Yummies

I started out yesterday up at 6:30am when our phone rang!  It was the GE guy coming out to fix our fridge.  They told us he’d be over between 8-12 but in reality, he wound up here at 7!  Long story short, I didn’t get to go to my spin class, but it was ok because I knew my favorite teacher wouldn’t be there anyway… so instead, I worked on some school work and had a yummy oatbran breakfast topped with flax & pb2.

I wound up going for a quick 30 minute walk because it was in the high 80′s outside!  Isn’t that crazy?  It’s only April!  Then, I did some gardening before quickly showering and getting ready to go to my parents’ house.  I had a quick lunch of Stonyfield strawberry yogurt with defrosted strawberries and sunflower seeds.

We headed off to my parents house since my cousins came up to visit for the day.  Bill and I got a workout in because we played with the kids non-stop outside!  Here’s my plate full of yummies:

  • turkey hoagie (took off the cheese) with added sweet peppers & spicy mustard
  • pickles!
  • broccoli salad

I made a garden salad for everyone tossed in a homemade mustard vinaigrette

We had dessert a couple hours later which was my grandmom’s orange cake!  So yummy & light :)

Bill and I got home around 9 and were exhausted but I couldn’t kick the craving I had for vanilla ice cream, so we ran to the local ice cream shop and got some.  It was SO good and totally satisfied me :)

Ok well I’ll be back before we head out again for the day… we have a BUSY weekend!

Foodie Wrapup

Whew – what a fun, foodie Sunday we had! Boy am I stuffed to capacity too! I’m going to try to crank this post out superfast because the idea of being behind a day didn’t sound pleasant to me so I decided to spare the extra time tonight and show you my eats so I can get back on track with regular blogging tomorrow :)

We started the festivities around 4:30 we only had two other couples over so it was basically all of us decked out in Eagles jerseys and sweatpants - yes, we are all aware the Eagles were not playing, but we were still showing our spirit LOL.

We had a variety of fingerfoods that included:

  • Salsa & Tostitos
  • Pretzels & Honey Mustard
  • Veggies & Ranch Dip
  • Spinach Dip

For our main course, we had hoagies that I picked up from a deli by my parents’ house and a TON of boneless wings that our friends brought over. The flavors ranged from garlic, buffalo, honey bbq, terriyaki, etc… you get the idea!

I had a turkey hoagie with no cheese and tons of hot peppers & spicy mustard – it was delish! I wish they made whole wheat rolls, but oh well…

I definitely had my share of wings & dips but didn’t feel like photographing each one so I hope you understand :)

For dessert, I baked super chocolate & peanut butter brownies. I used a plain brownie mix and added some chopped up dark chocolate Hershey Kisses & chunky peanut butter to the batter. I baked them according to the package, topped them with vanilla icing and chocolate wafers. They were delish. I had two small ones and could have kept eating them!

What did you guys think about how the Superbowl ended? Although we were rooting for the Steelers, we really weren’t cheering like we would if the Eagles were in the game!  We played some block pools so that kept the game interesting, but sadly Bill and I didn’t win any of them!  One of our friends saw my P90X tapes so that led to an interesting conversation all about the program, seems everyone is a fan!

We are exhausted now so we’re going to try to clean up and make it through the Office. Tomorrow’s going to be a rough morning!

Hope you had a fun night :) Woo Hoo Steelers :)
