Oops, hit post too quick. The food looks divine, and I LOVE WONTON WRAPPERS! So much fun. Hard to work with sometimes but so much fun. I posted a lumpia recipe a few weeks ago, and even without the pork they were DELISH.

You might also try to find an asian market in your area. I get huge tubs of miso paste in many different varieties (but I like the white stuff, it’s milder) for about 4 bucks. They also have about 20 different types of egg roll wrappers. And it’s got all sorts of fun sauces and condiments and neat things to drool over.

I actually felt great about this thanksgiving – I ate one plate of food, was full, didn’t go back for seconds even though it was all SOOOO GOOD, and then split two pieces of pie with Zliten way later. There was lots of wine, of course, but I was most concerned with not stuffing myself. And I did just fine! Woo! No weight gain (even an itty loss) after so woohoo again!

I am behind on my blog reading, so forgive the late comment entry! Your soup looks a-maze-ing!!! Love it, must try it – hopefully I can find those wonton wrappers. No TJ’s around here, unfortunately.
Loved your thoughts on Thanksgiving and guilty eating in general. I still have a lot to learn about all that – still trying to sever the tie between my emotions and food.

Looks like you did an awesome job with your cooking! Better than me since I can’t cook!!! I get to bring rolls or drinks or something like that!

I think our eating is always a work in process & the learning that goes with it about our choices to enjoy, not enjoy or something in between. We just have to learn to make the choices & feel no guilt about them afterwards. Tomorrow is another day so one day is fine as long as one day does not turn into weeks of “no control”. I love your mirror comment.. it is still you! I had a couple treats myself.. I planned for them & I was not worried about it!

I love wonton wrapper, actually made some wontons with thanksgiving leftovers I also have those phyllo cups in my freezer but haven’t had the chance to put them to use (plan on making little apple crisps with them). My family is thankfully very civil, and I had a great time with everyone. No dysfunctional behavior at the dinner table
Happy Thanksgiving!!

That miso soup looks delicious! My favorite dish this Thanksgiving was mashed potatoes and gravy. It came out SO good this year!

Sounds like you had a good day! Sweet potato dumplings sound sooo good!

Even if you do overeat one day, it does not put on a ton of weight. I have to remember that, too.

3 cheers for no guilt eating!

what? you mean when you woke up this morning you didn’t get 10 pounds?!?! why do we convince ourselves that gaining even an OUNCE weight from one day of minor indulgences is possible? I am so glad you were able to eat mindfully and with no guilt and realize that you can have your [cheese]cake and eat it too, metaphorically speaking amazing work, love!
