Light eating, grateful, and prepping.

In preparation for the big eating set for the latter part of the week we had soup and salad for dinner tonight.

Black bean/pumpkin soup with a butternut squash salad but soup and salad nonetheless.

As for being grateful, I'm awfully glad we're not traveling anywhere this week; it's so gross outside and even just driving a mile to pick up Mike earlier today took forever.

And prepping; I need to be on top of my game tomorrow and get as much ready/done for Thursday as I can. We're hosting and though people are bringing some dishes, "dinner" is earlier than I'm used to on this holiday {our plan is for 4}, and that means I have to be up and at em in the morning. Plus we have one oven and I need to bake/roast several things so there will be some juggling going on.

In all, I'm excited and looking forward to a cozy day inside tomorrow getting ready for Thanksgiving.
