Waking Up to Bliss
I like cookies and cake. Alot. Travis is a pie person. And I like to bake (something about the precision of measuring ingredients and the magical transformation of dough into a finished baked product). I would bake cookies on a daily basis if I knew I would resist eating the whole batch. But I am not that strong-willed. In fact, today, we went on a bikeride just to get some cookies at the bakery. [Travis had installed a new bike seat on my bike for Miles...it was awesome. Freedom. With Finn and Lucy in the carriage behind us, it was a great feeling being able to bike around and have my kids with me.] So, anyways, I thought I would catalog what I ate yesterday. I am always interested in what other people eat, so maybe this will interest you too.
Breakfast 8:30 AM....oatmeal with soy milk (sometimes with crushed almonds or walnuts), an apple
10:30....chocolate protein powder drink
Lunch....Sauteed tempeh, mushrooms, onions and zucchini
Snack....3 PM {My new favorite treat} Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers with cream cheese frosting (I always have to have something sweet when I wake up from my short afternoon nap)
Dinner 5:30 PM....Salad: chickpeas, pinto beans, Parisian blend lettuce, salsa, ranch dressing, Roma tomato, cucumber, crushed whole grain Melba Toast
Snack 9 PM....True North peanut, almond and pecan clusters
I think the wafers would also be good with Nutella, or whipped cream and raspberries, or as a crust for an ice-cream pie. I even put peanut butter chips on them too. It's fun to discover a new treat. Any suggestions for my next new post-nap treat?

My husband loves marshamallow Fluff, and grew up eating Fluffernutter sandwiches (peanut butter and fluff). I don't like peanut butter on bread, but I love it on graham crackers. One graham cracker, broken in half, each topped with a layer of peanut butter and then a thin layer of Fluff is a super-easy, sweet and yummy (albeit messy) snack. Being that the sandwich is called a Fluffernutter, I call them Fluffercrackers.

you need to share your nap-taking secrets!!!!! i can't ever get a nap in...even if i have the quiet time to do it, i'm always afraid it will end too soon so i don't let myself sleep. I want to know i wont be interrupted for a good hour.....

Sarah, look at this post from Katie and the comments. I am too lazy/need to take care of the kids to make a link here.
