And, I Pronounce Myself .... The Stir Fry Queen

You 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.

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 ... AND IT WAS GOOD!

All Ingredients In...Ready For Cook Down

3 oz. Fresh Broc
3 oz. Fresh Snow Peas (BGF is *gasping* & *fainting* right now)
1/2 C. Cole Slaw Mix
3 oz. LightLife Smart Strips Chik'n
1/2 C. Imagine No Chicken Broth
1 T. Kikkoman Less Sodium Teriyaki
Black & Cayenne Peppas

Plated w/ the Usual Salad Suspect

Close Up Of My Proudest Moment

Shake-shake of Tabasco after plating


After dinner I had a WW Giant Mint Fudge Ice Cream Cone Sundae. She isn't nearly as pretty in photos as she tastes in your mouth! She's sorry.

YUUUUM!

Work Snack, 100 Calorie - Chocolate & Caramel Chex Mix

I forgot to get a picture of my lunch as I was zipping around to the bank and gas station while consuming lunch. But...

Here's The Wrapper!

I love Amy's products. 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!

I needed to get something in my belly other than Fage for breakfast. So, instead of work, I went to a keg party and instead of breakfast...

I Had Beer.

Okay, I kid, I kid. No, I forgot my extra bowl to mix all breakfast ingredients into. That was sad. Not for long though - I then found said "keg cup". I get fancier every day, I tell ya!

Blurry Oatmeal Mess

1 Pkg Quaker Instant Oatmeal Plain
1 Honeycrisp Chopped *microwaved 1.5 minutes*
3-4 Shake-shakes of CINNAMON
1 Mini Box Market Pantry Raisins

Sorry again for the late post. I gotta get it together!! I'll see you all tonight after work!

Long Day, Tired Night

I'm so tired. I attended a lotion class for work tonight. For the second job, that is. I was notified of this lotion class at 8 a.m. this morning. Kinda foiled evening plans of TV watchin' and tree decoratin'. ((Sorry Babe))

This will be a short, short story tonight. Please don't stone me for the food you are about to witness either. It was a rather uneventful foodie type day.

Tired of this theme yet? I think I'll switch her up tomorrow.

New Favorite Things Hump Day!

Hi! 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!

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! Wow, that'd be greatness!

Red, Blue & Greek All Over

Chobs Blue
1 1/2 C. Fresh Strawberries
Yogi Granola Crisps

Once I mixed those bad boys up in the yogurt, I realized you couldn't see them anymore. FAIL. I came home tonight and took a pic of the bag and the little, round discs of PURE JOY!!!!!!!!!!

LUNCHASM

Flat Out Healthy Grain Wrap
2 Tbsp. Cedar's Roasted Red Pepper Hommus
Black & Cayenne Peppa
Laughing Cow, Light Original Swiss Wedge
1 C. Fresh spinach
4 Slices Smart Deli Ham
1 Perfect Honeycrisp *disclaimer* We are nearing the end of our season and that makes me sad. I can tell because the texture and flavor of the apple is turning a bit. Love 'em till the last one is ate up!

Snack TIME!!!

SNACKASM

30 Pieces Market Pantry (see, I'm not fancy) Semi-Sweet Choc Chips
100 Calorie Pack Ocean Spray Craisins

1/4 Green Bell
1/4 C. Mush
1/2 C. Salsa

Scrumptious, Fast, Filling. That's how I like my dinner, folks.

I forgot to tell you yesterday. HOW COULD I FORGET TO TELL YOU YESTERDAY?!?!?!?!?!?! BGF and I ordered a VitaTop multipack to share. I'm stoked, kids, stoked!!! Thanks, HungryGirl.

VITALICIOUS!!

Then the day got super fancy and way better than I could have ever imagined. Especially since there was no particular occasion, well, not yet anyway. I was lead through a "goose chase" of surprise and wonder all day. Then, what shows up to see me?

What's In There???

THESE!!!!!!

We capped off a great night by doing all of our Holiday Decor shopping!! We got our tree, all the ornaments, house decor, etc. We are going to decorate the day after TurkeyNess. So EXCITED! We had so much fun picking out our stuff. I can't wait to share photos with you all!

What? No mention of CINNAMON in today's feature? Strange. I know.

GoodNight Moon!

Tuesday Tuesday

Good Evening!

Good Evening to my new followers, old friends, fellow foodies, etc. Today was glorious because I got off work an hour early and didn't have to work tonight. 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!

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.

Isn't She Purdy?

Fage Total 0%
Planter's Daybreak Trail Mix (not the Energy selection)
1/4 C. Fresh Blues

I worked today and had a luncheon to attend. I, of course, declined the Blue Mesa food that was catered in. No thanks. It sure did smell good, but I had a powerful lunch of taste bud pleasing proportions awaitin'.

Cute Spoon Included To Eat My...

...Tasty Soup With!

Now that's a deal! 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!

Pre-DinnerTime Snack-a-licious

1 Bag, Orville 100 Calorie, Mini-Bags, Butter Flavor
1 Shake-shake of CINNAMON (don't kid...you saw that coming)
1 Shake-shake of Black Pepper
1 Shake-shake of Cayenne Pepper

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!!!!

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.

Goodnight Moon!

Another Late Night For The Cub

*Shout Out to my "Moms"* Hey Momma! Thanks for following! ;) You made my little FoodBlog day.

Anywhootie - Let's move on. This is going to be a short and sweet story of my Sunday Funday. I have a lot of pics to show, but not so many stories to tell. Here's the sitch...I was at work all day, went to the grocery with Matt and then home for dinner. That's about all she wrote, well, more like, all she did. Hehehe.

Spoonfuls with Silk Plain Light, CINNAMON and 1...count it...ONE Strawberry
Pleasant

Work Snack, Love these things!

No photo of working lunch. Was starved and could only grab bites here and there. It was a Kashi, Mayan Harvest Bake - Lip Smackin' Good!

Dinner was fabulous. Now dinner, dinner I DO have the energy to expand on.

What's in that beautiful, green "bun"?

SURRISE!!!!!!

Two leaves, Romaine aka "the bun"
1 Tbsp Kraft Free Mayo
1 Tbsp Heinz Ketch (half on, half on side)
1 Tsp Silver Springs Beer & Brat Mustard
1 Boca Original Vegan Burger
Sargento Reduced Fat Pepper Jack Slice
Alexia Sweet Potato Fries (with pepper and what? CINNAMON) - C'mon class...that was an easy one if you've been reading the blog at all.
Salad is just a mix of spinach, coleslaw mix, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms and Kraft Light Asian Toasted Sesame (Had that yet? Go get some! It's awesomeness in a bottle!)

An awful pic of me devouring my creation. *Not Naked* ...See micro strap on my right shoulder...

Dessert ROCKED it! This was a little something I threw together the other night. It was devilishly good so I recreated for Matt and myself tonight.


1/2 C. Strawberries
WW Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cup
CINNAMON sprinkled on top - No clue what possessed me to try this the other night, um, maybe my recent obsession with it? Hrmmmm...

This gets an "A+" for effort, originality, execution and deliverance!

Warning! There may not be a post tomorrow because of two shifts, totaling a 15 hour day. If there are any super goodies, I will recap on Tuesday! Goodnight Moon!

Saturdays, I miss you...

As you can see, my Saturday got carried away with other things. So much so that it is already Sunday, 12:04 a.m. as I compose a blog for Saturday's eatz. This was the soonest I could get here, peeps, trust!

Is it possible that there is any better combo than the two apple tastic things pictured below? I will say "No way, not possible." Have a look for yourself! PS - I took the picture from behind because I wanted too.

This, my dears, was the MECCA of BREAKFAST!!!

Fage Total 0%
1 Honeycrisp, chopped and heated with a sprinkle of my new fave thing ... CINNAMON
1/3 C. Granola (cheap too - nothing fancy, Kroger brand!)
MORE CINNAMON on top

Is it down right wrong for my breakfast to taste like a decadent dessert? Just wondering. Well, if it is, than my taste buds don't wanna be right!


You'll be happy to know, the dogs were equally as pleased with their breakfast as I was with mine.


California Natural - Herring & Sweet Potato for the kiddos. Yum!

The title of this blog refers mainly to the fact that I now have two jobs. I now have two jobs and I regularly work all seven days of the week. I miss my Saturdays. 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 defensive driving, online, for a pesky ticket I got back in August. Hush your mouth, I know I'm a procrastinator! Moving on...

I started to get hungry so I whipped up a taste-tastic lunch!


Oro Wheat Sandwich Thin
Kraft Free Mayo
Smart Deli Ham
Sargento Reduced, Colby Jack Slice
Cedar's Roasted Red Pepper Hommus - that's how they spell it on the label *shrug*
Black Pepper
Cayenne Pepper

Ooey, Gooey, Toasty Madness!

Boss man called when I started my shift and told me to get outta there 2 hours early. COOL! Don't have to tell me twice. I'm also doing a mid tomorrow instead of closing, which was the original plan. I'm happy about this. I'm also happy to be going to bed now. My din din was glorious, but I was so hungry by the time I got around to eating at work that I forgot to photograph. I leave you with just one tidbit about it, GO TRY THESE products, specifically THIS! Ignore the nutrition label for that though - it's wrong on the website!

Can't wait to catch up on all of your wonderful blogs tomorrow when I'm not all Fred Flintstone with the close pins on my eyelids. Goodnight Moon!

Slacker Returns!

Hello, Hello!

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.

First, let me say, out of nowhere, I've been blindsided with a true obsession with CINNAMON! I can't get enough - I'm adding it to everything!

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.

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.

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!

Then, I created THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fage Total 0%, Bear Naked Banana Nut Cereal, Banana, CINNAMON

Folks, I'm not kidding when I tell you that was off the chiz-ain!!!!!! Wowzers! I pledge to you, I'll be more regular from now on. I've been creating some of the most wonderful dishes of love and wonder. I have to share with someone, might as well be with those that appreciate GOOD and GOOD FOR YA food just as much as I do!
