Man In The Mirror

SWIRLwind of a morning!

Foodblog-9276

Matt brought home some 100% whole wheat cinnamon swirl bread from our bakery. I couldn’t wait to make some French toast!!

Foodblog-9279

I used an egg mixed with some vanilla, soaked the bread for about a minute per size and pan-cooked it until eggliciously done. Topped with the usuals – banana and sunbutter. This breakfast, consumed at 9am, kept me full until 2pm!

Foodblog-9291

Although add a few bites of the end piece of this portion – couldn’t keep my paws off of the swirl!

Foodblog-9280

Maze and I drove out to the Monticello Trail to meet our friends Sarah, her friend and Baby S for a walk. We covered 4 miles (first half all uphill!) and got in a great workout.

Foodblog--30

Our timing was great – M lasted the whole walk without a peep until we walked in the door and he was ready to eat. And right when he finished, I was hungry for my lunch!

Foodblog-9305

A No Bull Burger on a Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat roll with pickle, ketchup and mustard PLUS a slice of bacon!!!! Bacon cheeseburger minus the cheese.

Foodblog-9306

Squash + kale salad on the side. I’m enjoying my pre-cooked butternut squash so much!

Foodblog-9307

Foodblog-9303

Later on I had some Greek yogurt, cereal and a crumbled pumpkin ball for a late afternoon snack.

Foodblog-9309

And then headed out to book club!

Foodblog-9321

I didn’t get a chance to read the book, but I always enjoy the company of my literary friends.

M got to meet a doggie! And his friend Baby M, who was born a week and a half after he was! Hard to believe at my last book club Caroline and I were both pregnant!

Foodblog-9315

For dinner/snacks we had a delicious spread of chips, crudités, mini artichoke/spinach biscuits

Foodblog-9311

Plus rolls and this massive baked mac and cheese!!

Foodblog-9319

I think I ate my Mazen’s weight in small plates – two helpings of mac, lots of veggies, a roll, a biscuit and some chips

Foodblog-9318

Plus a slice of the Pumpkin Oh I brought!

Foodblog-9317

And then there was pie! A fruit tart from Trader Joe’s and a chocolate pecan pie too.

Foodblog-9320

Had slivers of them both.

Foodblog-9323

We came home to play with daddy in the mirror.

Wheee!

    Wow that Trader Joe’s tart looks amazing! I’m headed home for Thanksgiving break in St. Louis and have plans for a TJ’s run to get some goodies for the week. Might have to see if they have one of those tarts…

    What a perfect fall day! My kids and I just love cinnamon swirl bread. I never thought of making French toast with it. Genius!

    Great, now I need to go to the GH in the next town and get that cinnamon swirl bread. That stuff is ADDICTING so we try not to get it often but you said french toast so next week’s weight gain will be your fault. HA! 😉

    What a sweet lil nugget, so funny when they become self aware! You’ve got a cutie on your hands but you already know that.

    Ha ha I never read my book anymore for book club. That’s what my new web series Nice Girls Crew is about too! You can watch the first 3 episodes online now: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WTZd4GcEXTo

        This is one of my favourite books! Please promise me that you’ll read it as soon as you get the chance (which I understand might not be for awhile) 🙂

        That’s one of my favorite books too! I made my mom, dad, sister, and boyfriend all read it when I was done. And my dad made his best friend read it haha. It’s such an interesting take on a Holocaust book. It’s a bit long but it’s written at a reasonable reading level so it’s easy to plow through quickly. I know you’re busy right now so I’d only recommend the most worth while 😉

    Delicious food all around! I have had that Trader Joes tart and during the holidays it’s perfect to keep in the freezer in case you need a quick no fuss dessert. Mazen is getting more adorable every day! Love all those smiles.

    You have to savor those days when baby’s timing and your schedule completely jive!! It makes a momma feel like she’s got her act together and almost makes up for the days when the timing is completely whacked!

    Are Pumpkin Ohs common in all GH Bakeries? I am dying for one but not sure if ours make them. What a fun day for you and Maze!

    Have a good one!

    Ah, the infamous pumpkin roll… one of those foods that I can’t say no to! Since we don’t have a Great Harvest around here, I might have to try making one myself!

    Oh my! Those pictures of M & M <–teehee, with the mirror, reminded me of the all the little wonderful aspects of babyhood that one tends to forget about! My daughter is five now, and everyday is and adventure that I wouldn't change one challenging moment of. When I saw those photos though, they took me back! My husband and I used to love showing our daughter her reflection when she was nearer to Mazens' age, and watching as she would flap and chirp, bounce and squeal. Sorry for going on and on about nothing! If you can't tell, we have a dire case of baby fever going on over here!

    OK Love the men in the mirror! Glad you didn’t need the Bob on the trail, we (I) find it too heavy to maneuver in the car. And roasted squash and kale salad is my fav, only I add cheddar and almonds!

    I love the combo of kale and roasted squash, but I also like to add some tomato puree and cinnamon.

    My boyfriend routinely orders a veggie burger with bacon on top. He calls it “the hypocrite”. I’ve had bites and it is pretty excellent!
