I'll make you banana pancakes pretend like it's the weekend now

Hello beautiful friends!
This morning i woke up and realized i am home alone! My rents are at work and my sisters had their first day of school today,11th and 3rd grade to be exact. Now what is a foodie supposed to do on a rare occasion like today? 

That's right jam to way too loud music and make pancakes!



It was easy Bisquick pancake mix... so maybe i was not the baking genius but it was just what the doctored ordered. also i lied in my title these were blueberry not banana...forgive me?
I also cut up a peach and put it on the griddle for 5 minutes! sooo good, try it now

I have a confession to make girls i am addicted to...PICKLES?!?!


 I know this is prob the most bizarre food to be addicted to but seriously when ever i feel like a snack i run to the fridge for one..OK two of these dill pickles. They are so juicy and many other "that's what she said" adjectives.
 So i have not had a chance to try out all my swag yet, which is a good thing BC i will be needed all these bars for college, remember chem day(all Friday, all chem)?

the rest of the day consists of:
  • getting a parking pass for the school
  • Figuring out how to make pages on my blog for reviews,fitness and such
  • making choco chip cookies(1st day of school tradition)
  • yoga
  • hanging out with the boy
  • tanning??
  • PACKING, I.E searching through my sister's room for my belongings before i move on FRIDAY! ekkkk

I haven't done much yoga in the past week since i am trying to live it up till i move to college in 9 days! But i do miss it a lot, need to do some asap. 

Question: since this is my first year in college i do not know what i will need for my dorm and what isn't allowed! can you girls help me out? and what snacks are good to buy? 

Have a great day girls, im going to try to put together a dance party!
 wish me luck.

thinking

Im sitting here thinking of what to write. I see all these amazing blogs that teach me so much and share their interests in many things. I want to share fun yummy eats but i also want to share my creative/girlie side so i guess get ready for a shmorgishnorg of girlie yummy foods and pretty things and who knows?! I'm excited i hope you are too!

Zoey came home which is another reason for the MIA, I'm so happy he is back, now i am moving in 12days! ekkkkkk scary.

Food:
I have been in a funk the past couple days. I am not eating the way i like and munching out on to many not so good for me foods. Its all ok but i just miss all my healthy healthy eats.
But a day or so ago i made the best salad yet!

Best salad yet

  • roasted  brussel sprots
  • roasted tomato

Today's brekkie was PERFECT

  • coffee
  • banana
  • red ORGANIC grapes
  • 2 hard boiled egg whites (the yolk is too weird a texture for me)

Funniest new toy!


*please excuse this announcement your regular food post will continue after this announcement*
a breast feeding doll?!?!?! Yea i kid you not the doll is called Bebe Gloton...


"Berujan's "Bebe Gloton" is designed to promote breastfeeding as a natural part of motherhood, but some wonder if it's a little over the top. Bebe Gloton comes complete with a tie on "apron" for your child to wear -- the bra-like top has flower-like "nipples" to activate the doll's sucking sounds and movements."
Seriously???? I started cracking up with laughter when I saw this on the news. it is supposed to
show that breast feeding is natural but i just thought you guys would find this funny. So if you are in a rut for conversations today bring this doll up...or not.
Brekkie:

oatmeal cookie!
  • 1/3cup oats
  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • some golden raisins
  • scoop cashew butter
  • 1/2 scoop protein powder
  • 1 date
  • lots of Cinnamon
  • topped with cherry and strawberry jam.
Again amazing, i love oatmeal cookies for brekkie. but tomorrow will prob be different since i do not want to get bored of this yummmy meal! 

Today's to do:
  1. work
  2. gym
  3. library
  4. yoga
  5. clean room while jamming to some tunage(its a serious mess)
Have a great day everyone!! be back after to do another post!

long but good

Hey guys I feel so far from the blog community since i d not post as much as i want to let me explain/vent ...
Everyday i get on blogger to do a post but then
a band members GF/ (friend-plant) comes over and i HAVE to of course be nice and accommodate her. I just feel so awkward because i know she just talks about me when it is over and she does not talk to me unless it is gossip. I really don't know why i am posting my vent it just irritates me, because i love my "me" time where i can read blogs, write a blog, do yoga. I have learned to enjoy my company since all the girls in my city are drama fanatics, and have become more independent. 
These interruptions have shown me that i have changed since last year for the better. All you girls are the sweetest nicest girls i have ever "met" before. I love all the support you give each other so sorry for not commenting or such recently but i have been lurking your blogs and when i get the chance i plan on getting to know you all better. 
Thanks for letting me vent! haha now on the food....

Yoga
I have still been doing yoga almost everyday for at least 30min , mostly hour videos. I have a funny yoga story for your enjoyment
  • I do yoga at Zoe's now while he has band practice, and one day I was doing a yogatoday.com video and he decides to set the mood for yoga and lights up a couple birthday candled on a Styrofoam plate. it was a cute/sweet idea but while i am in downward dog i smell the candles More powerfully and i look up and see a small fire on the plate! i blew it out but it was defiantly growing. After it was out i started laughing and cleaned up the little mess on the table. here is a pic of the poor Styrofoam plate

  • Man o man if you have not tried yoga yet go to yogatoday.com and try their free yoga class now! they begging seems slow, but it is just to get you into a breathing pattern then it will move faster into poses and give you enough time to stretch and get stronger.
  • Saturday i am going with my friend to a HOT yoga class which is exciting for me since i have never been.
FOOD:
 I have just been munching on fruit and whole wheat bread and smoothies recently since I do not want to buy my own groceries anymore since i do not have a job. But my eats have been very yummy to me, but not great to show everything in a food blog. 

But i have found a very yummy bread/bagel i like

Nutritional info: calories 240, fat 20. Fiber-7g! Protein 10g! sugar 7g. calcium/iron 10%. Thiamin/niacin 15%.

My review: def more bready then bagley if that makes since. But it it very yummy and made from all ingredients i know! I do not think these were fried at all since it does not have that harder/carby outside that regular bagels have. Overall you are prob better off buying whole wheat bread. But def worth it if buying on sale. I liked it and prob will buy it again if i get a bagel feeling.





This morning was a brekkie cookie made last night and heated for 30 sec this morn.
WOW heating it up a little makes  a HUGE difference! I thought they were already yummy but after microwaving it gets a gooey cookie texture bc if the peanut butter and oatmeal. FANTASTIC! 

  • 1/3 cup Oats
  • lil over 1/3 cup of a milk water mix
  • sprinkle of splenda...sue me ;)
  • less then a 1/4 of chopped dried fruit mix
  • scoop of naturally more pb (sooo good in the cookie)
  • 1/2 scoop of protein mix( i didn't want it too protein powder tasting)
  • In the morn topped it with a sprinkle of granola
  • side of jam

some melon on the side :)

Lunch will be a green monster since i just finished an hour of yoga. yumm got to get spinach now though. Dinner will be a bagel with tuna/egg/or something

Life:
Since zoe's friend is off tour for 2months we have been hanging with him a lot which is always fun. Last night we went to see G force in 3-D! (yes you read that correctly) It would of sucked if not in 3-D but it was awesome s=because of it. It actually looked like things were flying toward us. Pretty awesome and there was also car crashes and car stunts in a kid movie with gerbils talking? odd but funny.
But also since we are hanging out and out all the time now(not complaining about having things to do) I have to plan my meals more and that is why I already know what i am eating through out the day basically since i pack everything before i head over to zoes.  As long as i get my hour of yoga in i am a happy camper.
I hope all you girls are having a great summer! 

Question:
In th morning and during the day when i stand up i get dizzy/light headed and sometime it goes black for like ten seconds. it is not not ALL the time but def enough to notice.does this happen to you? why does this happen, how can i stop it?

short and yummy

Summer = Busy bee

Hey everyone hope everyone had a FANTASTIC weekend!
This weekend i went to warp tour which is scene/punk music (i like pop/rock music, not so much punk and hard core) but it was a lot of fun to see people mosh pit. It was actually hilarious! Then The Maine came on last and i danced like no one was watching. pretty awesome.haha.

Some eats?

Salmon wrap with spinach,salsa, motz cheese 


Most people have oats in their remainder of PB but i have a fruit bowl
  • mango
  • banana
  • peach
  • 1 strawberry

yummm
  •  peanut butter English muffin
  • pecan
  • banana


  • english muffin with Jam
  • egg whites with a veggie patty
besides the everyday green monster.... (sooooooo good make one NOW)

Pamper trick?
Has to included the blogs favorite food item, EVERYONE has!

Soothing and anti-inflammatory, oatmeal contains beta glucan, a soluble fiber that creates a thin, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the skin

. Place a handful of whole oats in a clean washcloth and use a rubber band to secure it. Next, immerse it in a sink full of warm water and squeeze the bag four or five times. Once the water is cloudy, splash it on your face and then air-dry. (If you must towel dry, pat as gently as possible.)

  • Do you guys know the band HEY MONDAY? the rhythm guitarist is Zoey's best friend since elementary school. They had a show last night in ft lauderdale so we went to go see them. They did such an AWESOME job! It was so cool to watch them bc this has been all their dreams to be in a famous band, everyone was singing their songs, wanting their autographs, wanting to touch their arm! I could feel the energy so i just started dancing, haha the rest of my group didn't dance, but i LOVE dancing so me and zoe dance.

I didn't over eat that much i may of had one to many cookies but only 3 (they were all generous sizes) and a veggie burger, corn, guac with chips. pretty good for a dinner but i felt over stuffed.
anyway(no pictures sorry i was delirious half the day)

oat bran

  • 1/3 cup oat bran
  • 2/3 almond milk
  • 1/3 water
  • 3diced dates

Then went to whole foods to get dinner. and of course a sample of granola and a fig

Lunch
fruit salad, water melon,mango, dried chilled cherries, coconut
Warm English muffin 1/2 ricotta with Cinnamon and splenda, half smart balance butter Cinnamon, splenda.
This was a very good sweet dessert lunch. a mock Cinnamon roll if you will.

Went to see Ice Age 3 with the boy! we went in to the theaters and no one was at the ticket buying booth! so we went inside and only saw the concession stand people, so we just walked into the movie! no one stopped us, it was weird but fun! there i snacked on a trio strawberry bar and green tea, plus 2 cookie dough bites zoe had.
at the end i was still hungry(9pm) so went back to my house to eat dinner

Dinner-
I didnt end up eating my whole foods for dinner bc i want to be really hungry to enjoy it all so it will be lunch today! but dinner was a bowl that was a shmorishborg of...

  • Cottage cheese
  • Homemade guacamole
  • The other veggie burger my dad grilled
  • 1 egg/1 egg white "fried"egg (used pam to cook it on stove)
Dessert
A lil hand of m&m's and 2 squares of dark chocolate.

YOGA
tried doing stress reduce yoga from yogatoday.com (it was their free class of the week) but i got to say i love challenging myself so i didn't particularly enjoy this class so i stopped 11min in. This would be GREAT for first timers and people who just want to reduce stress but i wanted a yoga workout flow. SO i went to my podcast and did the balance flow and guess what
  1. i can do all the vinyasas without a problem
  2. I went from tree poses to toe balance back to tree pose(all on only one leg!!)
  3. I did the crow for two breaths this time! doubled my record.
  4. I feel sooooo much better and energized, i love yoga and i love how i feel about my body after. I am so proud of my body for being able to adapt and get stronger to hold these poses.

polenta



My camera is charging right now so i do not have dinner and dessert pics
Dinner was mom made polenta and sauerkraut, polenta is sooo yummy 

Dessert was a sundae kind of thing-
  • spoon of choco ice cream
  • spoon of vanilla ice cream 
  • 1/2 TBSP DCD peanut butter
  • 1/2 TBSP WCW peanut butter
  • tsp of choco chip dough peanut butter
  • 4 roasted marsh mellow
Just what i wanted! i wish i could of taken a pic but i know i will be eating this again!

This morning i did yoga 30 min of a core/balance yoga it was for yogi level def not my level so i stopped half way though but i did all of it until i couldn't do anymore, I feel good about doing 30min and i got really stretched out and energized. Then i did the day one of summer glow i am so excited to see if i get all toned by the end of the month or just see if i feel any different.

Brekkie

I could not decide if i wanted PBU,peanut butter,bread, oatmeal but then i felt like eating something savory so i had 
  • 1/2 cup of polenta
  • about 1/4 cup of some veggies in a sauce my mom made
Very yummy, and just what i wanted. I thought i was still hungry but i had a cup of coffee and was satisfied.
QUESTION: does anyone else feel like they are still hungry when they actually had enough food? i guess i wasn't full like i am when i have oatmeal or oat bran.

Well I'm off to go do some crafts with magazines while the boy has band practice
Have a great day!!

What else should i do? i want to be more productive and not sitting on my comp for hours or watching tv for hours.

Alright on to the food...
 Last night i wanted pasta but there was no pasta in sight but there was
  • 2 Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan boca patties 
  • marinara sauce
  • ricotta chesse 

and for some reason i got the munchies  so i munched on
  • an ice bar
  • spoonful of zoey's pb chocolate milkshake
  • spoon of ice cream
  • half a piece of toast with toasted marsh mellow
  • ice tea
  • a bite of pizza crust 
haha yea this is what happens when i cant make up my mind, i find humor in it.

YOGA
This morning i woke up and did another INTENSE yoga class from YOGATODAY.COM. it was the "transforming fear into courage and self confidence" lots of chaturangas, downward dogs, lots of arm strength. They also introduced hand and headstands( i can not do these yet but its something to work on) it was an hour long i really enjoyed this one a lot and cant wait to master it!  
this class like all their classes (all about an hour long) was $3.99. Compare that to DVD's you buy for $15 for 30min sessions

Brekkie 
was overnight oat bran

  • 1/3 cup oat bran
  • 1/3cup water
  • 2/3 cup almond milk
  • spoonful of okios Greek vanilla yogurt
  • Tsp of vanilla
  • sprinkle of sweetener
  • 1/3 smooshed banana
All of those soaked overnight in the morning i added
  • chopped up dried cherries
  • 1 TBSP of melted WCW peanut butter
  • colorful sprinkles for a nice touch and a lil crunch
At first i wasn't sure if i liked it but after adding he pb i fell in love. This is the perfect brekkie for a hot morning.
