piLATEs

Well Alexa and I were planning on trying pilates tomorrow night, but I have to work the late shift, so we are going on Tuesday morning!
Any Pilates Gu-Ru's out there?!

So this is not a post of all of my eats today...rather some of my more interesting eats...

First...PB Yogurt (it's been too long) with frozen banana chunks. Go. Make. This. Now.

Mix about 1/2 c. Yogurt (I use FF Vanilla Stonyfield Farm) with ~1T PB (Mine was crunchy this time) and stir in ~half of a frozen banana (I cut my bananas into small chunks before freezing and then microwave them for about 6 seconds so that I can seperate them).

After mixing, the bananas act as a type of gelatin/whatnot and it's so creamy & cool.....Oh man! :D
For "Brunch", I made a frittata of sorts....I sauteed the following veggies:
  • Portabellos
  • Red Peppers
  • Carrots
  • Onion
  • Shredded Broccoli Stems (this is an ingenious way to use the bulky stems..and sneak veggies into your diet!)
  • TOOOOONS of Chili Powder :D

When verything looked just right, I turned down the heat and poured in 1egg + 1 egg white (beaten together). Once it looked fairly set, I placed it under the broiler until it look fully cooked.

Then I cut it up and plated...Let's get a closer look at this goodness! SOOO Good! And such a fun way to mix things up!

After work, I dove into this little guy..err gal... ;)

Penny's Low Fat Desserts Almond Poppy Seed Muffin Top
There is a light lemon essence in the midst of a perfectly subtle sweetness. However, the first thing you will notice is that each bite is...very, very dense, almost like a sweet dough; which I actually thoroughly enjoyed! The abundance of poppy seeds adds a slight element of crunch, but the delightfully dense textural experience overwhelms.
I enjoyed every. single. bite.
And finished it off with a scoop of Breyers FREE Vanilla Ice Cream! MMM baby! :D
Look at what came in the mail today...it is from Anthro! They have the cutest stuff! They sent me a 15% off coupon because (I just wrote b/c...your not in 10th grade anymore, Emily!) my birthday is this month (July 16th!) and it came in a cute little sewing pouch!



Next Food Network Star is on tonight and my mom and I are sooooo READY!

Are you?!

  1. We've got the show TiVo'd and are about to watch it now!! I'm secretly hoping the RD wins, even though she's not that good.

    Loved the frittata, very festive and colorful. I love chili powder too. Sometimes I put cayenne in my ice cream!

    Yeah for pilates. I Just do the videos, I figure I should get used to it before doing it with tons of other people!

  15. I've always wondered, do you really get a strong peanut butter flavor when you mix it in yogurt? It seems like it would get swept away
