Catching up on Life, Garden Progress, & Fitness & Meals

The good thing is that these recaps will be a lot longer since I’m catching you up on multiple weeks! I can’t promise they’ll be in order, but I’ll try my best! Let’s get into it. 
It had oats, vanilla plant-based protein powder, cinnamon, water, almond milk, blueberries, banana, and peanut butter. It was the best mid-morning breakfast after spending time on the Peloton. (add me on Peleton! @hellotaralynn)
While my dad was over helping Kyle with the garden beds, I made a giant turkey meatloaf, roasted potatoes, and a tossed salad for the family.
Pizza is one of my favorite foods. We’ve been making a healthier supreme pizza with oat and flax lavash bread. The pizza has sauce, mozzarella, sausage, ham, pepperoni, red onion, and bell peppers, and baked in the oven at 400 degrees for about ten minutes. I could eat this every single night! I always have mine with a side salad. I always look forward to having this for dinner, and it’s all I can think about when I’m on the Peloton in the evening. If I miss my morning workout or can’t fit a ride in during naps, I hop on around 5 pm when Kyle gets home.

I’ve been trying to make more inflammatory relief juices. I make a big batch on Monday and drink it all week long. Since strengthening my leg muscles, I’ve had less inflammation and pain around my knees.

This juice has ginger, apple cider vinegar, celery, cucumber, pineapple, lemon, apple, turmeric, carrots, cayenne, and oranges. It’s really good!

Our Cozy Thanksgiving Dinner with the Family | 2024

We had the coziest Thanksgiving dinner last night with family. Growing up, we always did dinner in the early afternoon, but it often felt so rushed—scrambling to get everything cooked and on the table. Then, after eating, we’d just sit around the rest of the day feeling stuffed. This year, I decided to switch things up with a candlelit dinner and gorgeous fall table decor. It was so much more relaxed, and I had so much fun styling the table for our family. I spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking with my brother, instead of rushing to prep everything the night before or early that morning. It ended up being such a fun, laid-back day doing what I love most—cooking and baking! I think I’ll stick to the dinner theme from now on! After dinner, we all sat around enjoying dessert and watching football games by the fireplace.
