It's been really nice spending time with my family in Virginia, and this last week and a half has really flown by! I'm here until Wednesday, though, so I have a few more days to hang out and enjoy relaxing at the lake. I can't believe it's December already--the holiday decorations are out in full force! Here's a look at my November, in photos.

 

 

1. Christmas before Thanksgiving at Mall of America.

2. Lots of dates with this cute guy.

3. Made a list of things to do in while in Virginia--I'm on a roll so far!

4. Cozy apartment candles. (This one was a gift from my lovely Maid of Honor.)

5. Got this calendar in the mail! So excited about Alt Summit in January.

6. The view from my parents' house.

7. College roommate reunion. | 8. Thanksgiving dinner!

9. Got quite a bit of hair chopped off at the salon last week.

10. Cozy Sunday boat ride with my brother and sweet dog.

 

In other news, I picked up my wedding dress yesterday! It's so nice to have it hanging in my closet.

I saw Catching Fire with my family last night and it was pretty awesome.

And regular ad spaces are still 20% off until Christmas!

 

How was your November?

It has really been so nice spending time at home this past week--seeing friends, going to my favorite restaurants, taking time to just catch up with the people I don't see enough anymore. Virginia is gorgeous and my parents' house is as warm and comfortable as ever. This morning we're heading downtown to run the Drumstick Dash and then, like every other year, we'll get coffee at Mill Mountain before heading home to get ready for a day of cocktails and eating. That's what this time of year is about, right? Spending time with your family; doing all the traditions (especially those that involve coffee, liquor, and eating), and feeling overwhelmed with everything we have to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope it's full of love, laughter, and really good food.

We all know that fish is really important to our health and fitness, and I'm constantly trying to get more fish into our diet, so it was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to try out some Sizzlefish products the other week.

Sizzlefish is a home-delivery supplier of pre-portioned, high quality (pure and untreated) seafood, and they've specially developed their products with athletes in training in mind. Everything is flash-frozen and shipped directly to you. They sent me their Omega-3 Protein Mix, which came with two servings each of of coho salmon, Atlantic salmon, sablefish, rainbow trout, catfish, Atlantic cod, and haddock. I'm pretty sure this was my first time having sablefish, and it was so delicious (the texture kind of reminded me of lobster). 

I prepared each one almost exactly the same way--I just seasoned them with salt, pepper, onion powder, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder before pan-frying them with some grass-fed butter. I added some dill to the salmon and at it on a bed of spinach with some home-made balsamic vinaigrette and a slice of lemon. So good! I have a couple more servings of salmon still in my freezer and I'm probably going to eat those as soon as I get back to Minneapolis. It's so nice to have healthy, good food waiting for you in the freezer at all times, don't you think?

How often do you eat fish? What's your favorite?
