Christmas is only a month away and this year and I started my shopping early. I have picked up a few things and gotten some stuff of my list already. I am not leaving anything to the last minute this year.
This morning I also made my baking list. On my list this year is:
- Cherry Almond Biscotti
- Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies
- Oreo Truffles
- Skor Bars
- Thumbprint Cookies
- Creamy Lemon Squares
I think that should be good. I might just also throw a batch of pecan tarts in there or maybe some shortbread. I am not sure. But I will start with that.
Next weekend I will get to putting up the tree and doing a little decorating! I just love Christmas. It just puts me a such a good mood!
This morning I slept in till 9:30 it was great…I was just wiped out! For breakfast today I made a yummy pancake.
One of my protein pancakes I just love them.
I topped it with Mighty Maple PB, banana and a little sugar-free syrup. Oh so good! Of course I shared a little with J. He always has to have what you are eating!
I also had a cup of Loose Leaf Spring Blend green tea. This stuff smells wonderful and tastes even better.
I ended up putting J down for a morning nap today. He has been pretty cranky the last few days and seems tired. Hmmmmm…maybe he is going through a growth spurt again?? Not sure..but anyway it gave me some time to just hang out and chill. I read a few blogs and did a little on-line Christmas shopping.
My lunch today was light. I was in a funny mood and not sure what I wanted really.
So I settled on an fried egg sandwich on sprouted grain and a small salad all on my snowman plate!
I was craving some mustard so on it went! It was pretty good actually. I also put a bit of aged white cheddar on too.
The salad consisted of baby greens, fresh from the market tomatoes and cucumber dressed with fresh lemon juice. Simple and refreshing!
All in all a very tasty lunch.
My afternoon was pretty tame actually. I took a shower around 2pm and then went out to get a few things.
Tonight for supper we went out as a family for some Vietnamese. This is something I had not had in quite awhile and was craving it. So we went to a restaurant in our neighbourhood.
J waiting for some num…nums!
Hubs ordered a Mango Bubble Tea. He shared a little with J of course.
We started out with a few salad rolls but I forgot to take a picture.
My main course was Lemon Grass Chicken Satay Vermicelli it was so yummy!
I ate pretty much all the good stuff off the top plus some of the noodles. I can never finish the whole thing it is huge!
The hubs had a beef satay soup. Nice and spicy the way he likes it and also some of it ended up on his shirt! It is quite messy to eat.
For J we got just a simple chicken, veggies and rice.
Not a very good picture but this was of course a lot for my little man but we took the leftovers home and I think I will be having some for lunch tomorrow.
J is now in bed and we picked up a new Mario Brothers game for the Wii tonight so we are going to get comfy and play. It has been awhile since I have played it should be fun.
So good night folks!
