oatmeal pancakes

miss me?! i know, i've been MIA for a whole entire week (maybe more..), but i was without camera and inspiration.  sorry about that. but i'm back and full of fun stuff for ya.  this post isn't even actually my idea, but it's a great one.  and her blog is even more great.  this pancake is seriously hearty and seriously delicious.  this post has been in my drafts for like a month, no clue why i waited so long.  without further ado --     i had a few very ripe bananas and they needed a use.  banana bread was going to happen after work.  until i got my daily email from the kath eats real food blog and saw this.  it was fate.  not only are they super healthy and nutrient packed, but they're good.  and easy.  i made them again and let them sit overnight so my "batter" would be ready in the a.m.    

go check out her amazing blog and then go make an oatmeal pancake.

 

oh yeah, and i haven't eaten any meat in a week, so be prepared for some totally delicious meat-free recipes in the near future!

   

weekend wrap up

there's not too much to wrap up. so i'll include thursday in the wrap up since it was trick or treat and all. got tons of candy, max had a blast, ran around like a crazy person. it was pretty fun!  

my little monster & his cousins, tinkerbell and lion.

friday night we went to hersheypark in the dark - fun times!

we ate way too much fried junk, rode some rides, then called it a night.

saturday we ran errands, which was fun b/c everyone in the area was out at the stores stocking up for the big storm.  i, on the other hand just had to do my normal weekly grocery shopping, which ended in chaos.  we hung out, then watched football at my parent's house.

today we pretty much just prepared for the storm - put all of our outside stuff in the shed, did all the laundry & cleaning, hoarded ice, flashlights, candles and batteries.  so we're all ready for hurricane sandy to show her ugly face.  the worst that will happen to us will most likely be power outages, but we've already received a call from our electricity provider stating that if the power goes out it could be out for up to a week or more.  ugh, not fun.  but we've got candles, water, food and wine.  we'll survive :)

 

whaaa?

i know today is normally fashion friday, but that had to wait. how on god's green earth did axl rose go from   this:     bad ass, rocker of the late 80's/early 90's.  i was crushin' on him hard core, especially when the november rain video (yes kids, as in a music video, MTV actually used to air these!) first came about.  i mean honestly, he was bad ass back then.  back then.  now let's fast forward to present day.  if anyone has a queasy stomach or just doesn't want to face the facts about their beloved kiddie crush - please do not read on.        axl rose now: ermergahrd.  what the flip happened in the past 25 years?!?!?!  i mean, i understand people age, and their looks change, but this?  now that my childhood dreams have been crushed, have a happy friday!
