WEEK IN SIX PICS...
{The
traditional pound cake that has been requested by my family for the last four Thanksgivings. I swear it never disappoints... }
Well hello there! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! How was it? I feel well fed, well rested, and just... well - and it feels quite wonderful. I spent some good quality time with my family and I think I went to bed every night last week by 10PM. It's been an exhausting few months - well year really - so a long stretch of good sleep was so appreciated! And speaking of well-fed, I've spent the last two days loading up on fresh juices and fresh vegetables to compensate for the loads of amazing food I had last week. Overall we had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner complete with my
pound cake,
macaroni and cheese and lots of other things that consisted of lots of butter. So so so good... I ended my week by putting up most of my Christmas decorations (I'm so excited!) and getting in one last night of good sleep. It's back to reality, but only 3 or so weeks until Christmas!! Happy Monday!

this macaroni & cheese that I made. My family scarfs it down every year! Note that I do add a little extra cheese and a full teaspoon of seasoning salt instead of just 1/4 teaspoon. It needs the extra...}

buffalo check pajama pants (30% off today!) that I wore during yesterday's morning lounge session... And my sweet brother that you just saw also gave me my latest cookbook "
Against All Grain," which is going to be useful in helping me eat clean during these weeks leading up to Christmas... }
