Change of Plans

Everything was looking up this morning- I had a 3 hour work day ahead and Isaac’s temperature was down to 98°. It seemed that we would still be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with Isaac family as previously planned since he was feeling better.

I had a delicious bowl of oatmeal/oat bran with some of the usual suspects- maca powder, chia seeds, homemade pumpkin butter, and better n pb.

I left work early for the holiday and came home to grab lunch before heading out to run some errands.

There was a bowl of roasted red pepper and tomato soup eaten and I also had some baby carrots, left-over hummus from the work feast, and homemade whole wheat pita chips that I made last night.

Why did I never realize how easy it was to make delicious pita chips?

Whole Wheat Pita Chips

• Whole Wheat Pita
• Spray oil
• Garlic powder, sea salt, ground pepper (to taste)
  

Cut the pita into small triangles, sprayed them with oil, and sprinkled them with the seasonings. Easy peasy.

I snack on a few pieces of Newman’s Own Organic 70% Super Dark Chocolate and made my way out the door.

I got a little Christmas shopping done, along with a few small purchases for myself. That always happens to me!

I also made a last minute stop by two of my favorite local groceries – Good Foods and Ellwood Thompson’s. I had some t-day ingredients that I still needed… but those few items turned into a few more and I even ended up buying dinner. The Goddess Tofu wrap was just too hard to pass by- you might remember it from the many times be-fore.

It’s interesting how different the wraps look each time I have them, however they may look dissimilar but they always taste yummy. I had 1/2 of the wrap and snacked on some veggie chips.

After dinner I starting prepping my dishes for Thanksgiving and just as I was taking the roasted butternut out of the oven Isaac took his temperature again and it was BACK UP TO 102°!! This means no visiting Isaac’s grandparents and Thanksgiving will be spent at our humble abode. It’s a little sad not to spend the day with family as planned, but we don’t want to risk getting anyone else sick and we’ll make the best of it together at home. We’re actually thinking of doing a board game marathon, which I think will be a fun!

I’ve already prepared a couple dishes that I was going to take with us but we don’t have any of the other traditional Thanksgiving fare around to make a big meal so you’ll have to wait to see what we end up throwing together tomorrow.
