Friday Faves

Happy Friday friends, and happy turkey hangover. Am I right or am I right?

You can bet I had my fill of mashed potatoes, yam soufflé, and pecan pie. But I have to admit, I totally rotisseried an extra 14 lb. turkey just for leftovers and for my all-time favorite Thanksgiving leftover turkey curry pot pie. Let’s just call it what it is: Weekly meal prep—DONE!

There’s nothing quite like a full day of family and eating to start a long weekend off right. Add to that the super-est day of the year for spending all those fat stacks of cash (wait, where’s mine?) and you’ve got an epic 4-day weekend in the making.

On that note…Gift guides. Are you guys over them or do you want me to share my holiday faves? Let me know in the comments below or just hit reply and email me your opinion. I don’t want to waste your precious eyeballs creating stuff you don’t want to look at or see.

And speaking of…

I’m already looking toward 2018 and mulling over new intentions, new ideas, new goals to set and strive to reach. I can’t help it! Why is my head already into next year when the Christmas music hasn’t even started playing on the radio yet? I don’t know if its because I’m always planning head with creating the Nourished Planner or setting my calendar to planning the next season of recipes here on the blog. Probably both.

Either way, I’m feeling totally inspired to keep looking ahead for so much goodness to come. But for now I need to remind myself to enjoy right where I am.

which leads to…
