Turkey and wine and I’m feeling fine
Thanksgiving: A time to count blessings, not carbs
Feast mode
I cran and I will go back for seconds
Fitness? More like fitness whole turkey in my mouth
Leftovers are for quitters
Nobody puts gravy in the corner
Gobble ’til you wobble
I get pie with a little help from my friends
More rolls? You butter believe it
Keep calm and gobble on
Let’s get basted
It’s leg day
Let’s talk turkey
Winner, winner, turkey dinner
Touchdowns, tailgates, and turkey
Feast your eyes on this
Don’t be a jerky, eat some turkey
Let’s get cranberry sauced
Thankful for elastic waistbands
#SquashGoals
Let’s eat this beast of a feast
I can’t eat another bite. Oh look, pie!
Vegetables are a must. I suggest zucchini bread, carrot cake, and pumpkin pie
I yam what I yam
Current status: stuffed like a turkey
Oh my gourd-ness, I love Thanksgiving
It’s turkey time
You’ll always be my gravy
