Who’s excited for Thanksgiving?
Is it about the food or the company?
Do yourself a favor and watch this before you leave to spend a few days with your family:
Oh Adele… you slay me.
Read on for my clean-out-the-fridge-before-we-leave eats, then check out Jenn’s WIAW baby over at Arman’s this week!
Breakfast:
I had my usual morning cocktail and sludge (mixed with kombucha this time).
This was a scramble-tart. Â I’d made a tart, but we didn’t love the crust. Â So I scooped out the middle and scrambled it with another egg. Â Whatever works!
Mid-Morning Snack/Lunch-ish:
I finished my workout and had a couple of calls to take, so I parked it at Starbucks with a passion fruit iced tea and a chocolate cookie dough Quest bar.  Quest bars are especially awesome when you leave them in your hot car and they get a melty.
Dinner-ish:
I worked longer than I meant and had to go buy some new wheels for my derby kicks… so this was my meal at about 4p before running out again to derby practice.
Salad with leftover grilled chicken, red bell peppers, and raspberries. Â I told you this was a clean out the fridge day…
Late Dinner :
I made a classic – my 150 calorie mug cake. Â This one was sans spinach though.
Topped with P28 White Chocolate PB Protein Spread and TruWhip.

We’re back on the east coast. Â Why is it so cold here?!
Did you clean out your fridge before Thanksgiving?
Did you get Adele’s new album? Â Vegas has it on repeat!
So glad I watched that video. Sooo funny. Haven’t bought the full album yet, just a couple songs.
I have to admit… it doesn’t get old!
Sorry to hear the tart didn’t work out but that filling looks yummy! I wouldn’t have wasted it either!
I think I must be the only one out there who doesn’t like Adele’s music… Her voice drives me insane! And not in a good way! Haha!
Whaaaat?! I’m not sure we can be friends. (Kidding, kidding.)
Yum! I’m loving that salad combo with the raspberries. Putting on my list of things to try!
It’s so cold! I mean, granted we’ve had a beautiful fall on the east coast and it is late November but it’s cold!! I love Adele. I have to get her new album! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
I never thought I’d say this… but I do miss the fall chill! It’s 75 here already!
Oh man, thanks for sharing that SNL video. Aunt Kathy is like 10 of my various aunts.
That mug cake looks incredibly fluffy! Mine usually look like hockey pucks.
I think we may share aunts. LOL!
Let me know if you check out my mug cake – it hasn’t failed me yet (knock on wood).
Yikes I need to clean out my fridge! In PA it’s actually going to be 65 on Thanksgiving which is super warm for that time of year! Enjoy your time with you fam 🙂
omg hilarious video!! Good luck surviving T day with your family!
I love your creative repurposing of the tart! Eggs make everything better.
I haven’t cleaned out my fridge because I’m hosting Thanksgiving, lord help me…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Isn’t that the truth? Slap an egg in it and I’ll eat nearly anything.
I LOVED that SNL sketch! Laughing my ass for sure!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Laura!! <3
I don’t know how, but that show keeps getting funnier.
Well, we kind of clean out the fridge, but it’s still relatively full. Right now we have the turkey thawing out in one of the refrigerators. I actually cleaned out one of our freezers, transferred the food into the refrigerator freezers, and turned the big freezer off. That was kind of a rewarding feeling!
Whoa. That’s a big accomplishment!
I love the way you clean out the fridge – all of this looks amazing! That pumpkin mug cake sounds fabulous, maybe I’ll have that for breakfast!
It’s my favorite! I’d love to hear what you think if you try it!
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s about the company….who share the food…so somehow, it’s about food too!? 🙂 I want that scramble tart. Now. Clean out the fridge days (aka mixing everything together and hoping for the best) is becoming my acclaimed hobby.
HAha I do love that SNL sketch. My mom sent it to me the same day I watched it – definitely relatable for so many, huh? And of course, that is a great song 🙂 Love your mug cake!! I need to definitely get on the mug cake bandwagon when I want something sweet after dinner and have no more cookies 😉
That’s awesome your mom sent it. LOL!
It is cold here! Bahhh.
I have been cleaning out the fridge but it was mostly because I’m “trying” to be organized and make freezer meals for post baby meals.
The mug cake looks delicious! I may eat it as I sing along to the new Adele album, so good 🙂
That’s really smart! I know Lindsey (Lean Green Bean) did a good job of that and wrote a whole post on it…
Hahahah! That SNL skit is HILARIOUS!!!! I’m so excited for Turkey day! just to put my feet up and relax 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the idea of a scramble tart – have a great turkey day tomorrow!
That Adele skit was so funny! I watched her on the Today show this morning at the gym and realized have the people on the cardio machines were also watching her.
Cleaning out the fridge is on my agenda for today. Gotta make room for all those leftovers!
That salad looks delicious!!
We’ve been working on cleaning out our fridge but I still have some stuff in there to finish up. I hate wasting food!!!
That Thanksgiving Miracle skit from SNL was hilarious. A gem in a not-so-great episode, so I was pretty pleased! Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
Confession: I never actually watch the show. I just wait for people to re-post the funny stuff on FB. 🙂
Well I kinda cleaned out the fridge today with all the cooking I did 😛
YUM! You’re eats look amazing! Talk about a good clean-out-the-fridge day! I used to LOVE Quest bars before I went Dairy free, honestly, I still miss them sometimes! SO tasty and filling! 🙂 Also, that mug cake?! Yummy!
I can’t believe they haven’t come out with a dairy-free bar yet. I’m sure it’ll come one day soon!
Hadn’t seen that video before too funny, love Adele.
She’s hilarious. I want to be her BFF.
Love the ISH on your snacks/ meals. I rarely eat structured meals at “regular” times anymore… and I think it’s great you just went with it when your crust didn’t turn out as you thought. Love your WIAW posts
Thank you! “Ish” meals seem to happen more and more lately with the holidays and being so busy!
We had a large group of family and friends staying with us leading up to Thanksgiving, and a little after, so my fridge remained relatively wiped out this year and spared me the problem of clearing it out myself haha!
