Implosion

Foodblog-1920

I woke up SOOOOO hungry today!! I felt like my stomach was going to implode when I finally got to make breakfast. I’m sure the sleep deprivation has something to do with it. Being up all night and breastfeeding – that’s a recipe for some hunger!

I could not resist eating a few slices off the Apple Scrapple loaf before I even made my French toast. Get in ma belly!

Foodblog-1914

The dish was delicious as well – topped with banana and Justin’s Vanilla almond butter. A little extra egg that didn’t soak in on the side was scrambled!

Foodblog-1927

I found this note from Matt by the milk in the fridge. Guess he really liked last night’s dinner : ) {Note the baby monitor drawn into the photo : ) }

Foodblog-1929

He stuck around while I made breakfast and played with Mazen. Cutie pie!! He won the award for “best dressed” in his crib this morning. But I guess when you’re up against a panda and a llama it’s not that hard to win :mrgreen:

Foodblog-1919

Maze and I went out on a long walk late morning after naptime, and I came back about to implode for a second time. I made a huge lunch!

Foodblog-1931

A salad with avocado, goat cheese, veggies, spinach and smoked salmon bits

Foodblog-1937

Plus a smoothie in a bowl

Foodblog-1936

A blend of 1 cup milk, 1/2 a cup Greek yogurt, half a banana and 1 cup berries. Topped with some granola.

Foodblog-1935

Afternoon events. Have you ever been kissed by a llama!?

Foodblog--45

Lunch was filling so I had tea for a snack. Since I’m in a constant state of dehydration thanks to breastfeeding, tea has been a great way for me to get some extra fluids this winter. I’m trying to have at least one cup a day. I added a little milk to this one too – Cinnamon Chai by Paromi Teas.

Foodblog-171136

Since it’s First Friday, I met Hillary downtown for some art gallery crawling!

Foodblog-181214

We went to Second Street Gallery, which is my fav for its out-of-the-box art and great appetizers.

Foodblog-181358

We nibbled on cheese and some incredible breadstick rings from Mona Lisa Pasta

Foodblog-181229

Then we headed to Market Street Wine Shop for their weekly tasting where Matt met us after work

Foodblog-184159

Followed by a walk home and a bowl of leftovers – BBQ chicken and rice

Foodblog-1944

Foodblog-1942

Now I must get a head start on sleeping or my brain might implode!

{P.S. Do any of you remember when the old Charlotte Coliseum imploded? I was part of the public relations team that managed the event and it was really cool to plan! Only problem was they kept pushing back the date until it was the day after my wedding so I had to miss all the action live!}

        How long to the breads last? I’ve been to my GH many times for sandwiches and want to pick up a loaf but, being a single woman, not sure if I will eat it all by the time it expires. What do you think?

          January 5, 2013 at 5:26 pm

          7-10 days! (The whole grain ones – cheesy ones are a little less). You can also get them to cut a loaf in half and give you an extra bag so you can freeze half. It freezes really well and this is what we recommend to single gals who come in our store

    Mazen is so adorable! I remember when my little guys were that age. They just don’t want to go to sleep, they are so excited to see and experience anything and everything! It was challenging, but I feel like their sense of wonder and FUN has only grown with each year. My boys are now several years older and I’m still only averaging 3-5 hours of sleep a night. I wouldn’t trade one moment of these years for anything.

    That picture of Maze getting the llama kiss s absolutely heart melting! Such a beautiful sleeping baby face.

    Sleep deprivation always makes me a starving maniac too. I started to wonder if my brain decided that we need a certain amount of total “fuel” in a day, and if I don’t get my “sleep fuel” it decides we must make up the difference with more food fuel. Except you made super healthy choices today and I always wanted to carboload when I was sleep deprived. 🙂

    PS. Everything I made in my crockpot came out blah, so I ditched it, but you’re chicken is totally asking me regret that move now! Yum squared!
