I love Saturdays! Even though I start the day by getting up at 3am and heading off to work.
Today's Productivity!
Work: I organized the back room shelfs and made room for all the stuff coming on Wednesday. I also helped serve customers with my awesome coworkers.
Home: Got home and took a 3 hour nap. Woke up and started my day all over again.
Craft Projects: Samuel loves to color, paint, glue, or anything else artsy. So I got out the green construction paper, green paint, scissors, glue, green markers, and pulled up some cute projects in Pinterest.
We started by cutting out clover leaves and gluing them on paper. Samuel hung his finished project on his bedroom door. Moved on to trying to make our own window clings out of glue and food coloring. We'll have to attempt that one again as ours still isn't dry and it ran. By tomorrow it should be a nice green blog window cling.
Then it was time to paint. Samuel loves to paint whether with his fingers or a paint brush. He covered a large sheet of paper with some handprints and splotches. Tomorrow I'll cut it up and make some more clovers.
After painting he was done and decided to spend time with daddy. Charlotte chose this time to take a nap! Her and napping have not had a good relationship lately but the last 3 days she has taken a nap for at least an hour. Today she even took it in her own bed!
With Charlotte napping I sprung into action: Baking and Cooking! I love hanging out in my kitchen. Today I started with Vegan Samoas from Pursuit of Hippieness.
They turned out yummy. I altered the recipe a bit by using almond meal instead of oat flour and made 'magic shell' to dip them in.
While the last batch was baking it was time to prep mini quiches. By this point I was wearing Charlotte, which made things a little more difficult. The hardest thing about babywearing and baking is getting stuff out of the oven without burning myself.
I love mini quiches, I freeze them and use them for a healthy, quick breakfast. Somewhere on Pinterest I saw the idea of using grated parmesan for a 'shell.' So I start by spraying my mini muffing pan and putting some parmesan in the bottom of each muffin cup. Then I cut up some ham or whatever meat I have in the fridge. To cram some veggies in with breakfast I chop up a cup of broccoli in my chopper. Then add 3-4 eggs to the chopped broccoli, mix it up and pour into the muffin cups. Bake for 20min at 375.
Next up Spinach Parmesan Cakes. These turned out delicious and will be another great breakfast snack.
Then it was time for my new favorite food, Baked Butternut Squash fries from Can you stay for Dinner? These are so yummy and you'll think potato fries are bland after tasting them. I cut up the entire squash and toss the fries in a large ziploc with some olive oil, salt and garlic powder. Shake it all up and bake according to the directions. Whatever I don't make stays in the bag and goes in the fridge. The first time I got three dinner sides out of one squash.
And look I even got a blog post up. My kitchen is clean, Samuel is asleep and Tyrone is giving Charlotte a bath. What a great day!
