Pink is the New Orange

The first thing the BF said to me when he woke up this morning was “I want pancakes”.

So, pancakes I made.

For him I made traditional blueberry pancakes

Cooking up in the pan:

Plated with sliced bananas and a drizzle of agave. Ah, Beauty.

Too bad moments before I was done making the pancakes, BF announced he wasn’t feeling well.

Therefore, only 2 bites of these pancakes were consumed. Oh well. At least they looked pretty.

I was not going to let this spoil my pancake party, however!

I made myself some oatmeal blueberry pancakes.

The BF started to feel worse as the day went on, so I opted to stay home with him. We had a very low key day. But I didn’t mind.

I finally convinced him to get out of the apartment to accompany me grocery shopping to Whole Foods.

We picked up groceries for the week and I picked up some hot/cold bar for dinner.  And BF felt much better after getting some fresh air.

With dinner, we both drank Newman’s Own Virgin Lemonade. It was very muted, but I liked it.

I made the BF penne pasta with veggies and tomato sauce

My hot/cold bar (looks like falafel, artichoke hearts, veggies, lentils, heirloom beans …and a bunch of other stuff!)

For dessert BF picked up these little guys

My brothers are big fans of them and insisted we buy them when we went to Florida.

What are QB’s? They’re basically a frozen rice-crispy square with marshmallow and ice-cream inside.

What could be bad about that, right!

I pointed them out to BF when we were shopping and he decided to give them a try.  (I’ve never tried them)

He enjoyed :)

I might have to have a bite of em one of these days.

My dessert was a Cara Cara Pink Navel Orange

The Cara Cara is like a regular navel orange on the outside, but pink like a grapefruit on the inside! My kinda orange!
Cara Cara’s are sweet and less acidic then regular oranges.

Yeesh it’s late! But I’m not sleepy as I didn’t do too much all day.

But my Fitness Challenge officially starts tomorrow so I have to be on the ball! I’m not going to fall behind this time!!!

Hope you had a great weekend!

And a big congrats to those bloggers who ran the Disney Marathon today!!! So inspirational! :D

    JH: Naturally you suggest the green-colored drink (what was that sketchy green colored drink you drank before the indoor kiddie pool party that time??)
