Well I did go visit my parents and boy did I get a lot accomplished but not everything.. typical! There is always so much to do and not enough time. I guess that is life and that is why you must prioritize.
So I drove down on Wednesday evening to spend a few hours talking with my dad. Before I got to the house I dropped by the grocery to get a few things for baking cookies... more on that later.
I got to the house dropped off my stuff and went looking for some dinner. I thought about picking something up on the road but knew that there was plenty of food there. (That is an understatment) My mom stockpiles like the stores are going out of business and no more will open for a year! Anyways after finding soup, cheese stick and some extra meat I cooked up my food and ate it while Dad talked. After eatting, Val called the house and was talking to Dad for a while. I took this opportunity to try out a new recipe. I made these protien balls from bodyrock.tv. They were AMAZING!!!!! I have really come to like her webpage and found some good workouts and food options there. (not getting paid to advertise) My dad made a comment about how what I was making looked good... until I added coconut! He hates coconut. So the protien balls had 1 1/2 cups pb, 1 cup vanilla protien, some nuts, coconut, and a bit of chocolate.
After he got off the phone I proceeded to chat with him while I cleaned out my parents kitchen pantry. I only got 1/5 of the way through. I found items that needed to be thrown out and helped them along into the trash. I hope to go back and do the same thing closer to Christmas. I love to organize other people's stuff. I also like to throw out stuff. I don't find any need for holding onto items for an extended period of time if there is not use.
Anyways... It turned out to be almost midnight! I had to get to bed!
The next day I woke up at 9am! I havnt slept that late in forever!!! Mom got up at 930 and we took the dogs for a walk.
Before the walk I had planned to try out this new recipe for homemade pancakes.... I took out the cottage cheese and guess what... MOLD! Yuck totally gross! I just picked up the cottage cheese last night at the store. ahhhh. Plan B was to use milk. So I made pancakes with milk, whole wheat flour, some protien, egg, etc. They turned out super good. Especially when paired with peanut butter. :) Ill try the new recipe some other time I guess.
My parents just got this one dog, Zoe. She is half beagle half black lab and is very cute. She calms Shadow down a lot. He is half black lab half who knows what (but something very thing) She pulled the whole three miles we were on a walk. I am curious as to how long she will run for. I may try that out during Christmas but I guess we will see how much time I have.
Anyways, after the walk we went to lunch and then to Target, Trader Joes, Harris Teeter, and then ANOTHER Target. By the time we got home, it was already 430 and I had to get back on the road to get home myself. Boooo!!! No time for cookies!
So on the road I went back home. It was a super nice visit and Ill see them in no time.
