Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Firstly and foremostly, Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers! So, like, 80% of you 😂 I hope you guys have an amazing day filled with lots of family, friends, and good food. Feel free to send any leftover side dishes my way. I’ll just be over here watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving…
2. Actually, someone needs to explain this side dish thing to me, because apparently marshmallow covered sweet potatoes are a thing? I’ve never tried this dish, and I’m honestly not too sure what to think about it. I love marshmallows and I love sweet potatoes, but together? Is this something everyone loves or is it kind of hit or miss?
3. Speaking of orange things, I’ve finally gotten into juicing after first mentioning it forever ago. Not as a meal replacement, but as a way to add some extra vitamins and minerals to my diet since my veggie consumption has been slacking big time on account of my stomach not being overly fond of all the roughage. I’ve forgotten how refreshing these things are. This one is carrots, apples, celery, and a little bit of ginger.
4. So, you guys, our weather has been nothing but gloom and doom for the past… long enough that I can’t even remember the last time I saw the sun. It’s not even that it’s super cold [for us, considering it’s the end of November]. It’s just gray and dark and teasing of snow. You know… when it’s all sprinkly snowy but not really snowy. It’s literally dark at 4pm because of how cloudy it is.
5. BUT! Today marks ONE MONTH until Christmas, and there’s no way you can be mad about that.
6. And I hope that you’re not mad that I’m going to keep things short and sweet this week and end things here. I figure it’ll be a slow day around the blog world anyways since most people will be enjoying the holiday, so I hope you have an awesome day, and I’ll see you this weekend with some more food!
Let’s chat!
No questions! Just tell me whatever randomness comes to mind!

Omg Charlie Brown…you’ve reminded me to re-watch ‘race for your life Charlie Brown’ lol!
Ew. SP + Marsh.
I need to start getting holiday ready….eep, I haven’t purchased a single present yet and now I feel like the clock is ticking, fast.
It’s doom and gloom here too, although it’s supposed to warm up a bit this week, and I hope that means some sunshine. I miss it.
The marshmallows on sweet potatoes is some families tradition. Our family doesn’t make it because it is too sweet, but roasted sweet potatoes! yum! I’m putting up my tree today! half way done with shopping. I want to get it done early so I can enjoy it and hmm maybe go shopping for me!!!
I can’t say I was ever a big fan of the sweet potato marshmallow combo. It’s odd to me. HA.
Happy Thursday Amanda from another fellow memeber of the 20 percent! 😉
I am with you on the sweet potato and marshmallow combo…. I just don’t get it… Maybe one day I will try it but I’m not rushing to try it out! Ha!
Daaawww. I haven’t seen Charlie Brown Thanksgiving in a long long time. I’d love to see it again.
I like potatoes and sweet potatoes and green beans and turkey at Thanksgiving, but I’m not a particular fan of marshmallows with sweet potatoes. In my mind, marshmallows should go on hot chocolate or s’mores and that’s it–or of course, plain and roasted over the fire. 🙂
Green bean casserole with cream of mushroom soup and french fried onions is not my favorite, either. 😛
Glad you’re enjoying your juices to get in those nutrients without the tummy-compromising veggies.
Marshmallows on sweet potatoes are the bomb! I literally only have them on thanksgiving though, which makes them even more special. My father-in-law doesn’t make them that way,though, so I’ll have to wait until next year ☹️️
Lol, I knew that sweet potatos with marshmallows were a Thanksgiving thing, but I’ve actually never had it, as we never have a traditional dinner, and always have pizza. 😀 I’ve kind of wanted to try it, though, because I love both sweet potatoes and marshmallows, and I have a huge sweet tooth. It sounds like it goes together to me. It would probably be super rich, though. 😐
Whoa why did I not realize that it’s only a month until Christmas?! Time to put up all 4 of my Christmas trees and cover my entire house/body in twinkling lights. Yes.
The early dark nights are the WORST. But I agree. Having Christmas so close ALMOST cancels it out.
No for me when it comes to marshmellows and turnips/sweet potatoes/any veggies. It smells revolting too
Yes marshmallow sweet potato casserole is a thing and I think it’s disgusting! lol. But I love sweet potatoes, just not that way. And omg thanks for making me realize only one month until Christmas! I love the holidays.
Guess what? My hubby is making the sweet potato dish with my leftover stale marshmallows – lol!! It’s ok and a bit better than the green beans with mushroom soup & canned onions on top – lol! I’m out now to the cold garage where my treadmill & it’s 19 degrees on our porch with a bit of snow. I’m seriously hooked on the oatmeal cookies you just posted!!
Ya Ive never been big into the sweet potato casserole dish. It’s just too sweet for me [ironic?] and I prefer my sweet potatoes savory!
I’ve never had the sweet potato marshmallow dish, but I’ve got to say it does look delicious.
Yep, I think the sweet potato marshmallow dish is American because I’ve never had it either! I hope you get some clearer skies. It’s so hard when it gets dark so early.
I cannot wait to take out my Christmas decorations. The older I get, the less embarrassed I am to admit it! I also love that now that’s it Thanksgiving here in the US, I can start listening to Christmas music. I love the She & Him Christmas album.
Marshmallow sweet potatoes is actually really good. To be honest, it’s one of my favorite dishes. It’s funny to think how fast the year has gone. I keep thinking January was like…yesterday.
One month?! Suuure. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s just a smidgen surprised by -how- fast we got here. Because hi, I had plans – okay. granted, the kind I make every year – to have at least a few Christmas presents bought/prepared by now. Ahem …
No Thanksgiving for us, either, but I’ll be happy eating an extra bit of my latest obsession – homemade healthy Nutella – today to celebrate ;):
OMG i just realized that!!! Whoa, I need to prepare. and both of you all need to come visit me today for Thanksgiving. Mm k? We have sunny weather and it’s 70F.
