What a Blessing!

MOTHERS that is! I have been blessed with such an amazing mom and made sure that she was pampered today! However, she deserves to be pampered every day (and I do my best to always help out around the house!). Love ya mom! :D

Necklace of the day (Aeropostale? American Eagle? Don't remember!)

We went to church this morning and I was so rushed that all I had time for was a banana! My real Breakfast/Lunch included our nifty toaster. We have had it for quite a while, but I thought I would show you guys how I poach my eggs! That little contraption on the right does everything for you! I love it!

Eggland's Best Poached egg and Mild Cheddar cheese on a Thomas' Hearty Whole Grain English Muffin with some yummy fruit on the side! Perfecto!

Yeah baby! :D

And since it was about 11:30, I thought it would be okay to have a little bit of Breyer's FREE vanilla! Oh those midday desserts! YUM!

I got some things done (including sorting some photos into a cute photo album I bought at Target yesterday!). While doing so, I ate enough Goldfish to warrant a picture!

My mom and I then headed to the mall and I found a comforter for my room here at home and one I liked for next year at school! So cute! I'll post pics of my final room makeover when it's done!

When I got home, I was parched (IT's SO HOT!). I wasn't really hungry, but needed something extra cold and delicious. Therefore, I put about 1/2c crushed ice, 1/2c water and 1/2c frozen fruit in the blender and wooooosh....slushie fruit spiked water!

F.Y.I......Mr. Blender does not like frozen chunks of fruit straight from the freezer......you have to give them a zap first!

My mom made a snack baggie to take with us on the road and I dunked in a few times when we got home. My favorite part is the sesame sticks that we got in the bulk bins at the grocery store! MMM!

Then I got BAKING! Look at that Masterpiece! I think it turned out well and my mom loved it! She had 3 small slices! That must mean something! hahaa

It was different from any cake I have ever had. Spongy, but very delish!

The filling called for stuff I did not have, so I improvised and used:

• 1 small container of OIKOS greek yogurt
• 1-8oz block of FF Cream Cheese
• Juice/zest of 1 lemon
• Juice of half an orange
• 4-6T Powdered Sugar
  

I had about 1/2cup of the filling leftover and it is so good. I will definitely be using it on top of waffles or strawberries soon! I also did all of the dishes (there were TONS) and made dinner! (My mom was out shopping at Walmart and Home Depot...looking for paint chips to match my new bedspread as well!).

Dinner included:

• Roasted carrots, beets, red potatoes and garlic (Beets are GOOD!...but turn your hands PURPLE...lol...it goes away, no worries!)
• Whole Wheat Couscous with mixed frozen veggies, a little seasoning and a touch of Pacific Foods Butternut Squash Soup to get a creamy consistency!
• Roma Tomatoes stuffed with tuna salad and topped with cheese.... then BAKED! LOVE! :D
  

Then we had dessert! I had one slice with a scoop of Breyer's FREE!
As delicious as the cake was, the ice cream fanatic in me kept me coming back for more.....I finished off my Breyer's FREE (I have not been the only one eating it! lol...though I ate most?!).

Breyer's FREE and LUCKY CHARMS (my brother's cereal).

aka ICE CREAM AND CEREAL (my 2 FAVORITE things!)

As healthy as I try to be, any cereal is fair game....if it is in arm's reach, I will eat it! HAHA

I indulged a bit today, but it was worth it! I wish I could celebrate my wonderful mom everyday....Oh Wait...I CAN! :D

Tommorrow, I start summer school (aka wake up early!), join the gym and turn in a job application to a nearby cafe (I neeeeed a job!). Busy Day!!
