I feel like we should still be in the mountains.
Why CAN’T we spend our days skiing?
Alas, we had to come back home. Silly real world.
It’s getting a little TOO real this week. Le sigh.
I’m taking suggestions for my sign for the protest march Saturday. Current winner: “I can’t believe I have to make this f@$%ing sign.”
On to more positive things. Food! Read on for my day of back home eats, and be sure to link up to Jenn’s WIAW baby at Arman’s today!
Breakfast:
The usual morning cocktail followed by my vitamin gummies.
I’ve been back in the kitchen baking this week! These are some muffins I’m working on. I know it’s a win when Vegas eats one every day… on her OWN!
Lunch:
Turkey Sloppy Joe leftovers. This is so easy to have on had – just spiralize some quick zucchini noodles and top with goodness!
Dinner:
You may have seem this in Instagram already, but I kept going with my ground turkey kick and used more of it to make Lindsay’s Sriracha Meatballs. They were amazing. I recommend you make them IMMEDIATELY.
I’ve had them for 3 meals so far. My favorite way to eat ’em is over spinach with a side of avocado. The cooling avocado is the perfect contrast to the heat of the balls. #TWSS

I’m trying to decide what to cook next… feeling a little fishy…
Are you going to a march this weekend? I’ve never done one for any reason… but I feel compelled in this environment.
What’s the last blogger recipe you’ve tried?
I definitely think you should go with that sign – says it all really…. I wish I had some words to try and console you but I am still speechless about what is going to happen… 🙁
Last blogger recipe I tried was Megs blue cheese biscuits… Oh my god they were heaven!
The rally was amazing, but scary. The most terrifying thing about this election is how many people have shown what they’re really about. It’s nauseating.
And those biscuits are AMAZING!
I too wish I could have stayed and rode the slopes of Vermont, blissfully unaware of anything but the snow and my board. *sigh*
I love the top pick for the sign but ugh…the thought of it turns my stomach. I’m still thinking of ways to bury my head on Friday…probably right into a big bottle of wine!
There were so many amazing signs. I wish we could have a march every weekend. It made me feel so much better about people. And then worse when I saw some people’s reactions on FB. LOL!
Turkey for you and turkey for me. Can’t believe Mike Tyson gave that girl VD.
I like the sign you mentioned in your audio message. It definitely needs to involve pussy.
LOL! Say whaaaaat?
And just think, I will have to be sober for all of this nonsense
Don’t worry. I drank enough for both of us!
I’ve never attempted a sriracha meatball recipe but that sounds really good!
I highly recommend it! It wasn’t a crazy-spicy as it sounds.
sloppy jo balls. That’s what I read. LOL! You’re welcome. Did i make you laugh? p.s gonna really make this recipe. That’s no joke.
p.s New Zealand is still waiting for us.. just sayin
You ALWAYS make me laugh. Except about NZ. If I could leave right now, I’d be GONE in a heartbeat.
Yay for a full day of turkey eats, love it! But uh I feel you about this weekend. I live near DC and have family and friends in the city I’m a little worried about. There is a huge women’s protest Saturday, but I will be out of town for it.
Oh wow… that traffic will be unreal! I’m so glad the women’s marches all were peaceful. Leave it to the ladies. 😉
Oh my God. I can’t even watch what’s about to go down with this dude. He’s out of control. Then again, so is our government so I figure it can’t get worse. Trying to be optimistic. There’s always working out, alcohol and more glorious food! Totally need those siracha balls in my life, or any balls for that matter. Whoops! Did I say that out loud? LOL
*snirt* I needed that laugh after this weekend. Here’s hoping for ya… 😉
I should march this weekend but it’s gonna be too cold for me so I’ll pass. I like your sign slogan idea because really….how the f@$% did our country let this happen? Gonna go to the store now and get some ground turkey. Cook something with salmon next.
It was a bit cold and it rained, but it was so worth it for me. I knew Friday I would go, rain or shine. I needed that unity this weekend!
I wish I could watch the inauguration in Canada. I found a cheap ticket to Ontario and was two clicks away from purchasing it, then I realized… I have a job and responsibilities. 🙁 I love your sign choice for Saturday, I’m thinking about making a sign that says: PUSSY POWER! I do live in the Bay Area, and we are a little edgy here lol. Those Sriracha Meatballs look delicious; I love the addition of avocado, everything is a little better with avocado.
There was a LOT of pussy in San Diego! Including my wife’s sign. HAHAHA! Hope you had a good march. 🙂
I’m doing ground turkey shepherd’s pie this week!
That sounds so good! Can’t wait to check it out!!!
Le sigh….enough said. The last blogger recipe I tried was Brandon’s Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowls. http://www.kitchenkonfidence.com/2015/10/honey-sriracha-chicken-bowls. But, those hot turkey balls might be next. (Like your current sign idea, btw.)
Thanks for sharing that link! Honey sriracha sounds amazing. You should definitely try the meatballs if you liked that!
I went with another sign… but that’ll come Wednesday. 😉
I saw those Srirarcha balls yesterday–they sound amazing! Glad Vegas like your muffins. 😉
She always does! 😉
i have been meaning to try Parita’s mom’s enchilada and Lindsay’s energy bars. i dont normally buy ground turkey unless i make chili, which has been on repeat lately.
I’ve been meaning to try Parita’s mom’s recipe too! I threatened to crash her house when I’m in ATL next.
Yes to Atlanta march. Unless it rains because I’ll have Alex with me.
I wish I could have been in ATL to march with everyone, but we were representing in SD!
So my boss told me that she’s going to the DC march with a sign that says, “We want a leader, not a pumpkin colored tweeter!” Haha. See you Saturday!!!! Will text ya for details.
That was so much fun, and so uplifting. I’m glad we finally got to hang out, too!
Haha I like turkey but have never had a turkey-themed day of food. I love it! And those balls look and sound amazing (twss)- I’d definitely be interested in trying them out!
HAHAHAHA –> TWSS
Those muffins do look really tasty! Is that coconut cream on top?
Thanks! It’s a cream cheese frosting. I’m really excited to post it… soon!!!
I miss being a part of these WIAW posts, I need to step my game up!!!
I think I need to try out these turkey balls. If they are spicy then I’m in 🙂
Yasssss! Come back! 🙂
That inauguration graphic is cracking me up, but the sad/scary part is it is the truth.
The whole thing is just nauseating. I can’t believe this isn’t an episode of Punk’d.
