Ok, I know it’s Monday, but it sure feels like a Sunday! Plus, pretty much everything I’ve done today has been your typical Sunday stuff: sleeping late, eating a pancake breakfast, cleaning the house, doing laundry, and getting ready for the work week. Don’t you think every weekend should be a 3-day weekend for just this reason? I always need a day to get my life back together after having fun all weekend!
Breakfast
I started my day with a batch of yummy pancakes with banana slices and Vermont maple syrup from Howmars Farm.
I topped my pancakes with plenty of maple syrup. Delicious! 😀
I also drank a glass of iced coffee with soy milk, but apparently, I never snapped a photo. Oh well. You’ve seen it before, right? 😉
Lunch
For lunch, I threw together a big salad topped with Athenos feta.
I also drizzled a little Creamy Asiago Cheese dressing on my salad. I don’t usually like salad dressing, but Mal has been raving about this one for about a week now. I’m glad that I gave it a try because it was awesome with the feta crumbles– cheesy, but light!
I’m heading out for a power walk next.
See ya! 😎

I agree, we all need that extra day to organize ourselves after a fun weekend. 😀 Now, to get the rest of the world to see it our way…hmm…
Your pancakes look delish! I’m currently *obsessed* with maple syrup. Yum!
That maple syrup tin is so funny.
I LOVE that maple syrup bottle/box! So cute!!
I think that the WORK week should be three days, the weekend four :p
I always wish I had an extra day just to do stuff! And that everyone else worked, so I wouldn’t miss out on anything fun. 🙂
Great way to start the week, right?! Ya gotta love a Monday that feels like a Sunday! Enjoy your walk this afternoon!
How did you get to become an Athenos blogger? mmm – feta! Enjoy your walk & Happy “Sunday”! =)
That maple syrup container is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Yum!
Pure maple syrup is best! I just drove through Vermont for the first time ever on vacation last week 😀
it’s a three-day weekend?! i had no idea because both my husband and i have very unconventional work schedules. no wonder it’s so empty around town!
It does feel like a Sunday … it’ll be like a Sunday at work, too (limited staff, shorter night). Have a great walk.
Oooh, fab eats today Tina! Glad you are enjoying your long weekend.
I for one would love it if I could have three day weekends every week!
That maple syrup bottle is so cool! x x
Real maple syrup is the best! Makes everything better.
the vermont syrup package is so so so cute!
I completely agree every weekend should be a three-day weekend. It is so nice having those days where you get so much accomplished!
I agree, today feels just like a Sunday and I’m treating it just like a Sunday. I’m getting a ton of stuff done.
It totally feels like a Sunday. Having a day off is awesome but it can really mess up your biological clock! 😛
I don’t typically use bottled dressings either, but sometimes it’s the only thing that’ll do. 🙂 That asiago one sounds really good!
That syrup container is so cute! Pancake syrup is one of the worst imitation foods of all time, in my opinion- nothing beats the real thing!
I’m definitely going to give the dressing a try. I’m not typically a dressing person but realized that when people come over they like something on their salads. 🙂
Good for you going out in this heat. Kork went outside for 2 minutes and was at the back door begging to come back in.
I’ve been using Annie’s Goddess Dressing because my Mom gave me a bottle (she didn’t like it) and I LOVE it! I’ll definitely buy it again, although it’s a bit high calorie for salad dressing 🙁
That maple syrup looks wonderful and the tin is too cute. I have never tried pure maple syrup, just use sf syrup occasionally. Today definitely feels like a Sunday. Like you, I am doing my Sunday ritual as well.
ooooh gotta love pancakes!!!! YUM!
Gotta love the Vermont maple syrup! I felt like today was very much like a Sunday too – no classes for me! Phew, the 3 day weekends make it hard to get back to work! But any excuse to have some pancakes is great 😉
YUM that dressing looks like it’s pretty tasty. I’ll have to try it out!
That maple syrup looks so good. 🙂
Enjoy your power walk.
I might have to take Mal’s advice and try that dressing. I have been super into Trader Joe’s goddess (like Annie’s but 1/2 the price), but next bottle it might be asiago cheese time!
Agreed on it DEFINITELY feeling like Sunday, and agreed on three day weekends needing to be the norm. I got SO much done today; I basically had two Sundays in one!
Nothing beats real maple syrup…. yummmmmmmmm!
That bottle is just too cute!
Yay for long weekends! Have a great walk!
Oh my goodness, maple syrup! I need to get me some of that real stuff ASAP. I want pancakes 🙁 A 3-day weekend is good, no? Too bad I’m in China and don’t get it 😉
Wei-Wei
All day today I’ve thought it was Sunday! But I do love having a three-day weekend. Makes the rest of the week nice and short. 😀
Maple syrup is one of the best things in the world… I’m so sad that I can’t fit it into my student budget right now! Woe is me…
My husband’s company did Friday off instead of Monday. It would have been so much better for it to be Monday! Then we could have actually stayed up to watch fireworks last night!
