Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday! I’m still a bit congested, but feeling a lot better than I have been for the last few days. I was glad I had another dentist appointment in the morning, so I was already planning on staying home for the day. Let’s get the show on the road!
Breakfast 7:00 AM
Return of the pancakes made with almond flour! On Monday I got a really nice package from the Almond Board of California full of blanched almonds, almond flour, and individual servings of raw almonds. I was so excited because my almond flour had been out for a few weeks and I was on the verge of buying more!
I also drank a huge glass of orange juice. Orange juice typically turns me off, but yesterday it sounded so good. Don’t tell the Husband I drank some.
After breakfast I took Charlie for a walk, and then it was time for me to go to the dentist. Another tooth drilled = no fun. When I left the dentist, I stopped by Starbuck’s for a mid morning snack around 11:00 because I was already hungry and couldn’t chew for a few hours because my mouth was numb. I stopped by my sister’s house so my mom could cut my hair and I could play with the baby.
When I got home, I got to work outside — stopping, of course, every five minutes to blow my nose. I weeded half of my garden (it took over an hour!), and then planted some vegetables.
Charlie and I enjoyed the 80 degree sunshine!
I was famished by the time my mouth was not numb anymore. I put together a mock Chipotle bowl and was eating when my brother stopped over to visit. We talked for a while, and then he helped me weed the rest of my garden — score!
Snack/Dinner? 5:00 PM
I had to babysit last night, so before I left I drank another glass of orange juice (the Husband is going to be angry when he reads this — ha!) and I ate two pieces of the cinnamon chip bread from Great Harvest — one slice with almond butter and one slice with coconut oil + sea salt (best combo ever.).
When I got home around 10:30, I ate another piece of bread and some chips + hummus.
Such a balanced day… I’m eating more vegetables today.

Hope you feel better soon! You’re snack dinner sounds amazing, especially the piece of toast with almond butter
!

Cinnamon chip bread with coconut oil and sea salt?! Sounds amazing, but I’d never come up with that idea!
Hope you’re feeling even better today! and hey, you ate that salad - tons of veggies in there! Glad you got to enjoy the good weather!
I’m glad you’re feeling better! I’m loving this warm weather too!
So envious you have a garden!! And sea salt and coconut oil combo sounds amazing!!
Being sick is the worst! But at least you’re getting it out of your system now before Summer gets into full swing!
OJ sounds so good to me right now…..
Hope you feel better soon! And don’t worry, balanced eating is for days where you’re feeling good. Sick days call for eating whatever you feel like!
I’m dog-napping Charlie.
Hope you start feeling better! I always drink so much OJ when I am sick.
Isn’t it the best feeling int the world to get the plants in the ground?! …I could hear my husband saying something if I drank all of his milk (it’s like his O J) . Then, I could hear me saying ‘I’m pretty sure they have more at the store. Don’t ya think?’ ….Take care!
good thing your feeling better, whenever im sick all i want is OJ otherwise i never want it, it just feels refreshing!
what are you planting this year? i need to get to it! Way too late to plant leafy greens now.
i’m glad you’re feeling better today! those sniffles are never fun. weeds are popping up like crazy over here because of the nice weather we’ve been having. i swear every time i turn around they grow right back! glad you had some time to enjoy yourself yesterday!
Those pancakes look delicious. A sweet smelling pastry type smell also wafted into my office at the same time I was looking at that picture, so I felt like I could smell them! Perhaps someone in my office brought in treats? Off to investigate…
Those pancakes look perfect and what nice weather you guys are having. Hope you’re enjoying it to the max!
I’m glad you’re feeling better!
This post reminded me that I need to get cracking on planning my garden. I keep putting it off because I can’t decide on what I want to plant!
How perfect that you had already planned to stay home that way you got another day of rest! Those pancakes look delicious! I have some almond meal at home that is just waiting to be used up… now I know where it’s going!
Hi! I’m curious what you eat at starbucks for your snack, I just did a gluten free diet for a month (and I’m vegetarian also) and found when I went to starbucks I would usually get a soy coffee misto to tie me over because I don’t really eat dairy either and they didn’t always have fruit and stuff
.
I’m guessing the OJ is typically your husband’s?
My husband just loovves when I eat his Life cereal haha!
I love bread with coconut oil and sea salt! SO tasty! And also coconut butter and sea salt is another great combo. Clearly I like coconut
Sounds like you’re having some allergy issues too! It’s horrible I know
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to try almond flour in baking. I suspect I’ll like the texture! Your pancakes look perfect
Glad you are feeling more chipper today! Your almond flour pancakes look TASTY… that was a nice package surprise.
Almond flour pancakes are my absolute favourite - I reckon they could make me feel better any day of the week lol!
Hope you feel better
hope you’re getting some rest and feeling better! oj and cinnamon chip bread sounds like the perfect remedy to me
xoxoxo
YAY for pancakes! I actually had pancakes this morning too, and they totally made my day INCREDIBLE!
The annual glass of orange juice (with extra extra pulp) is totally delicious!
Charlie’s such a pretty dog, love it!
I’m not big on OJ, usually, either. However, when I was pregnant, I remember it always sounded good! So weird!
Your veggies look beautiful!
