November started with Kevin and I attending a Wholefood Plant Based cooking class with Adam Guthrie of I Feel Good. Such an amazing class and I’m excited to also take the online version when its released.

We started having family game time most nights after dinner.

Still doing Goldie spotting when we’re out and about.

I had my first grocery delivery. Got 3 for free so it was a great way to try it out.

I finally got a diagnosis of Fibromyaglia (after almost a year of tests).

In the Kitchen (October)

We started trying to eat a more plant based diet, which has meant buying lots of fruit and veggies.

While most weekdays I enjoy a homemade salad, it’s nice to sometimes have takeaway.

Farm fresh strawberries from Leanne.

There was the start of a kitchen declutter.

Athena made a Halloween Brownie cake for dessert with friends.

And made me my first ever sushi. Actually she made us a virtual bento box (miso soup & salad in background). It was SOOOO good.

There were two trips to Costco, which made for a very cluttered kitchen while I filmed my grocery hauls.

There was soup x 2.
