I just got back from my parents house, where I did nothing but sleep and eat for the last twenty-four hours.

Growing little Baby Cakes is taking a lot of energy, and week particularly drained me. So my parents’ house was the perfect place to relax and be waited on hand and foot. I got there around 7pm last night, and my Daddy had cooked up a spectacular dinner.

Roasted veggies on top of rice with fruit salad on the side
I slept for a good 10 hours, and then dragged myself out of bed to eat more (I feel a little like a hibernating bear). While I was waking-up/sitting on the couch chatting with my mom – my dad brought us a little grapefruit appetizer to start with.

Then he came out with the full breakfast about twenty minutes later…

Blackberry pancakes and scrambled eggies.
I think I might have to make this a regular weekend getaway.



Awww it is so nice to be with parents sometimes, isn’t it?! Your dad sounds like an amazing cook
OOOH those pancakes and eggs look to-die-for delicious. Yum!
Came across you on foodpress. I’ve read through your recent posts and can’t help but laugh because I’m 31 weeks preggo and Gala apples and oatmeal/cream of wheat are HUGE staples! I will have to throw together some of your great looking oatmeal, I’ve never added an egg white.
Enjoy every bit of rest and sleep you can!
