I need a brain break!

Yes, I need a brain break. You know one of those days or weeks that you think about nothing. Do those even exist when you're an adult? Do you ever get the chance to just not care about anything for a day? I know the kids are suffering from it pretty bad too since they lost all of their holidays to make up days from the winter storm we had here...I won't even get in to how over worked the illustrator is right now. The man is a saint for all he does for us.

So, today is all about the little joys for me...


I realize the holidays are long gone, but I just found this Nutcraker Tea and OH MY GOSH...it is so good!


left over pizza means I don't have to cook tonight...


Bob's Red Mill gluten free pizza crust is insanely good!


The boys have leftover pizza too (bacon and cheese) with a gluten free crust recipe I will be sharing soon!


I am enjoying these little bottles of Pom Wonderful since the nice folks sent them to me to sample! YUM! I have never had the juice before and it is so good! Sweet, tart and refreshing!


Which inspired the creation of orange honey cream ice cream with a pomegranate swirl (I promise to post this soon)...


I am so ready for spring break for the boys. I think we are going to hang out with family and try to relax some. I hate wishing time away, but I'd be alright if it got here just a little faster.

Are you enjoying any little things right now? Do you need a brain break?

    Finally allowing myself to have a brain break while still working hard on my schoolwork and dance - it's a beautiful thing :)

    I got a case of Pom too! What a good way to use it :)

    I have made a vinaigrette with is...mmmm.

    I thought I would have a brain break this week, since I'm on spring break from 2 of 7 classes I teach. And now it's Wednesday and I still have a million things to do. I hope on Saturday I'll get a brain break! I'd also go for some pizza :)

    Ugh, I was JUST thinking the exact same thing today. And I definitely consider myself underworked, if anything, not over :P I just need a break from SCHOOL! I have no end in sight until May :[ Not even a spring break.
    Anyways. I'm done having a pity-party in your comments section :P I love the little joys in this post. The ice cream looks fabulous, and that tea! I've never seen that kind before, but I am loving Celestial's blueberry tea. See, I'm just craving summer, really :P
    [p.s. i just bought sorghum flour!! i know, i know. i have a problem. but it seems to be used a lot in GF baking so i'm going to go stalk your recipes and see what i can learn about it!]

    oh, I'm so there with you. My brain is toast. Of course, at least it's gluten free toast! haha.

    Take some deep breaths -- the weekend will be here soon. Hopefully your brain and you start to feel better soon!

    On the edge of my seat waiting for that ice cream recipe! Looks delicious as always :-)

    I love pretty much all of the Celestial Seasonings teas and that looks like a goooood one.

    P.S. I never would have thought to put my dry muffins on oatmeal but I LOVE that idea haha I am glad you liked my recipe. Thanks for your sweet comment!

    I'm on Spring break right now (I'm a teacher). I'm having my brain break. It makes me sad that it's almost over!

    I drink the holiday teas all year round!

    I've never tried that tea and I love that brand! Okay, your pizza looks to die for. Is that the gluten-free one?
