We made it back to Minneapolis but haven’t yet had time to download all the food pictures yet so check back on Monday. Monday, I will post the winner of the Thanksgiving Funny story contest and recap my week in Massachusetts.

We had a great time and ate a TON – seriously. I took a lot of pictures of home cooked Cape Verdean food.

This is a picture of cachupa – I found it online (will post my own pictures Monday)

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving – don’t forget to post your funny story and submit your entry for a chance to win the Vitatop muffins!

When you recieve motivation & inspiration from me, pay it forward.
