It’s been a veggie-ful week thus far. Well, I guess it’s only Tuesday, but ever since last Thursday we have been hitting the greens hard. Recovery cravings ya know?
I thought I’d pop in to say hi and share pics from yesterday because the kids are still napping (as I start this, at least). I’ve finished dinner already and the mood to blog hit, so here I am.
The last bits of the pumpkin roll cake I made for Thanksgiving are nearly gone, but I took a break from that this am and opted for a quickbread with cashew butter instead.
I used Elana’s recipe and froze it a while back. I almost forgot to take a photo, but then I got one part way through. You get the point. I ate one slice while waiting for the other to heat in the microwave. We were running late for open gym so I kinda had to inhale my food standing in the kitchen, which is never fun but that’s life.
After open gym we took care of mega holiday shopping. Hooray for sales! The kids were super well behaved so we went to pick out a new ornament for them. They get a new one each year, and although P doesn’t remember his from his first two years, he remembers the more recent ones and now he and V have very strong preferences in tree decorating.
He chose a snowman nutcracker (he’s OBSESSED with the nutcracker again this year) and she chose a soft santa (which is equally perfect because we have a santa decoration in the house that she treats like her own doll these days – asking to hold it 24/7).
Lunch was my usual kale/avo/macadamia monster. With home-made crackers on the side.
I sipped on kombucha too, until naps were over and then we played a bit until P had swimming lessons.
Luckily I made dinner during their naps which made coming home late from swimming easy peasy.
Kyle was gone so I roasted a big kabocha squash for me (and the kids).
They had leftovers too.
But I just had this.
I went back for seconds and man was it exactly what I was craving. Hit. The. Spot.
Since the littles and I ate together I bathed them together (we are in transition still but hopefully this will become the norm, as opposed to putting V down before the rest of us eat as a threesome). They like taking “brother sister baths” and once everyone was lotioned and PJed we read books and hit the sack.
I had this waiting for me 🙂
Then I took advantage of Kyle being away and got my wrap on. With trashy bravo shows on my computer.
The good news is Kyle is back and our spa is finally working again and clean and full of water so we have our evening plans for the rest of the winter now!
Mm making that bread yum!!
