#thanksgivingprep

Chick’s always been more of a pumpkin pie and apple pie for Thanksgiving kind of bird, but now that she celebrates with her friend who prefers pecan, she’s learning to make pecan pie. (And pumpkin, which she kind of hopes no one else eats so she can have it for breakfast for the next couple days…)

Either way, you can't go wrong 😋 #cookiedough #chocolatechipcookies #chocolate 🍫 #chocolatechip #baking #bakingcookies 🍪 #thanksgiving #thanksgivingprep #holidaylove #family #familylove #familyblessed #blessedlife #friendsandfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/CIBfRm8hKBe/?igshid=umch5culo3sj

Pies!!! 🍎 Happy Turkey day, everyone! #foodie #cooking #thanksgivingprep #piedecorating #pies #applepie #thanksgiving #tomifood

Just starting the prep work for tomorrow's cook-a-thon. Not sure it's worth it right now, already tired and hoping to whatever higher power I didn't forget any ingredients. #momlife #mommytus #parenting #dailydoodle #yearchallenge #instaartist #autodesksketchbook #cooking #somuchfood #somuchwork #thanksgivingprep #turkeyday #sohungry #gonnagain10lbs

As the kids say, this morning I was “feeling my oats,” after waking up not feeling so great but realizing that wouldn’t get me the results that I want. So I sucked it up, took some medicine and I went to the gym and finished part 4 of the burn the turkey challenge which included a virtual workout from the @anytimefitness app. Chose the kettle bells today because I’ve found them to be pretty fun and challenging depending on how you use them! @anytimefitnesscasselberryfl #burntheturkeychallenge #burntheturkey #thanksgivingprep #anytimefitnesscasselberry #anytimefitness #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #fitnesswholeturkeyinmymouth #cubby #muscles #gym #instafit (at Anytime Fitness Casselberry, FL)

With the task of gathering complete, Chick moves on to other things on her list.

Some things may be different this year, but Chick still spent today making pies. They are still imperfect looking (but will be tasty). And there’s still a sink full of dishes.

Her weight in potatoes? Check.
Almond milk and butter for said potatoes? Check.
A sweet potato as big as her head? Check. 
Brussels sprouts because there should be something green on the table? Check.
Two cans puréed pumpkin to become desserty deliciousness? Check. 
This bird is ready for Thanksgiving to come!
