The Weekend of Food

by Tiff

Umm… where did the weekend go? There must be some left hiding somewhere. Let me know if you see it. In case you missed my weekend post, check it out for my quick Thanksgiving workout.

This weekend was all about food (and drink). Saturday was all about eating, and Sunday was all about cooking.

Saturday began with festive drink purchases.

Saturday ended with lots of snacks, football, and this entire pizza. I know – I shouldn’t have, but I did. It was glorious. Kevin had cheese fondue instead of helping me with this bad boy. Clearly I didn’t need the help!

Sunday was exhausting. I made my first Thanksgiving dish of the year. I knocked my own socks off!

First I caramelized the sugar. I didn’t even know that was possible. It turned out great. Adapted from this Cranberry Relish Recipe.

After lots of chores, I created another awesome Oh She Glows recipe. See Angela’s site for the recipe and prettier pictures.

I managed to squeeze in a run Sunday. I’m a wee bit slower now that I’ve been logging so many miles on the treadmill, but I was still quite proud of this run. I did 3 miles in 25:13, and the splits were 8:20, 8:40, and 8:13.
