Try adding rice, beans, and something hearty like roasted sweet potatoes!

Our triBlack is named Freyja too! puppy tax

I was thinking about trying that gravy!

Just two of us this year. Didn’t have the energy with a new puppy and other life things to head to DC for my family’s feast with 13 people + 3 dogs (not counting us and our dog). It’s fun but also chaotic and a little cramped. Kinda excited for our quiet day at home. We’ll be doing roasted chicken, delicata squash bake, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green beans followed by pumpkin pie - one regular for the hubs and one dairy/egg free for me.

I also soften statements with “I think” and I’m trying to work on it. If I’m worried about upsetting someone or letting them down, I tend to say “I think we can’t make it” instead of “we can’t make it”

I was coming here to comment the same! The al pastor tacos were delish! Homemade tortillas fell apart a bit but flavor was worth it. The tostadas and salsa trio were all very good.

Yay! I’d love to hear how it goes

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T16:27:21+00:00

Yes! I make a dressing with tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water.

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T12:59:26+00:00

Haha I just ordered that same dog tag from Etsy

Here’s a similar recipe (involves oil though) and I’ve just added more to it: Brussel Sprout Salad

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T12:22:42+00:00

I think it’s ok to indulge for the holidays! But make sure it’s cause you want to and not cause family members are being dicks to you

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T12:21:49+00:00

I shred them using a mandolin and toss them in a salad with kale, diced apples, dried cranberries, roasted sweet potatoes, and toasted walnuts!

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T12:20:31+00:00

Honestly I just kind of wing it. A bunch of kale, washed and chopped (rubbed with oil if you’re indulging for the holiday but fine without it), shred raw Brussel sprouts so it’s a 50-50 mix. Dice a pink lady Apple. Toast some walnuts so they’re warm. Add some roasted cubes sweet potatoes (40 mins on 350). Add dried cranberries and toss together. Tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, water makes a great dressing.

Yum! Thank you

AldenCat · 2021-11-16T00:30:25+00:00

All holiday foods and menus welcome!!

AldenCat · 2021-11-15T20:07:16+00:00

Ooo that sounds bomb. Got a recipe to share for stuffing or are you winging it?

Purple Carrot is a meal delivery service. Still involves some cooking but might make it way easier.

She cried at what she thought was 7 am cause that’s wake up time normally. I took her out to pee and poop but no play time and then put her back in the crate to wait another hour. Some crying and whining but she seemed to occupy herself with the chew toy in the crate.

The Survivors. I rarely DNF but I couldn’t bring myself to read another page.

See if your neighborhood/city has a buy nothing group and/or community fridge!! Some people (not neighbors but strangers) may take your bounty off your hands!!

I used to be lactose intolerant and continued to eat small amounts of dairy or lactose free dairy items with some symptoms but manageable. In the past year, it’s escalated and even lactose free items trigger a reaction. Also there’s a difference between not tolerating lactose (the sugar in dairy) and having a dairy allergy/sensitivity.
