a wheat free / low carb groundhog day

Being that Thursdays are crazy busy for us

and we don't even eat dinner 'til 8 or later,

I was going to postpone our festivities until tomorrow

but Tyler wouldn't hear of it.

I made mocha cupcakes (they were a bit dry, sadly)

with a cream cheese and whipped cream frosting.

We went ahead and splurged on Almond Joys for the groundhogs;

figured there couldn't be all that much harm in one tiny fun-size candy bar.

Shockingly, I didn't even eat all of my mine;

I found it disgustingly sweet and not tasty enough to make up for it.

Huh! They've always been on my list of favorites.

Lexi didn't have any trouble scarfing down the 1/3 I tossed though.

Oh my!

Speaking of Lexi scarfing, 

 that girl can put away some roasted cabbage.

Sister loves the stuff!

(Her momma does too)

Besides roasted cabbage (2 heads - we ate all but 1/2ish cup)

we ate almost 2 1/2 lbs of green beans

lemon pepper salmon (2#)

and

a little bit of mashed potatoes

(I used 6 tiny potatoes and 3/4 of a head of cauliflower.

Most of the fam didn't even notice a difference. Lily liked them, 

but noted they 'tasted like broccoli', and Josiah didn't care for them)

Just in case you were wondering....;-)

I'm wondering if we're even going to have winter this year.
