Mr. Non-Compliant is at it Again

What did he do now, you ask? Better yet, what did he EAT?

Apparently, Home Depot has the hot dog wagon working again. Mr. Non-Compliant was shopping (yeh, right) and smelled the dogs all through the store. (Ick, I’d scurry out of there.)

This is where I commend his actions.

The smell got to him, and he HAD to have a hot dog. Rather than eating a hardware store hot dog, he went down the street to Portillo’s to enjoy an AMAZING hot dog.

Mr. NC’s “amazing” claim, as I’ve never eaten a Portillo’s hot dog. 

It’s taken over 40 years, but he has this rule down.

Health Coach Carol’s Rule: If you’re going to eat something that is not going to take your health in a positive direction, it had better be AMAZING. And you had better savor every bite.

If it isn’t amazing, skip it.

You have my permission to toss out a stale donut, ignore a dry piece of cake or pass on greasy French fries.

You deserve amazing.

Our Traditional Thanksgiving Menu

Mr. Non-Compliant’s grilling the turkey over charcoal. I’m making the sides—mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, real cranberry sauce (for me), jellied cranberry sauce (out of the can, for Mr. NC), green beans with mushrooms, stuffing and of course, pumpkin pie with CocoWhip. All are gluten and dairy free. 

Saturday, I make turkey pot pie.

And yes, we savor every amazing bite.

Thank you for faithfully following my blog this year. I appreciate you!  

Wishing you and yours a day of amazing food, happy times, and many blessings.

With much gratitude and love,
Health Coach Carol
