Who've Dunk?

So, yes it is St. Patrick's day, and, while I'm supposed to be all gamed out to go party (which I may or may not be...), I have some choice words about my newest Dunkin' Donuts discovery.

Anyone who's EVER been to Dunks with me knows that I'm a fan of the egg white flatbread, but also knows that I'm not such a fan of the flat bread part of that whole business.  Today, as I approached the drive thru I thought, huh, I wonder if they'd just give me two of the egg patty's (see I fit patty in here somewhere...) with cheese.  So, I drove up and made this odd request in the following manner, "Yeah, um, hi, so I have kind of a weird order, but can I get a turkey sausage egg white flat bread but instead of the bread can I just get to of the eggs w/ cheese in the middle?"  The response, "Sure".  Awesome.  SUCH a good decision.  I threw some salsa on this and called it an awesome day :)

Cool.

Wonton drama

So I learned a few valuable lessons I would like to share with you all today.

1.) When draining a can of tuna, aim the can away to avoid an unplanned wardrobe redo.  That being said tuna salad stuffed peppers made with some hummus are an AWESOME healthy lunch.

2.) Don't leave your sunroof open...especially if it's going to rain (oops!)  That being said there is something inexplicably wonderful about driving with the windows down and the sunroof open even if it is only March.

3.) Even if both of the above things happen before 9am, it does not have to wreck your whole day.  Keep things in perspective.

Keep on keepin' on :)

Just keep swimming...

The experience of starting this blog is proving to be harder than I thought.  Being someone that is in constant chatter mode, it is difficult to put things here as they occur and then...well....I forget them. 

This brings up an interesting question.  If I can barely track the things that I say, how can I expect others to?

Right?

Ponder.

Roll the ball and drop the dice...

So after a long bout with the flu, I came back to life this weekend.  With that, comes this pearl of wisdom...go out....have fun....occasionally. 

And if you are going to indulge in what I will call the 2 am garbage disposal...resist.   Try eating something small and healthy....close your eyes and most likely your desire to devour bickfords will pass.

I promise to swallow my hypocrisy burger with a side of food hangover that I'm still working on from not following my own advice the other night...

Dominos....not the pizza

Quick thought on this Friday....

"You change the angle of one domino....and they all fall differently"

Chew on that....

breaking my own rules...

So I guess if I make the rules...then I don't necessarily have to follow them...right?  So tonight I'm not writing about something new foodwise that I've done/discovered, but my go to breakfast is SO easy that I thought it'd be a good place to start.

All you need is eggbeaters and a frozen veggie burger (use your favorite kind).  In the morning, I put the veggie burger in a tupperware.  Then I shake up the egg beaters and pour them in with the burger.  I usually eyeball it, but it ends up being roughly 2/3 of a cup.  After a very quick prep, I pop it in the microwave for 4-5 mins...go do something else, and by the time I get back it's done!

I usually eat it as a frittata, but you could also pop it in a flat bread, skinny bagel or whole wheat wrap.  It's super low maintenance and easy to take on the go.

Give it a whirl and let me know what you think :)
