Easy Eats For Others...

I started this morning off bright and early with a great workout! I did my kickboxing and some killer Core Fusion for my thighs. This is the point where I realized something...I have successfully caught the stomach bug the boys had. Lucky me. I know you are all jealous. I have not felt like eating anything fun today. However, I have made some good stuff for the boys, so I figured I would share a couple of those eats with you...

They wanted pancakes, so that was easy! I used my easy pancake recipe...I don't think I will ever buy a mix again. These are just too simple and with no chemicals.


I am absolutely making these when I feel better!


Chicken pot pie was the order for tonight with all the leftovers from last night.


Because I made it with leftovers, it came together in 10 minutes! I will share my method with you tomorrow since it is more of a method than a recipe. It is great to use things that are already made and change them up (or stretch them out to save some money) for the next meal.


I am not complaining that we have all been a little sick lately because I would rather have the funky little stomach bug than a cold or the flu. I am just ready for feel good weather and some energy. Oh well, just a couple more months to go. It could always be worse. 

Here's a question for you...would you rather have a cold or a minor stomach bug?

    Oh no, I 'm so sorry you got sick :( The stomach flu is the worst! I'd much rather have a cold.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    Feel better!

    yes, after making my own pancakes enough, I don't ever want any of the preservative filled store mixes (well, most of them have preservatives)...and I even make it gluten free! It's a lot cheaper, too. Yours look yummy!

    Oh no, not good. I think I'd take the cold b/c I HATE to throw up. I'll do just about anything to not have to throw up. Hugs sweetie.

    I'm with the other commenters. I'll take a runny nose and cough any day over a hurting tummy. I despise feeling nauseous.

    Hope you get to feeling better soon!

    I'm not sure which I'd rather be stuck with! I initially thought I'd way rather have a cold, but then there's the fact that stomach bugs are usually over wayyy quicker, and a runny nose from a cold drags on and on!
    I hope you feel better soon, though! So sweet of you to make such delicious eats while not feeling so hot :)

    I'd take the cold so I can still eat something! Stomach bugs stink!

    Sorry you are not feeling well. I think I would take a cold, having the stomach upset is never very fun for me, LOL

    I have a really finicky stomach, so I often have stomach aches, I'd take a cold ANY day over throwing up.

    eek.

    I really hate both. On the one hand, I can't take ANYTHING when I have a cold or flu because I'm sensitive to the stuff in it so I end up speeding about and hallucinating (not in a good way, although written down it does sound kind of fun if you're into that kind of thing I guess :P), on the other hand with my IBS ALWAYS giving me problems, I'd really rather not upset the balance at all and it always takes me 10 times longer than it should to even start feeling about as human as I ever manage to feel again.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    So sorry you're not feeling well, Sarena. I would most definitely rather have a cold. I'm such a wimp about stomach bugs. I hate them. I hope today is a better day!

    I'm going to have to give your mix a try, those pancakes look so fluffy! I have to admit, I usually default to the box because I've had a lot of home made pancake recipes that taste like bricks!
