M.I.A

Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of days.  On Friday, I started to feel like I was maybe getting sick. Then, as predicted, I woke up Saturday completely congested.  So I've been in this haze for the last 24 hours and I'm still feeling pretty icky.  So I'll give a little recap since Friday.  

FRIDAY

So I took this picture of my lunch before I ate it.  My appetite was pretty low so I saved the orange for later.  The sandwich is a PB, PB, and banana on a whole wheat pita.  In the bowl is greek yogurt with a small spoon of pumpkin butter stirred in and topped with pumpkin granola. 

By the time I got home that night, I was sooo hungry! Plus, I was really didn't have much in the fridge so I walked over the Whole Foods and picked up a sandwich.  I got a caprese panini.  Yummy, this was so delicious.  

I also had a glass of wine, while I watched Julie and Julia.  This movie was sooo cute. I loved it!

SATURDAY

Saturday morning, I woke up feeling congested and groggy and actually didn't have an appetite until a couple hours later.  Finally, when Katie woke up, I decided make a big breakfast for us.  

I made pumpkin pancakes (TJ's) and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese. 

It was very tasty, which I already knew it would be!  I love these pumpkin pancakes.  I plan to eat them once a week until I ran out of the mix:) I topped mine with pumpkin butter and REAL maple syrup.  Since I wasn't feeling so hot, fresh squeezed orange juice sounded perfect so I used Katie's juicer to make some.  

It was so gross outside and I felt gross, but this was the only time I could go shopping for gifts so I bundled up and went to do some shopping.  The trip didn't take that long but man was it exhausting.  So when I came home we ordered pizza and a caprese salad from Sapore di Napoli, our favorite neighborhood pizza spot.  

We got a pizza with tomato, artichoke, mushrooms, and olives.  I love this pizza because it is thin crust and you can tell they use really fresh, high quality ingredients.  I put on my sweats, put in Elf and ate my dinner.  It was perfect:) 

SUNDAY

Today I just woke up and had a bowl of cereal (not pictured).  After grocery shopping and getting threaded with Gina, I made quesadilla.  The quesadilla had a cheddar, half an avocado, tomato, and red bell pepper.  I had some wraps that were going to go bad, so I decided to bake them up like tortilla chips.  They were not that great.  I did eat a small serving, but threw the rest out.
