Oh how I loathe the change of seasons! Ok so in upstate New York we were enjoying a very nice Indian Summer as both I and Chrissy have commented on, however that ended at the start of this week much to my dismay. Thus resulted my downturn. I have a horrible reaction to the change of seasons, especially when it's so drastic. One day its bright, sunny, and 70, next day it's cloudy, snowy, and hovering around 30 degrees. So for the past week, and mainly the last two days I've been dealing with my sinus' and how much they hate the flip-flopping weather.
As a result unfortunately I have barely done anything at all except watch TV, sleep, and ponder what to put on my Christmas list for the bf. The later I loved doing, but after a while the former gets pretty boring. Fortunately, I felt ok enough today to venture back into work and am hoping to make it to the gym tonight. Trust me, even the thought of the gym the last few days made my whole body hurt, let alone actually attempting it.
So better news...this weekend my bfs best-friend, his wife, and a whole bunch of their friends are having a pre-thanksgiving dinner together. Now, I have yet to meet these people simply because every time we were suppose to meet up something on their side happened or something on my side happened. I am extremely nervous about this, as I have never met any of these people, but mainly because this is my bfs BEST-FRIEND!!!, so of course I want to make a great impression. But outside of just trying to put on the best outfit and attitude, I also have to make a 'Thanksgiving' side dish to bring. I DO NOT know any side dish recipes to cook! HELP ME PLEASE!!!! It's times like these where I wish my bf was one of those famous 'Iron Chefs' on tv.

Why don't you bring a salad? It's easy, and if you bring your own dressing and such, you know that you can eat it relatively guilt free. I will typically bring a caesar salad and then I'll make my own croutons (melt butter in a saucepan with garlic and Italian seasoning, cut up a few pieces of whole wheat bread into bite size pieces, toss the bread in the garlic butter, and bake in the oven until crisp). Then fry up some turkey bacon for fresh bacon bits. It's pretty easy, but it doesn't look it, and that's the key. If you're still stuck, use the internet - Bettycrocker.com is my go-to website for easy recipes, and you can search based on health aspect (low cal, low fat etc.). Here's what she has for a Thanksgiving potluck: http://www.bettycrocker.com/entertaining/all-holidays/Thanksgiving/A-Potluck-Thanksgiving.htm
