Hi Guys! I hope that you had the most awesome Thanksgiving!
Ours was so funny. We were supposed to have to go back to Canada for Coco’s work on Thursday so my family very generously decided to celebrate a day early on Wednesday with us and my mom said she would host (I have been hosting for the last 10 years.) Well as we were driving to my mom’s for dinner I got a call that Coco didn’t have to be in Canada until Sunday. Insert crying/laughing emoji face here.
In the end it was so great- we still had a very normal Thanksgiving dinner and we bought ourselves an extra day of lounging. And I do mean seriously being couch lizards. Like I watched a dozen movies this weekend already and it’s only Saturday. I have been sleeping a ton too. If you watch my insta-stories then you will know I hit my head on a car door two weeks ago and have had a concussion that I feel like I have finally healed with all of this rest.
Ok, so now onto the good stuff- the food. If you have been anything like me this weekend, you are just lounging around and now the leftovers have dwindled and you might be ready to make something of your own. You also might be in the middle of on-line shopping. This post addresses both!
The first is Pork Pumpkin Thai Curry which is exactly what you want to be eating while watching old movies tonight. It’s made with ButcherBox Heritage Pork, which is awesome. And if you are in the middle of a digital shop-a-thon (like me) today then you should check out ButcherBox. It’s one of my new obsessions so I have to share. Life has gotten so complicated for me these last few months and ButcherBox is hooking me up with great quality meat delivered to my door! so that is one more thing I can take off my plate-um yes please.
Because I have been loving it so much, they are kindly sharing the most insane offering with you. In fact ButcherBox running their hottest offer of the year THIS WEEKEND. New members will receive $75 worth of free steaks (2 ribeyes, 2 NY Strips, 2 Filet Mignons) in their first box. (That is a bunch of fancy Holiday Season dinners by the way!)
Check it out- I am buying ButcherBox as a really nice gift for two different family Members that are impossible to buy for but that are obsessed with keto- perfect gift right!?
