It’s Christmas time!
Didn’t we JUST have Thanksgiving?
We made it back from our travels in one piece Monday night, but I feel like a zombie now. How is it already December?
Did you start holiday shopping yet? I did a little t-shirt shopping in South Carolina for me. The people at the gym today loved my Furman University shirt.
Who knows why they were staring… ho hum.
I miiiiight have been tempted to get Vegas a little surprise too.
Really though…
Read on for my empty fridge eats, and join in Jenn’s WIAW baby down below here today!
Breakfast:
I had my usual morning cocktail and sludge (mixed with kombucha since I’m out of matcha).
This was an oldie but a goodie – my Pumpkin Pan-lette, complete with the peanut butter syrup. I was in heaven, but Vegas was skeptical. She’s not as strange as I am… I ate this nearly every day when I was competing. Still good, and she did actually eat it topped with coconut and chocolate granola
Lunch-ish:
There was literally no other food in the house, so I had a cookies and cream Quest bar as a side to my C4 Blue Razz Pre-Workout. C4 is like crack, which is exactly what I needed for my first leg day in over a week.
Dinner:
I went right to Whole Foods after the gym and bought wayyyy to much because I was starving. When I got home I was too hangry to cook so we went for pizza.
Crazy, I know… but I had a coupon and I was also excited to get out the door to buy our tree. And Luigi’s “Crime Scene” pizza is good stuff.
Tree Decorating Snack:
Bubbles. It’s our first sparkling from Kokomo Winery and it is GOOD.

I’m sooooo ready for Christmas baking! I mean… to share goodies with neighbors…
Do you ever go grocery shopping and then have dinner out?
If you celebrate, do you have a tree yet?
My husband will suggest the order in thing right after groceries if i’m exhausted/there’s no time, but I’m too stubborn and will make myself cook! We also have 5 people in our family so going out costs insane amounts of $, which doesn’t sound like a great idea after spending insane amounts at the store!
I normally won’t give in… but that hanger though… lol!
Oh my gosh the amount of times I’ve gone grocery shopping, bought wayyyy more than I ever needed because I was hungry, and then proceeded to eat absolutely NONE of it when I got home (in lieu of whatever would be quicker)! Yay for christmas decorating!! (and champagne) I’m trying to be proud that I’ve even began THINKING about christmas gifts, but I really need to start actually putting some of that into action.
I’m glad I’m not alone! We need to get on the shopping too… I posted a gift guide Monday but haven’t purchased the first gift. Doh.
I need that shirt.
Maybe in a few more months… 😉
Oh man, all I want in life right now is pizza! Looks so good!
I am sure I have gone grocery shopping and then gone out to eat- sometimes the shopping takes up all the cooking energy. I’ve eaten out so much in the past couple months- I need to get back to cooking more!
You and me both… we travel too much!
I have totally done the grocery shopping then eating out thing. I love to cook, but not when I’m hangry!!
Also, I love the idea of getting some bubbly to have while decorating the tree! New tradition?
PS- I want that shirt!!
Oh, we find any excuse to drink bubbly. LOL!
My mom attended Furman so any time us kids went to visit the school with her (it’s so pretty), we’d ask for an FU shirt. Never happened.
I wish I had a Whole Food’s near me, because that pizza looks so good!!
My husband does that all the time when I go grocery shopping. I’ll buy a crap ton of food, then he’ll stand in the kitchen and say we have nothing to eat. Drives me nuts haha.
We had mimosas to go with our tree decorating on Sunday. I say champagne is a must when getting the house Christmas-y!
Funny thing is, my Dad actually has the shirt lol! My Mom got it for him a few years ago and he always wears it! I hate going to the grocery store hungry too because I always end up buying something that I can eat right at that second and end up regretting it!
Hahaha! I think your dad and I would get along well.
Want to know something crazy? I’ve never had a Christmas tree! I have no idea when I will be able to get one, either. What a sad life.
I seriously need that shirt.
Whaaaat?! I actually can’t judge. Vegas MADE me get one last year. I’m lazy.
I am definitely guilty of going grocery shopping, spending way too much $$, and then blowing more on going out to eat! It happens and I’m okay with it as long as it’s not EVERY time I grocery shop!
We do celebrate Christmas. My favorite part is that it’s about celebrating and being thankful for the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King! 🙂 We also usually do a tree too. But we’re always a little bit behind on the decorations. And I can’t believe your fridge is already empty after Thanksgiving! Nice job! 🙂
Going to whole foods after working out is just asking for trouble!
Hi Laura, I got back last night from two weeks away in Florida and am also feeling that “zombie” thing today. I went to the grocery store shortly after unpacking though because the post-trip hunger was real. Happy Wednesday, lady! 🙂
OMG that shirt is seriously awesome 🙂
And I tried some holiday baking last night…and failed miserably. Blah! My recipe was a fail, but my sister and I had a good laugh. And my sweet nephew still offered to try one of my burnt biscotti. That made me feel a tiny bit better 😉
I have failed hard core on biscotti too! Apparently there’s a fine line between crunchy and burnt…
Crime scene pizza sounds genius. Does it come with an arrest warrant?
Knowing us, I wouldn’t be surprised!
I live in a dorm, but I bought a 6 foot tree at target, on sale, for $13! SO EXCITED!
Oh my word… this happens to me way too often! I go to the store for one thing and leave with like 10. Just last night I went to pick up some almond milk… Ended up getting some fruit and nut bars, some corn tortillas, and salsa… always happens! Also, I LOVE Whole Foods. It’s amazing 🙂 And yummy! I can’t eat Questie bars anymore because my tummy doesn’t tolerate dairy, but let me tell you… I used to love them! Have you ever tried baking them into cookies?!? Seriously takes like 3 minutes and they taste AMAZING!!
Ummmm… YES! My favorite thing to do it to chop the cookie dough one into little squares and bake it. Tastes like Cookie Crisp cereal!
That pizza looks heavenly!! And I want to see a picture of the final product of your gorgeously decorated tree. My family & I are decorating ours tomorrow. It was my birthday request instead of a party or dinner to have everyone come over and decorate. The most wonderful time of the year 🙂
That’s such a great idea! Hope it was a fabulous birthday celebration!
I need to start putting Matcha back in my smoothies!! I always forget about adding that in!!
It’s a great way to incorporate it… especially if you’re too lazy to brew it like I am. 🙂
I always buy the most random things when I shop while hungry. It can be quite dangerous for my bank account…but delicious for the rest of me!
That pizza looks like the perfect snack for tree decorating – happy WIAW!
That pizza… I want some!!
I also LOVE the wine shirt. Good choice.
We’re decorating the house tomorrow night… II am going to make us boozy hot cocoa, and warm gluhwein! Cheers!
you’re not suppose to shop hangry! hung over is another story. LOL! i want that shirt. FU too
LOL! That can be just as tragic!
Ugh, I totally hate when I’m out of eggs or oatmeal and I have to reach for a protein bar for breakfast. But hey, that’s life!
YESSSSS so I love christmas and all things christmas and decorating for christmas and wow I love it, did I mention that yet?!?! Looks like a fun time lady and a fun day, I’m interested in this sludge and am clicking the link and seeing just what it is exactly!
It literally looks like sludge, but it’s oddly addicting!
ha LOL love the shirt! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving
Hi Laura, Vegas reminds me so much of my boyfriend, she’s not as adventurous with food as you but she is willing to try some things. Did I already say I love you two as a couple… because I totally do. I also love that Furman University shirt, super classy, just like me. 😉
Awwwww… thank you! How they they not love classy, adventurous ladies like ourselves? 😉
