I spent a lot of my Thanksgiving waiting for a COVID swab to come back (it was negative). I didn’t get the results until late Saturday, when it was already most of the way through the family dinner I was supposed to be at. My spouse and I didn’t know how long we were going to have to be stuck inside, so we ordered groceries delivered to our home, with contact free delivery.
We weren’t feeling the “cooking” vibe and got all convenience food.
I got vegetarian stuffed turkey to try.
My spouse ordered the boxed stuffing and potatoes and I made fun of him for it, but they were better than my “turkey” thing. The turkey part was okay, but the stuffing it was stuffed with, wasn’t very good. I wanted to like it, but I didn’t. I do love other products from this brand though.
So this was dinner. It wasn’t quite homemade, but I was with my love, and that made it wonderful.
I did make a pie. I used a store bought vegetarian pie crust (I don’t remember the brand) and got the filling recipe here. I didn’t have enough strawberries, so I just made up for it in apples. I wanted a crumble topping and got the recipe for that, here.
It turned out really good. It was the best part of the dinner, and I’m embarrassed to say, we ate the entire pie in under 24 hours!
OMAD did not happen while I was isolating at home. I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner, and lots of snacks. I am much better when I’m not home. When I’m around the food, I seem to have trouble staying out of it.
Despite being a human vacuum for food these past few days, I only gained one pound for the weigh in. I was really surprised about that, I was expecting much more. I did do some hiking once my results came back. It must have helped a lot.
There was also Crispers and Drumstick caramel ice cream. No regrets!

Yikes! Why did you have to be tested? Glad it was negative! I used boxed stuffing this year, too but added sauteed onions and pecans to it. Dave and kids liked it better than my homemade stuffing that I made by making my own toasted bread crumbs and everything… so I guess I won’t bother making it from scratch any more. :- I have learned that the extra effort is not worth it, at least not with this crew.

Oh wow. There’s no comparison to homemade stuffing!!! I guess that makes things easier for you… The covid thing swab was done because someone I had contact with had a family member come down with COVID symptoms. Everyone was negative thank goodness.
