First, I'd like to tell you all I had a great day! The second of two "get out of work an hour early-free" cards was used today. Hoooraaaahhh! The bf and I are catching him up on the seasons of Grey's before next season starts. He's watched the latest with me and we are now moving quite swiftly through season 2. <br /><br />Let us just get right down to brass tacks - I'm too excited to wait any longer. Thank you SO much to <a href="http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/">HEAB</a> for showcasing how to make an omelet in <a href="http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2010/05/24/omelet-tutorial/">THIS POST</a>.

At least they both produce the same exact three definitions. <span style="font-style: italic;">Omelet, Omelette</span> ... um, yeah, moving on. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">A Festive Feast Really<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA7rgyv-RnI/AAAAAAAABq8/DBvaKciMvBM/s1600/IMG_0122.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA7rgyv-RnI/AAAAAAAABq8/DBvaKciMvBM/s400/IMG_0122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480576745167799922" border="0" /></a><br />Omelet<br /><ul><li>1 egg/2 egg whites</li><li>2 slices Smart Deli Ham</li><li>1 slice Sargento, Reduced Fat Provolone</li><li>Low Sugar GRAPE JELLY schmashed and schmeeaared on top!</li></ul>Usual Suspect<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, I'm goooood!

Mine? Hmmmmmmm. It's goin' and I had a "get out of work one hour early-free" card for not one, but TWO days this week when I arrived! That's me, best job ever girl. Lol~ No, but anywhoooo, I skipped out at 3:30 p.m. today and will be doing the same tomorrow. *happy sighs* Please don't take this to mean that I have been productive since coming home. I absolutely haven't been. I have a list of things to do and then I'm going to bed! Early. 'Nuff said. <br /><br />My mind is so busy lately. I can't quiet my thoughts! There's SO much floating around up there, so much I want to do, so much needs to get done, wants, needs, tasks .... AAAAHHHHHH!! I can't figure out if I need a vacation or if I need to address this issue in typical, 10th grade English paper style and make an "outline" first. It's all very exciting things, for the most part -- so that is....well, <span style="font-style: italic;">EXCITING</span>! <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Dearest peeps, I NEED YOUR HELP! I bought and have been using the Vanilla Hemp Protein Powder. I get a SERIOUS case of the jitters and weirdness when I consume it. Is this normal? Has ANYONE ever experienced this? Does it go away? I tried only using half a portion this morning and still got the same reaction. I want to do protein and was really amped about the Hemp vs. any others and am now thinking it may not work. ?? I also want to try the Amazing Grass Amazing Meal but it's protein sources are Hemp and Rice proteins. Also, the Manitoba Harvest site's FAQ page says there is no way to fail a drug test by consuming their products, however, I'm wondering if that holds true even if I plan to include this in my daily or several times a week regimen. This is, of course, if the strangeness I get from it goes away, otherwise I'm going to look into the Bio-Chems. Seriously, any helpful words would be greatly appreciated!! </span><br /><br />Dinner was served for me, by me this evening promptly at 5:36 p.m. Yes, that's early, even for MOI! I like to have plenty o' digestion time before hopping in bed. As mentioned above, it's early to bed for me tonight. Annnnnddddddd ...... *DRUM ROLL PLEASE* <br /><br />I GOT OUT MY POINT AND SHOOT!!!!! No iPhone photos on tonight's dinner "menu". <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Lazy Lady SupperPalooza<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA15Yn9SnUI/AAAAAAAABqc/AY404sb0EdM/s1600/IMG_0116.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA15Yn9SnUI/AAAAAAAABqc/AY404sb0EdM/s400/IMG_0116.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480169785529638210" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Pita "pretend sandwich"<br /> Joseph's Pita<br /> Smart Deli Ham<br /> Kraft FF Shredded Ched<br />Insides of a SP w/ <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">CINNAMON</span><br />Usual Suspect Salad<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA15YaOC21I/AAAAAAAABqU/6JVCNUMjwEs/s1600/IMG_0117.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/TA15YaOC21I/AAAAAAAABqU/6JVCNUMjwEs/s400/IMG_0117.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480169781841812306" border="0" /></a>BTW - I should mention this gorgeous display of sweet, succulent perfection was supposed to be eaten LAST NIGHT.

I had some ketchup to dip this in too -- it made it to dinner late and therefore, was not pictured. <br /><br />I'm outta here kids! <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Q's: </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">1. What protein do you use and why? Why do you like it? What purpose does it serve with your dietary needs/daily regimen? <br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">I am trying the Manitoba Harvest and as I stated, it may not be working. :( Major case of the sads if that stays true. I want it for sustenance. I'm not trying to bulk up or gain weight -- opposite actually, but just intended to use it in the GMs or Breakfast Cookies to hold me tight until lunch. </span></span><br /></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">2. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the thoughts spinning in your head? What quiets this for you? <br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">I try to read and blog and read blogs and then get bogged down with the fact that I know I want to do these things. Also, my mind will go a million directions on me and then I am chasing my thoughts around all day making sure I don't forget anything. Anytime I gear up for a life change this happens. That, and, I need a cleaning lady and I need to de-clutter EVERYTHING; house, life, computer files ... EVERYTHING! </span></span><br /></span>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555198573796449682noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039700584750408312.post-57761068817121509782010-05-31T19:39:00.000-07:002010-05-31T21:33:23.260-07:00New Yums, Stir Fry Queen X2 & A Happy Memorial Day!What's up peeps?? Everyone having a wonderful Holiday weekend? My three day weekend, I mean...day off that I had today was great. I worked the other days. But hey, I'll take the day off compared to none since I am normally pulling the seven day work weeks! I made a little money and had a pretty chillaxed weekend. Of course, the Registered Dietitian train never ceases to steam roll through my head. Big decisions on the horizon, folks .... BIG TIME DECISIONS!<br /><br />Well, let's get to the eatz, shall we? Let me preface by saying, this post is going to be somewhat inspired by and copy-catory (I made that word up, deal with it) of one of my favorite <a href="http://www.healthydivaeats.com/">FABU FOOD~ISTAS</a>. 'Tis true, she really got my creative, whole foodie juices flowing after reading earlier in the weekend.<br /><br />So - I worked my heart out on Saturday then went to SPROUTS. Love me some SPROUTS! It's like Whole Foods, only ... not <span style="font-style: italic;">quite</span> as cool or pricey, on a smaller scale and closer to home. I had to pick up some staples for my morning <a href="http://greenmonstermovement.com/">Monster</a> ritual. I've really found that these jjjjuuummmppp start my day. I always use my Amazing Grass, Superfood packets, but finally ventured into the protein powder world. I decided on the Manitoba Harvest, Hemp Protein, Vanilla. <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-style: italic;">Does anyone out there do both the wheat grass/superfood AND the protein pows in their smoothies?</span> After checking the facts on both, I believe I am gaining many benefits from each that offer separate sets of awesomeness even when combined. Also, I'm more into the protein pow for sustenance, not bulk or weight gain. I plan to only use one serving a day -- any thoughts or input on this would be helpful! I also picked up some Organic Puffed Kamut! Thanks again, to <a href="http://www.healthydivaeats.com/2010/05/3-day-weekend-yes-please.html">Katie's post</a>!!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Dear Kamut, </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 51, 255);">Where have you been my whole life?

I mean, 4/$5...yes, please! Luna bars take hunger and pretty much stomp it out for a good 3-5 hours for me. Anything that can do that is worth more than a hill of beans to me! Ha! I should mention that I ravenously attacked my Iced Oatmeal Raisin Luna the minute I was back in my car. Staple around here = Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, 'nuff said. Please allow me to explain that I sincerely had high hopes for bringing the loot in and photographing it immediately. That plan went down hill upon said encounter with Luna bar #1 and then only further tanked when I had to quick fast get ready to head out the door to see a movie. Hence, you get a photo of foods that have all been opened and sampled already!

I may actually take down the Christmas Tree. *hides and giggles* Ah, yes ... it's still Christmas in the Liz-Matt-Kosmo-Miller-Olive-Roxy residence. Year of Cheer, anyone? Ha!<br /><br />I'll leave you with a photo of my new fave snaxkie!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/S4iZBSEAzHI/AAAAAAAABpk/g0FfAeAOAMg/s1600-h/gse_multipart5680054992129874505.tmp.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/S4iZBSEAzHI/AAAAAAAABpk/g0FfAeAOAMg/s400/gse_multipart5680054992129874505.tmp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442768396984831090" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Honeycrisp Apple (last of season, really trying to hang on while I can)<br />2 T Better n' Peanut Butter<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CINNAMON<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'll be back tomorrow, kiddos. <br /><br />Over n' Out! <br /><br />Thanks for reading!! <br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Question: What's your favorite afternoon snack that tends to really get you through until dinner time?</span><br /></span></span>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555198573796449682noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039700584750408312.post-20171500207534111672010-02-05T19:53:00.000-08:002010-02-05T20:08:41.739-08:00Need A Life ChangeHappy New Year!! <br /><br />....what? Am I late? Yes, I know - I know! I haven't been around and I'm sorry. Just when I had you all biting your nails all day for my next post, POOF, I disappear. Please accept this apology? <br /><br />I come back tonight with no food descriptions or photos of food eaten lately. I come tonight missing my blog, missing my blog readers and missing the blogs I used to follow daily. I come tonight needing a change. You see, I'm NOT happy. I'm working like a dog (insert description of 68+ hour work week here) and I'm so worn out. I don't have time for the YOGA and running I want to begin again, I don't have time for my fellow foodies or to even indulge my own inner foodie. I'm not my best person right now. Not for me, not for anyone and it's starting to become evident. I guess you can say...I come back tonight in search of a soul cleanse and a catalyst to begin in a new direction that will take me back to being happy and feeling fulfilled. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I'm not some pathetic, drained sap just moping around. That is NOT the case at all. I can just tell it's time for me to make a change and make some cuts and figure out what's really important for ME. I have to figure these things out, although I'm almost sure I know, and make some necessary compromises to achieve ultimate happy ME. <br /><br />I ask for you to hang on and don't lose faith in me while I make the transition back to the fun, food and life loving ME you've known in the past. I'll be back. While I can't say I'll be able to post DAILY for a while ... maybe even WEEKLY is a more attainable goal. Just hang on with me. I am determined to make 2010 the best year yet, for myself, on a personal level. I'll be back to commenting on your blogs again soon as well. <br /><br />I'm empowered and determined! WORLD...

Well, as I didn't try any of this, I cannot say I enjoyed it, however I know it was good because I continuously put my nose up to each serving dish and pretended. Everyone around the table was stuffed and pleased, so I can only imagine the delight of my taste buds, had I partaken. I had some side motivation though - and we'll get to that in a moment.<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,102,0)">Their THANKSGIVING</span><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"></span></div><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SxBBxaDoPpI/AAAAAAAABn4/ixCIs_GOpu0/s1600/TDAll.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408895469535903378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SxBBxaDoPpI/AAAAAAAABn4/ixCIs_GOpu0/s400/TDAll.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">Ham<br />Deep Fried Turkey<br />Corn Casserole *OMG - REALLY?*<br />Honey Mustard<br />Gravy<br />Stuffing<br />Homemade Cranberry Sauce<br />GB Casserole<br />Mashed Taters<br />Yams<br />Hawaiian Rolls *My Fave-ugh*<br /><br /><br /></span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"></span>My Pretty MommaBear & Aunt-Grandma Chris (the Chef) With All of the FOOD!<br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SxBBxWY05eI/AAAAAAAABnw/OFVdvDku5qg/s1600/TDC%26M%26All.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408895468551071202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SxBBxWY05eI/AAAAAAAABnw/OFVdvDku5qg/s400/TDC%26M%26All.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There's not enough blog to talk about the relation of Chris and I.

Did you all know Old Navy was open and having Gobblepallooza yesterday? Well, much to Mom's credit card dismay, it was! We can just say that Mom got her Christmas for the Cub OUT OF THE WAY! This is good because I realllly needed winter clothes and a jacket. I got tons of clothes! Like, 9 shirts, 3 pairs of jeans and a VERY SNAZZY jacket!! Soooo Happy!! I also go the cutest little slipper/shoe socks. They are made to look like a little bootie but a shoe. They have the sticky prints on the bottom so you don't go sliding and slipping around. And, that cute little strap over the top?! Ohhhh! I'm eatin' that up! FASHION, people!

I am happy to be home and happy to be posting tonight. I just had the best night at work. Things are great when they are great...let's just say that! It was a short shift as well. You can't beat a quick 7 p.m. - 11 p.m., four hour shift!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm super excited about tomorrow. I live for the Holidays! Seriously. Starting in early October I get more and more giddy as the days go by. When Halloween rolls around, I've lost my sanity and am just my inner child, fully unleashed. Git It! Oh yea!! My Momma Bear is coming in, from Nashville, tomorrow!!! YAY!! Matt's getting in and meeting me at home when I get off. We are going to clean sweep the house and then go see Mom. This makes my heart smile.<br /><br />Off to the great and interesting meals of the day!<br /><br />Sidebar: I'm going to get in T-R-O-U-B-L-E for this...<br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">How Many Times Can I Reinvent Fage Breakfast?<br />OH....About A Million!!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwzKAfC9DrI/AAAAAAAABnA/fGNXMxLtnJQ/s1600/Fage_Mango.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407919362247823026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwzKAfC9DrI/AAAAAAAABnA/fGNXMxLtnJQ/s400/Fage_Mango.jpeg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Fage Total 0%<br />1 C.

I am only going to recap the most worthy meals from yesterday and today. They are of high regard though, that, I promise you! I've been super busy. Worked the longest shift of my life at el second job last night. I also did not have a very good shift. Actually, it was awful. I'm hoping to turn that all around tomorrow night. Positive thinking turns out positive results. I finally saw New Moon and enjoyed it. Matt liked the first one better.

This was so filling and to be quite honest, a PARTY IN MY MOUTH! This has to be one of my MOST FAVORITE breakfasts I've ever eaten. I can't say enough about the Agave Nectar. I love it! It is a little pricey, but well worth it!! I was told under strict order that I "BETTER USE THAT!" I am putting it on everything. I can't wait to try some of <a href="http://www.katheats.com/?page_id=6976">Kath's pancakes</a> with it!<br /><br />Let's talk about yesterday...we'll get to breakfast in a second, but first...It was onward to lunch before work. I needed something that was going to fill me up and not let the taste buds down! I had no idea that what I was creating would be such a feast of amazement! Holy Smokes! It did it's job in both departments, I was so tickled with the tastiness and it held me over until about 8:30 p.m. As a reference, I consumed this GLORY somewhere in the 1 o'clock hour.<br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Plated Love.

As I stated, I had dinner around 8:30 p.m. It was nothing fancy, although, I was highly impressed. Lean Cuisine makes a killer pizza! I had the Mushroom Pizza last night and I wasn't expecting it to be so tasty! It was. Nothing more to say, however.<br /><br />Going in true backwards fashion, let's talk about yesterday's breakfast! It was wonderous and full of Wow. It was also filling. This is the most common theme, along with exciting my taste buds, that I'm looking for in breakfast these days. I hadn't opened my second can of Libby's yet, so I figured yesterday could be the day. I was happy I did. 'Twas also the first time I tried my new Sweetheart, Agave Nectar.

Hello!<br /><br />I hope you all had a fabulous Saturday! I worked this evening. Perhaps the title of my blog should be "Yesterday's Eatz" because I seem to post either after midnight, or after sleeping, making it REALLY the next day. <br /><br />Today, I kinda sat around, did some laundry, had some yummy food...you know, the norm. I slept in a little bit and was starving when I woke. I was teetering back and forth on what to eat. I decided on the bowl of Love you see below. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Gorgeous & "YOOMY"<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwjbndIY8BI/AAAAAAAABmQ/R1_KnndsP3I/s1600/-4.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwjbndIY8BI/AAAAAAAABmQ/R1_KnndsP3I/s400/-4.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406812823539478546" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Fage Total 0%<br />1 Honeycrisp Chopped & Popped in Micro for 1.5 Minutes<br />1/2 C.

The Stir Fry QueenYou may be noticing that it is Saturday and you saw no post from me last night. I fell asleep at my computer, literally, computer in lap, sitting up in bed, hand on keyboard. I was in this position for roughly 2 hours. My hand was so numb when I woke up! Anyway, I was rather disoriented, so I thought it best not to blog in foreign sleep language and just proceeded on to bed. <br /><br />I am starting yesterday's food at the end and working my way back. It was too darned awesome not too! If you have any apprehension about believing me, please refer to the title of this blog post. I had NO idea I could make a stir fry, on my own, out of thin air, with NO RECIPE!! I created this - me, myself, my hands, my brain ... I CREATED THIS ...

They are simply, some of the best I've tried! If you haven't tried them, or are unfamiliar, they are a Vegetarian company. They offer both Vegan & Vegetarian options. I have had their bowls, meals, burritos, etc. They make tons of frozen items from breakfast to snack to dinner. AWESOME! <br /><br />I needed to get something in my belly other than Fage for breakfast.

How was everyone's day? I hope it was half as great as mine. Most days, I hope for a great day, which would be, on any normal day, HALF as great as the day I've had!<br /><br />I tried Chobs for the first time! This was thanks to my BGF (Best Good Friend), who loves me and always buys in bulk at Costco. It was a big hit. I would really love to mix it up with some fresh fruit and freeze it!

ROCK! Seriously - yesterday was a total drain! Sorry again for the no post-a-roo and trust me when I tell ya, there was nothing exciting about yesterday's eatz. Maybe that's because I knew I wasn't accountable. Healthy? Yes. Interesting or picturesque? No. But...LET'S TALK ABOUT TUESDAY!<br /><br />How can Tuesday not be great when it's started off like THIS? I seriously can't get enough of my Fage! Love Love Love.<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Isn't She Purdy?<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwNTlEaDnAI/AAAAAAAABiw/714AnTozByA/s1600/Fage_DB_Blue.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405255874078022658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwNTlEaDnAI/AAAAAAAABiw/714AnTozByA/s400/Fage_DB_Blue.jpeg" border="0" /></a>Fage Total 0%<br />Planter's Daybreak Trail Mix (not the Energy selection)<br />1/4 C.

They included a spoon too? Not only a spoon, a perfect, little wonton spoon! What? I know...unheard of! And, do you spy that ADORABLE Mickey Mouse inspired snack? How could you not have a great Tuesday or a great time eating lunch with that? Fresh baby carrots, celery, baby pretzels (I HAVE A HEART ON FOR PRETZELS IN ANY FORM) and a cheese sauce to dip it all in. They also give instructions on how to build "fun" stuff with all the pieces in Mickey's head. I refrained. Lunch was a serious affair for me today. I know...I know...I'm a total Fun FAIL. At a whopping 110 calories for that filling snack, I'll be pickin' up some 'mo of those suckers!<br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Pre-DinnerTime Snack-a-licious<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwNTkSIEm-I/AAAAAAAABiY/tqYlO8_xnww/s1600/Popcorn.jpeg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405255860580817890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SwNTkSIEm-I/AAAAAAAABiY/tqYlO8_xnww/s400/Popcorn.jpeg" border="0" /></a>1 Bag, Orville 100 Calorie, Mini-Bags, Butter Flavor<br />1 Shake-shake of <span style="COLOR: rgb(204,0,0)">CINNAMON <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">(don't kid...you saw that coming)<br />1 Shake-shake of Black Pepper<br />1 Shake-shake of Cayenne Pepper<br /><br />My lips were on fire, my tongue was doing the happy dance and my belly was satisfied. I didn't capture dinner tonight. A few reasons, first, it was NON original and totally heated up from the freezer. Lean Pockets, Three Cheese & Broccoli. YUMMY though. On the side, a salad with my fave asian dressing. I must have programmed the micro for about 2 million minutes instead of 2 min, 15 sec ... as was the plan. Let's just say...it was crunchy and a bit dry. Did it still taste good and do the trick? Yeppers!!!!<br /><br />I'm going to turn in early tonight. I think I'm going to go plan at least breakfast and lunch for tomorrow first. Then it's off to watch my "Guilty Pleasure" shows. That phrase takes the place of actually telling you, because if I told you what shows, well, I'd be embarrassed and you don't want that.<br /><br />Goodnight Moon!<br /></span></span>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555198573796449682noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039700584750408312.post-76075713823885851512009-11-15T21:57:00.001-08:002009-11-15T22:22:19.263-08:00Another Late Night For The Cub*Shout Out to my "Moms"* Hey Momma!

Today was double duty. I woke up early because I wanted to get a fair amount of yummy food, relaxation time and productivity in before work. Work was at 5 p.m. Yummy food? Check. Relaxation time? Uh, hello? Relaxation time? Where did you go? Calling Relaxation time, party of one. Final call for Relaxation time, party of one. ... It never came. Productivity rushed right in stole the show. I spent the better part of my day taking <a href="http://www.comedydriving.com/">defensive driving</a>, online, for a pesky ticket I got back in August. Hush your mouth, I know I'm a procrastinator!

Goodnight Moon!<br /></div></div>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555198573796449682noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039700584750408312.post-18892855514704534732009-11-13T19:46:00.000-08:002009-11-13T20:02:16.049-08:00Slacker Returns!Hello, Hello!<br /><br />I've been slacking on this for sure! Maybe I'm the queen of starting projects that I never finish. That irks me though because it is quite possibly one of my biggest pet peeves in others. I figured I'd catch up...or at the very least, give you something to look at.<br /><br />First, let me say, out of nowhere, I've been blindsided with a true obsession with <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CINNAMON</span>! I can't get enough - I'm adding it to everything!<br /><br />Second, for the foodblog thing to work out properly, I must get up the nerve to break out my point and shoot digital camera each time I want to capture food for you all. It's no bueno to use the iPhone camera, as you can see, photo quality = bad news! Note: the food tastes way better than the photos can ever suggest, at least until I've gotten into the practice of non habitual laziness and break out the other cam. <br /><br />At any rate, let me share at least one meal that made my head spin in pleasure. I look forward to breakfast everyday at breakfast time. Here, I'll be more clear ... I look forward to the NEXT day's breakfast everyday at breakfast time. Usually, I start to prep and I get ideas for the following day and start getting excited. Lunch and dinner, I'm sorry to say that you've got some serious competition these days. Better pick it up a bit. <br /><br />So, in a random Facebook ad, I clicked to receive a free package of this from Bear Naked! I was pleased!! Go gitcha some today!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/Sv4p95GoK9I/AAAAAAAABgw/X72BkkLiymI/s1600-h/-6.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/Sv4p95GoK9I/AAAAAAAABgw/X72BkkLiymI/s400/-6.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403802746168552402" border="0" /></a><br />Then, I created THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/Sv4ptM6e1HI/AAAAAAAABgo/v8aBGAVZMmM/s1600-h/-7.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/Sv4ptM6e1HI/AAAAAAAABgo/v8aBGAVZMmM/s400/-7.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403802459428541554" border="0" /></a>Fage Total 0%, Bear Naked Banana Nut Cereal, Banana, <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">CINNAMON<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Folks, I'm not kidding when I tell you that was off the chiz-ain!!!!!!

I Was ...Being a vegetarian for nearly three years, it is pretty easy these days. I get random cravings and when I do, I go right out and try to come up with a sensible, similar substitute.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I present to you - Dinner from Tuesday (9/29/09) Night - Chik'n Parmesan<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Pardon the not-so-special photography</span><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SsQEs-7GQUI/AAAAAAAABf4/bHvKQJcR3AI/s1600-h/-5.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a-ugD8FMVEs/SsQEs-7GQUI/AAAAAAAABf4/bHvKQJcR3AI/s400/-5.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387436225093583170" border="0" /></a>This one took my craving, twisted it in two and ripped it right outta there! GO ME!! I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a QUICK, LIGHT, HEALTHY, TASTY meal.

My name is Liz and I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Over the course of the last year, I've changed a lot. One of the main things I've changed is my eating habits. I've started this blog because I'm a total "foodie" at heart. I love to eat, take pictures of food, share what I've made and tried, etc. I figured this would be a great way to get my "foodie fix".<br /><br />This blog does not claim to be the most healthy and will fit into no particular category other than vegetarian and it will take on an overall healthy vibe. I will post photos, recipes and miscellaneous blurbs about all things FOOD!<br /><br />I hope you enjoy!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13555198573796449682noreply@blogger.com0
