Perfect timing! My wife brought some of these home from a work party last week, and I promptly gobbled them all up.

I'm ashamed I haven't added snickerdoodles to my cookie repertoire. These are now officially on my weekend bake list.

Roast beef, turkey, ham, or salami chased by slices of apple with peanut butter chased by slices of colby or cheddar.

I made these last night using my normal triple-chocolate chip peanut butter cookie recipe around 2xstuffed Oreos. Incredibly yummy. They made me giggle.

I did one tray using the entire Oreo. These were huge and spread out a bit. On the next tray I carefully broke the Oreos in half (1 oreo makes the filling for 2 inception cookies). These were more manageable and held their shape better.

Since I bought a ton of Girl Scout shortbread cookies, I'm thinking of making my own peanut butter cookies with them then wrapping them in a double-chocolate cookie dough. Hmmmm.....

I eat cheeseburgers (no bun) this way: a dollop of ketchup drenched in a tablespoon (at least! - probably more) of Tabasco accompanied by an unassuming dollop of creamy peanut butter off to the side.

(grilled meat + melted cheese) ^ hot ketchup + pb = Yum!

I failed - 2/7 - although I bake triple chocolate chip cookies just about every week!

Obviously, I need a cookie.

I actually eat and work out this way, and I've never felt better in my life. Since instituting 15- to 22-hours fasts on an almost daily basis, removing just about all grains and legumes from my diet, and doing CrossFit, I've lost 50 pounds and at 2 months shy of 50, am in the best shape of my life.

I'm not hardcore paleo. I eat primarily meat and veggies with a little fruit on the side. However, I am not above having some bread or feasting on pizza. The deal with that is I only eat bread and pizza that I've made myself.

Due to this I have gotten a lot more active in the kitchen as a paleo-centric meal plan really forces you to cook your own food (and that is always a good thing).

Roasting a turkey upsidedown helps keep the breasts a bit juicier, but only do that if you don't care what the bird looks like coming out of the oven. It ain't pretty. I'm trying the buttery foil trick this year.

Here's chart with cooking times for stuffed and unstuffed turkeys (for which we are so very grateful).

Yep -- what Megs said.

Just like Christmas doesn't start until I hear John Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)", Thanksgiving doesn't begin without "Alice's Restaurant".

I saute a few carrots and an equal amount of celery (along with peppers, onion, and garlic) and add it to my weekly meat sauce celebration.

Render it and use for sauteing rice before making a stir-fry with beef and veggies.

For 10/8/9:

1pm: 1C plain yogurt with 1/2 Fuji apple (diced) and a few handfuls of blueberries.

3:30p: The rest of the Fuji sliced, each one slathered with creamy peanut butter. A small bowl of roast pork and gravy (mmmm, leftovers).

7p: Dinner for the family = beef/pepper (red and green)/tomato/onion stir-fry. First time I made this for my tribe, and they fought over the leftovers. A keeper.

9:45p: Two freshly-baked oatmeal-raisin cookies (quality control purposes only!).

Water throughout the day and coffee as desired/needed until 6p.

Garlic + EV olive oil + soy sauce + wine (red or white and just a splash). A couple of shakes of dried basil and/or oregano are optional.

I try to stick to mostly a paleo diet (yay meat and veggies!!) along with a daily 15-20 hr fast, but I still have the occasional craving for a pb&j or a large oatmeal cookie. Like just about three minutes ago.

Apple slices with peanut butter always does the trick for me. And it just did.
