Last Minute Shopping
As hard as I tried, and as much as I planned, I still ended up at two grocery stores the morning before Thanksgiving.
Even the best made plans…
There had been a run on a few of my favorite items in the past several weeks, so I had to try some alternative stores, as well as get creative with a recipe.
I refuse to let some bare shelves get the best of me and my Thanksgiving preparations. 
No bah humbug here. Oh, wait, that’s a Christmas saying. Oh well, that’ll be here soon enough.
At any rate, thank you for reading my blog posts, giving me feedback, and sharing some of my ideas with your friends.
I appreciate you!
Even though it’s Thanksgiving, and I’m spending lots of time in the kitchen, I’m excited about our cookie bake coming up in December.
I’ll continue to post the details this week and next, in case you lose an email and want to participate.
The more the merrier!
I haven’t decided what kind of cookie I’ll be baking yet. If I asked Mr. Non-Compliant, he’d tell me chocolate chip. “Is there any other kind?” He’s pretty predictable.
The Amazing Cookie Bake with Health Coach Carol
I’m baking cookies Saturday December 4, and I’d love for you to join me! Through the magic of ZOOM, we are all gathering to bake and socialize and have a darn good time.
We’ll only mute when the mixers are mixing. It can get loud. We learned that last year. The rest of the time we’ll be enjoying casual chit chat.
Now, I know lots of you are sick of zooming. However, this is a very interactive experience and when we’re done, you’ll have a batch of cookies baked and you won’t have to keep wondering when in the world you’re going to find time to do THAT!
AND, if you don’t have cookies for Santa, he may not show. Do you want to risk it? 
The Particulars
WHAT: The Amazing Cookie Bake with Health Coach Carol
WHERE: ZOOM, so you’re in your own kitchen, and yet we’re together
WHEN: Saturday, December 4, 2021 from 10:00am to 11:30am CST
HOW: You gather the ingredients you need to make whatever cookie you desire, and we all make cookies
WHY: Creating cookies from scratch is an act of love, and the world could use more love
COST: FREE
This will be similar to those cookie exchanges, except we make our very favorite—or try something new—and enjoy a special treat together. And you know my rule, only eat it if it’s AMAZING!
As a result, what may on first glance appear counterintuitive to our health, is not.
While the cookies are baking, I’ll be coaching you on various aspects of health. We learn from one another and share lots of laughs.
To join in the fun, be sure to email me prior to Saturday, December 4 to save your spot. I’ll then email you the event Zoom link, along with any special instructions.
Wishing you the best Thanksgiving!
Gobble gobble,
Health Coach Carol
