Girls Night In + Pancakes

So glad it’s the weekend :)

I was so confused when I woke up this morning. I kept thinking it was Friday and that I overslept and never turned on my alarm clock!

Maggie, Roxy, and I had a girls night last night, and it was a great way to end the week.

Nick was doing sound at a concert last night, so I came home to hang out with Maggie while he was gone.

I heated up the last of the meatballs for dinner and had them on a small sweet potato.

Marinara on sweet potatoes is awesome! I need to remember this combination.

Maggie and I played after eating dinner and then watched What Not to Wear and Food Revolution before falling asleep on the floor :) She may be crazy sometimes, but Maggie is a good cuddler.

Once Nick got home, I got out my sourdough starter to feed it so we could have pancakes today!

It’s been a while since we’ve had the time to make pancakes, so I was more than ready for this breakfast.

Coffee – check.

Sourdough pancakes with maple syrup – check.

Cara cara orange – check. (Definitely past their season, though. I’m ready for berries!).

Unpictured bacon – check.

We just finished eating breakfast and I’m about to mix up some pizza dough for lunch with friends before we go out on an easy hike today with our dogs. Should be fun!

Nick has to head into the lab today before they  come over, so I’ve got to get this dough ready and clean up a bit before they get here.

 

Any fun plans today?
