Goals Update & More Football Food

Did you guys enjoy your football Sunday? Ours was lovely. I started the day off with a recovery run (after my 10K) and finished it off with lots of food, football and friends & family! On the menu, I made up my baked Italian turkey meatballs stuffed with mozzarella. After I baked them up, I put them in the crockpot with extra sauce to keep them warm:

As another main, Josh’s family brought over a bundle of wings:

I also chopped up a bunch of fruit and served it with fruit dip:

and I made two batches of Sabrina’s Zaatar bread:

We also had a bundle of beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic):

Full spread:

For dessert, I made big Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk cookies:

And Josh’s made some delicious chocolate cookies:
