun to include some of the yummy things I made with links to the recipe... Because Christmas Dinner is right about the corner!

Herby turkey! Don't worry, it did not come out green. 

Citrus and Herb Roasted Turkey

Yes this was for... 2 people. 

And to drink:  Holiday Mule

For the appetizer:   Cranberry Pecan Brie

And the sides!  

Slow Cooker Mash

Stuffing with caramelized onions and bacon

Balsamic Brown Sugar Bacon Brussels 

Mixed green fall salad with apple cider vinaigrette

DESSERTS!  

Pecan Pie  and Pumpkin Pie

Because it is important to have a pie per person ratio.. right?

It was a delicious low key Thanksgiving with lots of food  way too much food.

Check back in to see what I did with all those leftovers :) 

And how I spent my weekend trying to burn off those pies.
(don't worry there is still a bunch of pie left.  aka my current breakfast)
