In a nutshell it was an okay week, still need to figure out the lunch/snack situation during a work week that doesn't require a ton of spending but I'll get there :-)
This weekend was our 6th Annual Boulder Turkey Day dinner and my second year brining the turkey. WOW what a tasty turkey if I do say so myself. I think everyone enjoyed the day, I really enjoy having a "misfits" sort of Turkey dinner for those that are in the area that may not have their immediate family to enjoy the holidays with.
Dinner went off about an hour late (one of these years I will figure this out and cook accordingly or tell everyone dinner is at a different time ha ha just kidding ALWAYS ALWAYS worth the wait and always works out perfectly!!) but the bird was still tasty and not over-cooked! Although need to make sure I have some gluten free flour on hand next time, the bag definitely stuck a bit to the skin of the turkey (see the bum bum lol)
Tasty Tom
Discovering Gluten Free Stuffing on-line was definitely a highlight, ran out of time to bake it in the oven so had to resort to using microwave... and when it first came out I was a bit leery at the texture, but after it sat there for another 10-15min and was time to eat dinner I didn't even realize I was having GF stuffing so that was FANTASTIC!! It's hard to miss out on Jason's homeade stuffing, but I do highly recommend this product to other GF folks!
You can find this product on-line at http://www.celiac.com/glutenfreemall/
Next up - Greenbean Casserole - I wish I had studied this item sooner, this is by far my most favorite side dish of Jason's, each year it taste better and new people at the table always rave about it long after and also look forward to it the next time. We originally had a game plan to omit the onion strips on the top so I could have some, but as we were preparing it, I realized it has cream of mushroom of soup which makes it a Gluten filled dish.... talk about a let down, but thankfully Emily showed up with some of the tastiest brussel sprouts I have had in a long time and I just focused on those as best I could. (not going to lie, obviously bumming me out since it is a day later and I am still thinking about it, but now I need to do some research for a good GF greenbean casserole).
Here are a few more shots of the day:

Last but not least - My Team Gluten Free package came this weekend, so I thought the best way to dive right into things would be to do my Saturday morning workout with Jess in my new jersey!
Carter always love a good pose bright and early in the morning! Can't wait to get my fundraising page up and see how many kiddos I can help get to camp next summer!!! Cheers and have a happy Gluten Free week!!
