The End

     
Well everyone today is the last day of my Christmas vacation. Although I don't work I do stay at home with the squirrel. Even though it doesn't seem like I would dread Mondays or in this case Tuesdays I do. The husband goes back to work tomorrow so I'm on my own. Taking care of the squirrel is a full time job and it can definitely be lonely at times.

This is usually the most depressing part of the year for me. All the excitement from Christmas is over and we all go back to the daily grind. This year I was looking forward to getting back to some normalacy. Now that tomorrow is the day everything goes back to normal I'm bumming.

To cheer myself up I declared today pancake day. I made a bajillion pancakes from
Bob's Red Mill pancake mix.

I ate a couple with Barney Butter, bananas, and pure maple syrup.

And I froze the rest for us later in the week.

I also made some mini fritattas for the squirrel.

For the mix ins I did ham, cheddar, and broccoli.

For the actual egg part I did 3 whole eggs, 1/4 cup whole mik, and some salt and pepper.
This made 6 frittatas.


Had they been for me I would have completely changed this recipe but babies need fat and calories. I wish I was a baby...
I baked these bad boys at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I had a nibble to make sure they were ok. They were SO good. Can't wait to make them for myself. The squirrel loved them.
We didn't do much this today so I'll continue on with food...
Lunch was a grilled ham, brie, grainy mustard, and apple sandwich. Plus spinach and hummus.
This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever made.

The squirrel passed out again while eating. This time was during lunch.
What is wrong with this kid?!


Midafternoon I had a
KIND bar. It was exactly what a granola bar should be. Chewy, crunchy, sweet, and salty.

For some reason all of my dinner pictures were deleted. Either my computer has a mind of his own or I'm losing my mind. Neither would surprise me.
We made homemade pizza for dinner and I had a salad with it.
Have any of y'all tried the P90X workout? The husband and I have done 2 days of it. I'm not a fan. It's ridiculously hard and the guy on the video is annoying. Sorry I've been pretty anti-exercise lately. What's my deal? I guess it was the lack of exercise during the holidays. I have got to get back into it... Starting tomorrow with a class at the gym.
Hope everyone had a good day back to your daily grind.
By the way Morgan over at Live, Laugh, Eat and Play is giving away CHOCOLATE BARS!

lol aww Kristen I'd like to be a baby too. Or at least need to eat like one, I think I'd be pretty good at that part :)
I'm kinda bummed about the whole Holiday season being over with too. So much buildup, then its gone in a flash!! Its hard to get back to normal.
Have fun at the gym tomorrow though! Make those endorphins up your mood :)

GREAT eats in this post!

Being a stay at home Mom is HARD work! In Canada we get 1yr mat leaves which started by the time I had my son. Being home with the 2 kids for that time was probably the hardest work I've ever done. I have full respect for all you SAHM!!!

Pancakes seem like the perfect way to ease out of vacation mode. And those fritattas! Mmm.

I have p90x and I've only done it a few times. I wasnt a huge fan either. It was more lifting and not enough cardio for me personally. I'm not looking to get jacked and bulky. I think i will use it as an at home workout when I can't make it to the gym for whatever reason and/or its too cold to run outside.

lol, she's so cute!! I wish I could sit in a high chair and be served lunch, and then pass out in the middle of the day. haha, ok, maybe not the high chair part :)

I love that you froze your pancakes, that's a great idea. I had not thought about doing that.

I also LOVE Kind bars. Why the heck do they have to be so darn expensive?!

Your daughter is adorable! I did the P90x yoga workout and it was pretty intense. I don't think I'm one that can follow a video workout everyday. I need to get outside and clear my mind. Something about listening to that guy babble on + on just does not make me feel as good! I have had some girl-friends who have done it and liked it and a few guy friends too...to each their own! =)
