Winner winner veggie-pasta dinner!

November 11, 2009

Before I announce the winner, I’m going to talk about the second half of my day. I know torture right? At least this is a blog and not “The Biggest Loser”..you can just scroll down to find out the winner ;) .

For my pre-cleaning fuel:

Smooothie time!

  • One banana
  • Flax
  • Amazing Grass
  • Strawberries, Mango, blue berries
  • Quarter cup of Chobani 0% plain greek yogurt
  • As much spinach as I could stuff into the magic bullet. It sounds like death since I have been making all those smoothies..oops!   
  • Some of this: IMG_0648.JPG Yummm!

It was perfectly yummy and creamy. Looove me some smoothies! I also had a small bowl of booty! Pirate’s booty that is..

After my snack, we began the dreadful task of cleaning! Due to us both working forty hours a week..cleaning seems to be a minor priority. In honesty, it’s a huge priority but we often let tiredness and other duties take over and our apartment becomes a mess! It doesn’t help that we live in a one bedroom and it seems that many things just don’t have a place. Well, it’s now clean! I swear we had so many dirty clothes, I didn’t realize we had that many items of clothing between the two of us. This is the laundry that never ends..yes it goes on and on and on and on……

Well, you get the idea ;)

When we got towards the end, Adam started dinner. I love the smell of garlic and onion cooking..mmmmmmm! He made farfalle pasta with diced tomatoes, veggies, garlic, and what was left of a small hunk of mozzy cheese.

Yuuuuhhh-hum!

It helps that I married a man whose nickname in college was “Chef Adam”. He even has a chef coat that says “Chef Adam” on it.

His and hers. He used the big bowl, I used our small square plates!

I had have an Arnold’s sandwich thin with some smart balance and raw garlic..yummm!

A glass of some 2005 Grotta Rosa Carignano Del Sulcis.
Adam got this Italian bottle at a “Last bottle sale” at our local Wine Styles. It was tres yummmay! There’s another half-glass sitting in front of me that I may sip on a little, but probably won’t finish.
For dessert..about 100 calories of pumpkin pie ice cream…

I love how this little dish makes the portion size seem so much more satisfying! ;)
I could tell how small the amount of veggies I have been consuming is. My body is majorly craving them! Which is great. :) I aim to please.
Okay okay, now on to the fun part..the winner of my first giveaway! Yay!

Definitely honey flavored with granola crumbles. Yum!
Congratulations Cindy! Send me your address and Chobani will send your box of goodness to you. :)
Now I’m just finishing up the night..
Did anyone see Biggest Loser tonight? They mentioned LaraBars! How awesome! Intense episode though!
Okay..I’m OFF TO SLEEP! Oh and remember how Twitter was down for me? After much frustration with Twitter and how they like to “fix” things by not fixing them, I made a new account. So follow me on Twitter! :)
Goodnight, sleep tight!
Katy
