You guys, November is going by so quickly already. I thought I would do a little something different for this weekend recap and just put down some thoughts from the weekend.
- I don’t have much time to watch tv during the week so I finally watched this past week’s episode of This is Us on Friday night. I definitely had tears in my eyes.
- Monthly massages are heaven and my masseuse told me my shoulders actually started relaxing mid way through. Apparently my shoulders like to hunch up and tense even during a massage. I felt much more relaxed this time around too, so maybe that made a difference.
- I love my kitchen time when no one is home. I play a podcast and just get cooking. I have been making a new recipe weekly for my dinners during the week. This week’s recipe was Thai Green Chicken Curry. No joke, I saw at least 3 bloggers post a green curry recipe in the last couple weeks and I was like, ok I have to try it. Since I can control the heat, aka none for me, and make it at home, it turned out delicious. I even made my own green curry paste with Nikole’s recipe. So good as I love cilantro, garlic and ginger flavors.
- I had to pull myself back from grabbing all the peppermint items in the store for the Christmas season. I did good sticking to my list amazingly.
- Mini bagels are back in my life…I don’t think I’ve had them since I was a kid! I am trying to meet my recommended macros from my weightlifting coach and that means more carbs which means bagels are back for now. I like the mini size for a little snack with peanut butter.
- I loved the sunshine coming into the office/guest room on Saturday, but when it got dark at 5, it felt much later than that. I was productive in the morning, but in the evening, didn’t feel like doing much so I am watching Gilmore Girls again. Soon I have to dig out my Christmas movies to watch.
- I can survive on an average of 7 hours of sleep a night during the week, but I rely on the weekend to catch up and get 9-10 hours a night. I finally got those 9 hours both Friday night and Saturday night and it was great.
- I took my time in bed Sunday morning as I was so cozy. It is definitely so much harder to get up in the morning in the winter.
- I made pancakes with flour this weekend! I know that shouldn’t be a big deal but usually I make pancakes with egg, banana and protein powder and this time I just made single serve regular pancakes.
- Lunch on Sunday was also inspired by Nikole, roasted some delicata squash for the first time and it was delicious and only took 25 minutes in the oven.
One thing I love about the weather getting cooler is that it’s perfectly acceptable to run the oven for a few hours. It heats up the house a bit and I get delicious roasted veggies.
Alright, onto the week. One full week of work and then just 3 days next week and it’s Thanksgiving!!
What’s your favorite vegetable to roast?
I love roasted brussel sprouts and sweet potatos.

I’m glad that you enjoy cooking and are getting enough sleep! Love, your mom who is the opposite in both respects!
Yum, your noms look great! I love roasted brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes as well – I actually have a huge Tupperware of just those two in the fridge. The white Japanese sweet potatoes roasted are so delicious. 🙂 My masseuse recommends icing the massage area right when you get home and drinking lots of water. The icing really does help lock in that relax feeling. Once, I forgot to drink water and was so nauseated that I couldn’t get off the couch. Stay hydrated!
I love keeping a tupperware in the fridge of my roasted veggies too. I have been doing that more lately. I am always pretty good at drinking water after my massage but I don’t really spend time icing and I know my masseuse recommends that as well.
