RUN

Over Thanksgiving, we participated in the 43rd Annual Fort Myers Turkey Trot 5K hosted at the Edison Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers.    Jessica and Kelly from the Runcation Nation were there with their families.  Kelly’s children volunteered at the water stop, and Jessica’s son ran the race with friends.  We experienced this race on a brand new course throughout the beautiful neighborhoods around the historic site.

EAT

We have found a new dessert tradition for the holidays!  Dana discovered a Cookie Butter Pie.  We both love the Biscoff cookies we get on airplanes.   He found it through social media.

Cookie Butter Pie Video is available on TikTok at the following link:

This recipe did not disappoint.  If you are a fan of those cookies… make this dessert!  It was the sleeper hit of Thanksgiving with our family, and now they want it at Christmas too!

Here are the ingredients we used (These are Amazon affiliate links.  If you choose to make the recipe and order from Amazon, it helps support the show at no extra cost to you.):

We aren’t going to lie…  We used whipped cream that was made already to top the pie (as much as you would like) https://amzn.to/3UzdMcg

DRINK

Right in the neighborhood where we ran is one of our favorite breweries, Coastal Dayz Brewery.  We are fans of winter brews, and new owner Alex Tatko created a tasty Winter Ale for us to try this week.  Holiday spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and subtle notes of orange zest, molasses, and vanilla?  Yes, please.  Thanks, Alex!  It is a mighty tasty way to get us into the holiday spirit.
