All day yesterday, I had one thing on my mind…pancakes.
The night before, Jay and I decided that we’d make Tuesday night a breakfast for dinner night, because you guys know how I love my pancakes. So all day, I had pancakes on the brain; did I want them with chocolate chips? Bananas? Pumpkin?
The best part was, I wasn’t even going to be in charge of the cooking. Jay was going to take care of everything, using our favorite pancake recipe. So here I was, envisioning coming home, relaxing in my cozies, and just waiting for a nice big ‘ol stack of pancakes to be served to me.
Well wouldn’t you know it, Jay got called out for work and I didn’t get my pancakes. Gosh darn it. It was a total let down. I had been looking forward to them for over 24 hours, and then…nothing.
Since I hadn’t planned on doing any cooking last night, I really wasn’t about to, especially since it was only me I was feeding. So I put together a lame-o peanut butter, pumpkin, and banana sandwich instead.
The sandwich really wasn’t doin’ it for me so I decided to finish up with one last night that could hopefully salvage my evening…
A nice big ‘ol bowl of Cranberry Apple Crisp with light vanilla ice cream, caramel, and some Love Grown Foods granola. I suppose that if I couldn’t have pancakes, this was most definitely a suitable substitute.
And once Jay got home, he finished up the last of it. Yup, it took the two of us all of three days to polish that stuff off. We’re animals, I tell you. Animals!

Workout
This morning, I was literally *this close* to just shutting off the alarm and skipping my workout, but I knew I’d regret it later, so after the fourth slam of the snooze button, I finally rolled out of bed and headed down to the treadmill.
Today was devoted to cardio, and I ended up running a little over 4 miles by doing intervals of 5 minutes @ 7.0mph and 1 minute recover @ 4.5mph. Wooo Hooo for “long runs” of 4 miles!
Breakfast
Hey, guess what? I’m stuck on a new breakfast again. Oy vey.
This whole egg + cheese + raspberry jam on an English muffin is the real deal. I’m actually shocked at just how many days in the past couple of weeks I’ve incorporated eggs into what is usually a sweet breakfast for me. Either way, I’m rollin’ with it!
I also had a small banana,
and my inevitable mug-o-joe…with a side of the camera hog.
This morning I have a dentist appointment to go to (BLECH!) and then I’m headed to a long day of work. Wednesdays aren’t so bad though, since I get to hang out with mi madre for part of the day. 
Be on the lookout for a decadent recipe headed your way this afternoon…I may not have been in the mood to cook last night, but I was definitely in the mood to bake!
Here’s a little teaser for ya…
Any guesses?
Here’s a hint…pumpkin, caramel, chocolate.
Questions for the Morning:
WOULD YOU RATHER:
- Go to the dentist –OR- go to the doctor?
- Have one of your parents be your boss for work –OR- you be the boss of one of your parents at work?
- Eat cookies in cookie form –OR- eat cookies in bar form?

I’d way rather go to the doctor than the dentist!
As for a parent being my boss– my mom actually WAS my boss for 3 years! I hated it b/c people thought I got special treatment, when in fact I think she was harder on me than most. Calling in “sick” was the worst.. : “Why?? what’s wrong, you should come in any way, stop using up your sick time!”
Even funnier, she retired and came back as an hourly employee so technically I am above her now!
Annnd, cookies in bar form for sure!!
Now I want pancakes!!
I wish there was a button I could press and have that apple crisp come out of my printer ready to eat.
I absolutely hate the dentist and have yet to find a dentist I like. The last one I went to told me that she could use a laser to cut the underside of my tongue to increase my tongue movement. Needless to say I politely passed on that offer.
I like cookies in every form possible. Like there is anyone who would pass on a cookie because it wasn’t in the right form. And if there is, they are crazy!

Total bummer…. HATE when food is a let down, it doesn’t happen often but when it does, it is a bummer!
Go to the doctor for sure- Have one of my parents be my boss. I don’t want toboss my parents. They are too good for me and I know it!

Those bars look amazing! I cannot wait for you to post the recipe!
I’d rather go to the doctor. I absolutely despise the dentist with a passion! I hate going there.
I would rather be the boss of one of my parents.
I love cookies in any way shape or form.

I can’t wait for that bar recipe! It’s such a let down when you get all excited for a certain food and then don’t end up having it.
Good luck at the dentist, I’d rather go to the doctor any day than the dentist!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen recently posted..Reese’s has nothing on me
Dentist without doubt although doctors is usually cheaper
Be the boss of my parents – that would be really fun!!
Cookies in bar form. Because you totally swung it with that delicious photo right there

Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance recently posted..Conflicting Genres & October Favorites
I actually really enjoy going to the dentist, so I would rather go there than the doctor’s office, especially during that one fun time of the year. Not sure about the parents, but I sure do like cookies no matter what form they’re in
Lena @Fit on the Rocks recently posted..The Sunny Side of Things
That recipe looks sooo decadent!!
1. I would rather go to the dentist – I love getting my teeth cleaned!
2. I’ve worked with my dad. He wasn’t my boss per say but he was one of the managers in the office. I loved it- hello free lunches!
3. Cookies in cookie form! The real deal
I hate the dentist! I went last week and she was trying to give me a tutorial on how to bruch my teeth. Lady, I’m 24 – I have no cavities and my teeth are pretty white. Shut it.
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries recently posted..My Princess Boy
Here’s a hint for you – pumpkin, caramel, and chocolate. I am THERE! Have a great day!
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun recently posted..Concerned
Sorry to hear you did not get your pancakes
I cannot wait for your recipe later… I have been wanting to make something with pumpkin but have not found anything appealing yet
I would rather…
~go to the dentist – I love the feeling of cleaned teeth
~Have my parents be the boss
~Either form is good… The bars tend to be gooeier (sp?) in my opinion yum
-I’m really not a fan of any medical appointments, but I’d choose doctor if I had to pick one. Just the smell alone of the dentist office makes me nauseous.
-I’d rather my mom be my boss than be her boss….that’s an interesting question though!
-cookies in bar form.

And now I’m going to need pancakes for dinner STAT. I recently bought a waffle maker and have been going crazy with waffle overload, so now it’s time for pancakes! Hmmm…I actually like going the dentist so I’ll pick that! My teeth magically grew perfectly straight and they’re the favorite part of my body!
I’d rather my dad be my boss. He owns his own barbershop {has since 1955 actually!} and it’s a fun place. Just like the Barbershop movies!! I won’t turn down a cookie in any form, but I’ll go with just the standard. Although those bars look awesome!

Dentist, me be the boss, cookie in cookie form (I think)
Tonight my hubby and I are having date night and are going to our fave diner where they currently have *carrot cake* pancakes — you better believe I’m getting those!
Shanna, Like Banana recently posted..WIAW: everything I ate
Ugh. I am so sorry you didn’t get your pancakes.
I LOVE my dentist so I would rather see him any day; although, my doctor isn’t all that bad either!
I would rather have a parent as a boss.
And, I prefer large cookies … I don’t care much about bar or otherwise… (bigger is definitely better here).
Care @HealthierGirl recently posted..Back At It
Mmmm looking forward to your recipe, it sounds amazing!
I’d rather:
-Go to the dentist over the doctor. I surprisingly don’t mind the dentist.
-Have my parents be the boss of me. I think it’d too awkward if I was the boss of my parents.
-Eat cookies in bar form. Bars are usually thicker and chewier!
Ashley @ My Food ‘N’ Fitness Diaries recently posted..November Goals
Definately the Doctor for me. Although I have never had a cavity I just don’t like the dentist!
I would definately love to be my parents boss!
Cookie form for me please : )

I have a dentist appointment today too! Yuuuuuk! I hate the sound of that drill thingy they put in your mouth. And why do dentists always talk to you when they have their hands in your mouth? Do they really expect me to answer with my mouth full of fingers?!

dentists and lady doctors are my least favorite things ever. I really don’t want staring at any of my orifices that long.

UGH, I’d prefer the doctor any day.
and obviously, since they were MY boss for so many years, I’d love to be one of my parents’ bosses at work.
..and hmm.. I’m in the mood to take my cookies in bar form after seeing that picture. gimme!
Alyssa @ Life of bLyss recently posted..Scrappy Marathoner
Ooohhh post that recipe now!!!!!!! It looks amazing!! Totally with you on not liking the dentist. It makes my mouth hurt and the dentist always tries to talk to me–which is very awkward when your mouth is pulled this and that way. Not fun.

I actually don’t mind the doctor when the wait isn’t bad, but I HATE the dentist! I’d always rather be the boss and I like cookies more often than not in cookie form. Whatever you made looks delicious!

Aren’t cookies supposed to look like them? However, I do love bar form as well. It doesn’t matter.
Dentist(I hate shots). Parent as the boss. Cookie form

Jodi recently posted..Back in the Saddle
Aw hope you can reschedule your pancake dinner date soon! I’d rather go to the doctor anyday-I find it oddly relaxing in a way. Oddly, one of my parents IS kind of my boss. I’d rather it be that way than the other way around though.
