It ended up being just the guy and I for Thanksgiving. After he dropped his girls off in the morning, he came over and we started the Thanksgiving feast prep. I have to say, he’s a huge help in the kitchen. He loves being involved in cooking. He’s my food prep man.

Since it was just the two of us, I didn’t end up making that much food. Turkey breast, mashed potatoes with cauliflower, healthy green bean casserole, homemade biscuits (recipe coming soon!). For dessert, I ate raw pumpkin pie from the freezer and the guy had one of those mini cherry pies.

After we ate, he helped me put up my Christmas tree which he was not excited about. Once he realized it was a pre-lit tree he was much happier. Can’t say I blame him. I don’t know anyone who likes struggling with lights.

Over the weekend, I was busy testing the software for my healthy meal plans launching in January. I’m really excited about it! Everything’s simple, in one easy to read PDF with a printable plan, shopping list and nutrition data.

The weekend wasn’t all work though. I spent a fair amount of time cruising the internet for gifts for the guy. Too bad I can’t pay him in muffins because these Almond Flour Gingerbread Muffins are present worthy.

The winter spices make them warm, cozy and they’re filling with the healthy fat. I like these muffins because they’re lower in carbs and higher in protein. A better way to snack!

I added a collagen frosting on top. Totally optional, but higher recommended! Collagen is an easy way to add protein without a lot of effort.

I didn’t sweeten the frosting, but you could add a touch of maple syrup or liquid stevia to sweeten it up. Either way these muffins are perfect for winter eating!

      You can store them in a plastic bag in the freezer.

    These were wonderful! Would definitely make again. I thought they had the right amount of ginger flavor & they were not too sweet.
