6:30am- I wake up, do a 45 min leisurely workout on my ET while catching up on some TV-o, followed by a 20 min ab routine.
8am- Make coffee, get the paper, cut coupons while drinking cup of coffee number 1
8:30am- Toly comes downstairs and I start breakfast
9am- We eat a wonderful Sunday breakfast together while skimming through the classifieds.
This morning, it was waffles....
Mine was a Nature's Path Honey Oat waffle with honey okios, sauteed cinnamon apple, pecans, and a drizzle of honey almond butter. With a chicken apple sausage on the side. Heavenly!
Toly had two Strawberry Eggos, with banana/strawberry topping and bacon.9:30am- Clean up kitchen while belting out to the magical tunes of Neil Diamond, clean up self and move on to the next task of the day, which is usually grocery shopping.
12pm- Get home from shopping/errands, put everything away, prep dinners for the week and then make lunch.
Today it was leftover pizza from last night....
Mediterranean Veggie Pizza on my side, Turkey, Bacon, Pepperoni on Toly's.
The rest of the day is spent attempting to tune out the uproar of excitement/dismay coming from the vocalized screams of my enthusiastic husband. You see, Sunday's are intense here. Loud obscenities are shouted, pillows are thrown, hair is pulled, punches are made (into the couch)......
All for the passionate game of Football.
I did a good job of ignoring the chaos this afternoon. I spent hours in the kitchen getting things ready for a BIG food week. Not only is it Thanksgiving, but tonight, my BF, Jen is coming over for our Girls Night Pumpkin Dinner that we have been planning for months now.
I was in charge of the meal and she is the dessert master. Really guys, Jen is an incredible baker. I never turn down the opportunity to indulge in a Jen made baked delight.
The entire night is dedicated to one of our favorite veggies in the world....
Pumpkin!!!
Here is a sneak peak of the menu.....
Pumpkin Spinach Cranberry Risotto stuffed Acorn Squash
Autumn Salad
Maple Roasted Asparagus
I'm not sure what the Pumpkin dessert will be, but if Jen is making it, I know it will be out of this world.
Well, gotta get some wine chilling and ready for Girls Night.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! :)

oh my gosh! Your night sounds awesome! I am so jealous. And your Sundays (surprise surprise) sound exactly like ours :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, hiking is totally romantic. We had a blast.
I am really lame when we go out in terms of ordering. Ever since I went veg- I'm nervous that even the dishes I think are veg are not (i.e. I went out to lunch 2 weeks ago and almost ordered the vegetable soup....until I randomly asked if it was veg friendly- nope! made with beef broth!). I will try to be more adventurous this week, I promise ;)
