Online Shopping

Yesterday was another gorgeous, hot, sticky day outside.  Its funny, because usually I absolutely love the hot and humid weather, but the past two days I just couldn't handle it.  Being pregnant really changes your body, but of course we all know that.  In fact, I'm sitting here sweating right now typing on my blog! I left work yesterday on my lunch and actually ran to Target to try and find inexpensive summer maternity clothes.  I came back with one pair of black Capri's, which I will probably wear every day of my life now that its hot out.

The hubster and I are working in the same school again today, which I love.  He already brought me an iced coffee and a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich from Stewart's.   For breakfast this morning I also made myself a nice egg sandwich, complete with spinach, mustard, and chia seeds. (Yes, yes. yes... I already had two breakfast sandwiches.  A girls gotta eat...)
My friend Katie ordered things from www.iherb.com, so I got jealous and ordered things too! I ordered my mother and I each a bag of Chia seeds, and I also ordered 3 packs of Seaweed snacks. 



Okay, so I have read a ton about Chia seeds and the health benefits, and how everyone loves them... and couldn't find them in stores, so I did order them online.  If you know me... you know I never order things online.  While I was there I saw seaweed snacks.  Now, I love seaweed.  I love it in sushi and I absolutely looooove seaweed salad, so I thought Id give these a shot.  Pete looked at me like I was crazy but then tried one and declared he did like them.  He's not going to open the cabinet to eat them or anything, but I promise you they are really good, high in vitamins, and low calorie.  Very low calorie.  And salty, and I loooove salty foods!

Enough about my weird food discoveries, last nights dinner was made specifically with my husband in mind.  Mikayla went out with her father to a movie and Pete was...doing guy things... so I had time to myself.  I cooked.  I made Pete chicken, because he likes chicken and I just rarely make it.  I defrosted about a lb of drumsticks and decided to bake them.  First, I dredged them in flour
Another healthy purchase
then egg and then a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, parm cheese, parsley and garlic salt.
I then put them on a rack and baked them on 400 for about 25 mins.
On the side I roasted a ton of cauliflower, and green beans mixed with roasted garlic leftover from Easter dinner.
I also made a side of this rice, which was pretty good.
This was totally made for the hubby to enjoy, I only had one piece of chicken and lots of veggies.  I was still so hungry after dinner that I indulged in some Coffee ice cream with sprinkles.  I was going to blog this last night on my free time, but Pocket was sleeping on the laptop and she was just too cute to move

I know you probably cant see that photo, but I didn't want the flash to wake her.  (Yes, she is my baby!). I am driving to my parents house after work today, hopefully eating something delicious for dinner, then coming home.  I cant believe it almost Friday already! This week went by super fast... I'm sure the baby countdown helps that out.
