The Meal That Keeps On Giving

HIKE AWAY!

IMG_0017 (640x480) (2)

We went to the Anne Springs Close greenway where I volunteered at the garden this fall

IMG_0010 (640x480)

IMG_0011 (640x480) (2)

IMG_0012 (640x480)

We got to play with some animals

IMG_0013 (640x480) IMG_0015 (640x480) (2) IMG_0014 (640x480)

And saw a family of horses and their humans out for a Thanksgiving walk

IMG_0019 (640x480) (2)

Braved the trolls under the bridge

IMG_0021 (640x480) (2)

IMG_0022 (480x640)

Dad spotted some big hairy vines

IMG_0025 (480x640)

We did about 4 miles around a lake and back

IMG_0024 (480x640)

IMG_0026 (640x480)

IMG_0027 (640x480)

The boys did dangerous things

IMG_0028 (640x480) (2)

We found the evidence of wild animals

IMG_0029 (640x480) (2)

And I found the ONIONS I planted to be sprouting nicely!

IMG_0030 (640x480) (2)

By the time we got home I had quite the appetite for a Hugh Jass salad! Karen brought over some greens and we made this big bowl –

IMG_9859 (640x427)

I heated up some leftovers…

IMG_9860 (640x427)

Definitely the best leftover Turkey Day creation I’ve ever made –

IMG_9864 (640x427)

Cranberry sauce made the perfect topper

IMG_9867 (640x427)

IMG_9865 (640x427)

Alcohol flowed, but I abstained

IMG_9868 (640x427)

Until Matt brought out a stout for us to taste and I had a few sips

IMG_9871 (427x640)

I also abstained from pie, saving it for after dinner tonight, but I ended up having a bite or two after all to cleanse my palate

:mrgreen: this !

IMG_9873 (640x427)

Mmmm mmm.

We’re going to kick back and relax a bit and then we’re going out for a casual dinner this evening.

Miss you guys while you’re all off enjoying your company!

    It’s so wonderful to see how healthy and fun time with you family can be! And, you’ve inspired me to get outside and walk post-Thanksgiving, instead of just another indoors vid workout. 🙂 Time to go play in the leaves!

    ps- Tell those boys to be careful!!! Does that picture make anyone else nervous??

    What a gorgeous day Kath! Perfect way to burn off those extra Thanksgiving calories. 😉

    I’m so jealous of the weather you are having. It’s SO cold today in Wisconsin. I think Mother Nature was just holding off until after Thanksgiving for us!

    A hike seems like the perfect way to enjoy the day. I, of course, went shopping 🙂 but it was an outdoor outlet mall, so at least I was outside. 🙂

    Bah! Hope Matt stayed away from those hairy vines! 😉

    I think that looks like an awesome leftover meal too. Anything tastes good turned into a salad, def. trying that at Christmas this year.

    I love the Thanksgiving in a bowl salad. There’s a sandwich place here that makes a Thanksgiving wrap complete with stuffing and all 🙂

    Kath, Happy day.
    What is your opinion on tofu? I hear both good and bad things about it and am not sure anymore. I try to limit processed foods. If I have a sunshine burger at lunch and tofu at dinner , is that too many processed foods? (I may not have the tofu for dinner, I may have eggs for dinner instead. I hoped to have a vegan day, but a vegetarian day should also be good occasionally.) I eat meat a lot, but eggs are different rights? (I am considerng the facts that they say it is good to have a meatless day occasionally). Thanks. Happy Holiday.

      A,
      I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you described, but that’s just my opinion! I don’t consider tofu a highly processed food because the ingredient list is pretty low.

    Anything on top of salad is healthy..right? 🙂 Great way to eat leftovers! I just heated them up and ate them since we were at a hotel and didn’t have any veggies in reach. I wish I could hike but I live in Florida, so it’s not really hiking as much as walking on flat surfaces which doesn’t lead to exciting hikes..oh well!

    You inspired me to put my sister’s homemade cranberry sauce on top of my salad today, along with a drizzle of balsamic, and it was a perfect lunch! I’ll have to remember that for next year, or convince her to make the cranberry sauce again for Christmas.

    That salad is a great way to “re-purpose” Thanksgiving left overs.
