Settling In

Happy Monday friends!

I hope all the Moms out there had a fantastic Mother's Day yesterday, surrounded by the ones you love. 

We went to brunch with the family and it was so nice to have both of our Moms here this year! 

Afterward, Patrick and I took an epic 3.5 hour nap, went for a walk and have just been hanging out.  I love seeing this face every morning. :-)

I'm even enjoying his kitchen disasters haha.

He wanted to make fresh orange juice for me yesterday to go with breakfast....its the thought that counts right?  It was still delish!

Last night, I was watching last week's episode of Grey's and the cafeteria scene gave me a random hankering for pasta.  We didn't have any in the house so Patrick got to do his first late-night pregnancy craving food run....pizza and pasta at 1030pm.  I pretty much ate my body weight in angel hair, plus a piece of this delicious creation that he ordered:

How I was even hungry this morning when I woke up at 7am I will never know, but the appetite is definitely ramped up today.  Does anyone know if that's a sign of impending labor?!

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!  I'm testing out a new dessert recipe tomorrow morning, so I'll let you know how it goes. ;-)

Pancake Tacos

Morning friends! It’s a little dreary over here and I actually didn't have to set an alarm this morning…so I slept in and did brunch instead of breakfast.  J My sleeping in *may* have had something to do with a certain baby keeping me up from 4-5am kicking and streeeeetching.  Weirdest. Feeling. Ever.  I could feel the baby’s feet on one side and head on the other and it just kept pushing out in both directions.  I'll be curious to see if this baby is equally as energetic on the outside!

Last night after work, I went out with two lovely ladies for a snack.  One of them, Frances, has a blog where she reviews food trucks here in LA.  She’s a total foodie and I love it.  Last night, she was talking about a particular truck called Egg Slut and their delicious Pancake Tacos.  You know when the syrup from your pancakes hits your scrambled eggs and it’s delicious?  Ummm, yes please.    I decided to make my own (slightly healthier) version this morning.  I used Fitnessista’s Protein Pancakes, whipped up 2 scrambled eggs, crisped some Morning Star vegan bacon (aka facon) and drizzled everything with a little maple syrup.  Consume in taco form.

UHmazing.  If you want the real version or any one of Egg Slut’s other delicious creations, you can find out where they’ll be here.

LA residents: do you have a favorite food truck?  They are becoming really popular.  Here are some good ones:

Lobsta Truck

Juice on the Loose

Great Balls on Tires

Green Truck

Non-LA Residents: what is your favorite brunch food?  This one might become a regular in the Anderson house.

Hope you guys have a terrific Tuesday!  My Mom flies in tomorrow and she’ll be here for 3 months!! J  <3 Shaina
