Day of Rest

Thursday's & Sunday's - are my days of rest.  On my current schedule.  Thursday becomes cleaning day and Sunday is just a good ol' day of rest!  Today began as a productive sort of day, cleaning the guest bathroom that more closely resembled a boy's dorm room than it does our guest room.  I had some laundry going when I saw a missed call from Palisades Elementary.  Then the phone rings and I see it's Brad.  He informs me that Kaden is coming home - that he threw up and the school policy is that he has to go home for at least 24 hours.  We all tried explaining that it was because he ate 6 cups of watermelon for breakfast, but they didn't want to hear it.  (Kaden has begun a petition at school to get chocolate milk back in the cafeteria, so I know that for once he actually did not want to stay home sick from school.)  More on that nutritional piece later...  


Today's rest was much needed as my knees were saying "enough" AND my Aunt "Flo" is coming to town any day now.  This also means I've been consuming more chocolate than I'd like to admit.  But I will admit to juicing today and making the very BEST vegan burgers I've ever had.  OMG.  The kids scarfed them down to which Kacie's response was "delicious."  





It blows my mind how easy  vegan food is to prepare.  Put all ingredients into food processor - blend - shape into patties & bake for 15 minutes, turning once.  How easy is that?  It has occurred to me that I should be posting my recipes too because they actually do taste great and I've been cooking directly from blogs for years.  Quick and Easy are two words I like to hear on Thursday's for dinner.  Brad doesn't come home until late which means I get to cook WHATEVER I want so it's a good day to try new recipes.  So stokked that this one turned out amazing!
