WIAW - Surviving the flu

I fought the flu... and the flu won. Yup... just like everyone around me at the moment - I am out of action. I am using up way too many tissues and being way too miserable. 

Lucky I had this to cheer my morning up.


These Banana S'more Protein Pancakes - these were good, these were healthy and they were full of chocolate! I am usually more of a savory girl but Heather's sweet pancakes could make me change my tune. I topped my pancakes with sliced banana, chocolate chips, her chocolate sauce (maple syrup and cocoa powder) and some dried acai berries. Nom Nom Nom.


Lunch was pretty special too - I kept it pretty simple and comforting. Wholegrain English muffin with cranberry jam (leftover from Christmas), sliced chicken boob and cheese - grilled, melty and perfect mix of sweet and savory. Oh.. and a little salad on the side for veggies sake.


I continued my salad trend for dinner (salad leaf, tomato, radish, sprouts and sliced olives dressed with apple cider vinegar and evoo) I also stuffed a slow cooked sweet spud with chicken, salsa, greek yoghurt, shallot and melted cheese. Easy and delicious. 

So what have I been doing in my semi-comatose state? Devouring this book...

I have just entered part two of the book and it is getting juicy! I can't to find out what happens at the end but from the reviews I have heard it is going to be pretty twisted and unexpected. I am already trying to guess and I could help but do a little googling and I found this <- a movie in the works! Yay! I know the movies are never as good as the book but I am still pumped I love seeing how the adaptions compare to the characters as I have developed them in my head. 

Happy WIAW guys!

  8. That English muffin combo sounds very interesting. Fruit, chicken and cheese? I bet it's pretty good though.

  17. Gorgeous photos!! Hope you kick the flu soon. Luckily it's not over here in NZ at the moment and by the time I get back to Canada it's hopefully passed by and I can skip it altogether! I am really wanting to read Gone Girl...in fact I'm requesting it from the library right now :)

  23. Oh yay! I'm SO glad you liked the pancakes! They look like they came out great...and love the pop of color from the berries! I am also in LOVE with your sweet/savory lunch! Cheese and jam is one of my favorite combos but it's been far too long since I've done it...that needs to change VERY soon!

    Hope you're feeling better now! It seems like everyone was getting sick last week! :(
