Happy Wednesday! I do have lots of food pics to put up but I thought I would post something different today.Milee and I at home! Milee doesn't mind me holding her after I am done at the pool I think she loves the smell of chlorine as she always rubs on me after I get off the pool

Ahh this is how it looks like, it is quite sweet I love this fruit I think it belongs to the Lychee family.

There is a seed inside. DO NOT EAT THE SEED

Oh I forgot to mention I bought pineapple sausages at the farmers market as well. I had it with egg beaters, and Toast with Pumpkin pecan butter

Closer look of this delicious sausage its my first time trying it and I love it!

I took some frozen vegetables and my favorite frozen shrimp scampi from Costco and cooked it together had it with rice. I wanted to show u the package but I can't at the moment my batter died! I had it with some rice. I didn't use most of the scampi sauce of course as its too much!

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Good Eats Part 2

2009-09-25T23:52:00.000-07:00

Hey all of you! I just want to let you all know that even though I been busy all week with my unpacking (finally got everything off the POD) every morning before leaving, I spend some time to read your blogs even though I have not commented on some lately. It is such a stress release believe it or not! So thank you all!

I have alot of food pics coming up but thought I would share what I been having this past week or so I am too lazy to put it in order lol!

My all time favorite Indian Roti Pratha I just love this bread I used to have it for breakfast all the time growing up in Singapore. So you can imagine my joy when I found it at the India Market in Hawaii. I have not had this in over a year as they do not have it in Ashland.

Some fruits as a snack! Papaya and Watermelon!

Can't go without some cake right! One of my all time favorite Strawberry Shortcake

Sesame Bread from Safeway yum!

More edible flowers salad

My favorite Kashi Cereal with Chia

Picture of my big cup side view it only cost me $0.25 at the rummage sale.

Ohhhhhh this is becoming one of my favorite burger. There is this place in Hawaii called Burger on the Edge. It opened up 2 years ago but I didn't bother going as all I heard was how expensive it was. However 2 weekends ago my gf wanted to go there and I got this for $6.99 one of the cheaper prices. You can make your own burger too. This one is called Thai-riffic! It has beef , crispy onions, mushrooms and a sweet chilli sauce it was DELICIOUS!

Last but not least, one of my favorite take out breakfast! The Breakfast Quesadilla, I had it with a little bit of cheese, eggs, asparagus, and spinach along with some potatoes on the side!

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. My next project is opening my boxes that has all my cookbooks and others.

Good Eats Part.1

2009-09-19T19:06:00.000-07:00

Happy Weekend all my fellow bloggers. Oh my goodness I have had such a busy week moving back home means buying all the necessities again! This coming week is going to be worse as my stuff from Oregon will be arriving on Monday and that is going to take me a while to deal with oh joy! I have decided to break my post into 3 parts as I do have lots of pictures to share.

The other night I went to my friend Jenn's house to watch True Blood she recorded the last episode for me I didn't have time to deal with my cable yet ugh.

Before dinner, she cut up this mango I have to say it is one of the most delicious mangoes that I have had in a long while her brother from Maui gave it to her! This pic only shows half the mango I hate the 2ND part as well!

The picture doesn't look good but its super delicious she made Chicken Adobo with rice! I was totally loving it!

Today I went to Umeke Market. I love their deli food. I got a Tuna Melt which is as good as I remembered it.

I also got my all time favorite "detox" soup its just alot of vegetables and I have no idea what other stuff they put in it. I got a big one to go I had half of it saving the other half for later!

Dinner Today!

2009-09-12T23:22:00.000-07:00

Hope all of you are having a great weekend so far! Well I had a busy day buying stuff like food of course! Sad to say I really need to change some of my regular food as it cost double the price in Hawaii!

Green Tea

Roast Chicken and some mash potatoes it looks really plain but oh so good!

Farmer's Market

2009-09-12T12:35:00.001-07:00

So I went to the farmer's market . I must say this I am so used to the small population in Ashland that I was a little overwhelmed by the people at the farmer's market. Not a good pic here but this is just the enterance! I was not able to take much pics of the stalls as it was just too packed with people.

Ahhh but I got to buy what I wanted!

Edible flowers
Radishes
Papayas
Mixed greens
Hot chilli pepper

Aloha

2009-09-12T10:18:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday! I am finally back in the Islands for good! Ahhh home sweet home! Thought I would share a pic of the beach that is walking distance from my house. Now I am going to get ready to walk to the Saturday's farmers market can't wait to show you all what I bought!

Happy Wednesday!

2009-08-26T08:50:00.000-07:00

I hope all of you are starting your day off well!
As I am trying to clear my food in the house during my last 17 days here, I still need to get some other stuff too! Check it out!

- Chia Powder I normally get the seeds but decided to try the powder. I am going to buy an extra bag to bring home with me!
- Green Iced tea
-Kombucha!
- Ice Cream
- Baby Buk Choy
- EZ Muffins
- Thai Kitchen Tom Kah Soup (I love it)
- Pomgran Waffles
- Ham for sandwich
- Gold Fish it was too cute to pass off
- Wallaby Yogurt.

Had this for breakfast today I forgot there isn't anymore syrup so this is how I ate it!

One side with one egg and a little cheese! The other with chocolate peanut butter. I think this pomgran waffle will be a regular in my freezer its so good one of the best frozen waffles I ever had! Do you have a favorite waffle brand?

I'm Back!

2009-08-24T14:45:00.000-07:00

No....... I didn't ditch blogging. I have been really really busy packing Inventory mostly and some personal belongings to the pod that is going to Hawaii! After that I had to deal with Milee's (my cat) documentation and that got a little messed up so I had to change my flight. Instead of leaving on the 2ND now I am leaving on the 11Th. If I leave earlier than the 11Th, Milee will have to be quarantined which I think will be unfair to her!!

Well now all of that is taken care of! I am back with a vengence!!!!!!! I just wanted to also let you know that even though I have not been blogging, I have been reading your blogs even though I have not commented lately! That about to change too!

As I was moving things to the pod I have to say I ate alot of junk, Applebees, Macdonalds, Arbys yes I can feel you all having a heart attack lol! The good news is I been buring so much calories with the pod I didn't gain any weight.

Now I am back on schedule with real good eats!

I had this for lunch and probalby will have it for dinner as well.

As you know I love this brand of frozen food I am telling you if you have had it you got to try it!!

I ate half of my lasagna here is a pic of it. This is my first time trying their lagsana and it didn't disappoint me at all. It was a little salty but not in a bad way I guess I was expecting it to be bland thats why. If it ever goes on sale in Hawaii I am buying some again thats for sure!

The other half still in the orginal package lol!

After that I had some watermelons yum! Do you have a favorite brand of frozen food?

Can You Guess???

2009-08-12T20:39:00.001-07:00

Sorry I have not blogged my food in a while I been so busy but I have taken lots of pictures I will put it up soon!! Here is a little something that is not food related. I went on a little day trip today can you guess where I went?

Oh La La!

2009-08-01T10:01:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday! I woke up really early today and decided to go and get me some good eats! Nothing beats sitting in a nice place with a book don't you agree? Now here is what I got!

Breakfast croissant with eggs, cheese, avocado, tomato and spinach. Here is the best part usally it is eggs with breakfast meat which is really good but really give you that fatty and oily feeling and way too salty. So I requested for vegetables in place for the meat and I was surprise when she told me I can add whatever I want and for the same price! Now what I was most surprised about was the amount of avocado that was given to me ha I think I got as much as I did tomato usually it would be the lesser don't you think? All this only cost $5.99

Here it is as sandwich form. So before leaving the place I decide to take some pics of the pastries they sell there they are quite well known for it. The pics are not too good as the glass keeps reflecting back.

See this is how I got chunky winter time lol but it was so worth it for a bit don't you agree?

Happy Eating!

2009-07-24T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hey all of you hope all is well! I am back to posting hopefully on a more regular basis!

On to the eats! I been craving SPAM lately I know gross but I love it so I went out and got a can! I sliced one up into thin slices put in on some left over cesar salad with low carb tortilla!

It was super yummy!

Today I had quite a workout I went to the YMCA and did the ran/walked the trademill for half hour sweated quite a bit then head down to the pool and had a good swim for about 45 minutes.

Came back was super hungry!

Made a really good snack!

Chobani Vanilla Yogurt with some raspberry and peaches mixed together. It was so refreshing.

Ha but an hour or so later I was starving! So I made this. I got this pasta at Costco. I had a sample and just had to get it!

One serving is 300 calories not too bad I had more vegetables on the side I accidently deleted the picture on my camera!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I Wish..

I love...

2009-07-13T14:20:00.000-07:00

Yogurt Hut! Omg I am so in love with this place they just opened up last month I think. The place is totally self service! Your pick your flavor of yogurt then you pick all the toppings you want. I didn't dare to ask if I could take of the place inside lol. They have so many toppings its not even funny ranges from nuts, cereal, fruits, all kinds of chocolates, gummy bears, cookies oh boy! They charge you 39 cents per oz so you have to make sure you don't over do it!

I had raspberry yogurt topped with strawberries, kiwi, mango, chocolate fudge and heath bar!

Here is how it looks half way through. I paid $5.25 for mine.

Bagelicious

2009-07-12T11:50:00.000-07:00

There is this little shop nearby thats called Little Shop of Bagels. Now I have been in Ashland for almost a year and this is my first time venturing there. Boy what a waste of a year I should have gone earlier I love this place. Now the reason why I have not gone there earlier is that I did try 3 times 2x it was too busy and another time it was closed.

Here is their sign isn't it lovely!

Ahhh I got a veggie bagel on sesame bagel. It is packed with tofu pate, sprouts, cucumber, red onion, greens, tomato and tons of avocado!

Here is top view

Here it is opened.

I love my meal so much I went back and got this! It is again sesame bagel with Mexican cheese spread as you can see its loaded with peppers it was quite spicy yummy! I wanted to get the sprouted bagel but they were already out of stock

As you can see this week has been packed with loads of carbs!

What a lovely sunny day. Not much to do this week thankgoodness. So yesterday I went to Market of Choice and look at those big balls! Can you guess what they are? They are so big I actually asked the girl helping me if that really is what it is as usual I get the "stone" face look and she say if it say it is then it is what a dumb ass!

Well the answer is Falafel I don't know about you but those are the biggest ones that I have seen! Did any of you guess correctly? I only got 2 just to make sure it taste alright. As you can see on my plate I was lucky enough to get some quinoa summer salad oh those are so popular at the deli and i had some garlic mashed potatoes oooooh Delicious!

Balls on the inside not too shabby huh.

Anyone from the East Coast would know this treat as they do not sell it anywhere else I think!

I think I ate the whole box myself not at one sitting of course lol!

Its so bad for you thats why it taste so good its like a big giant twinkie but not as greasy.

I had a major big craving for ham and cheese sandwich so I made myself one with spinach, laughing cow cheese and ham of course on sprouted bread!

Ahhh I made this the other day for breakfast. It is middle eastern flat bread with cheese, avocado and eggs. I stupidly put the avo under the eggs so you can't see it.

Oh Lovely Books!

2009-06-03T18:53:00.001-07:00

Hello all of you! Sorry I have not post anything in a while but I did take lots of food pic the last few days. I been so busy and kinda stressed so I wasn't in the mood to post. However, today I am much better and what put me in a even better mood is getting this from UPS today!

I entered the Giveaway Contest on http://www.baseballbakingandbooks.com/ and won these two wonderful books! I am so excited to receive it. Thank You so much Ingrid. If you have not gone to her blog omg you got to go and check it out!

Now I just had a thought and would love your opinion on this. I was looking at the Food Lover's Companion book and was wondering if I should randomly pick a word and tell you all what it means according to the book. I mean this is like the food dictionary its pretty cool. I think it would be fun to share the "food" ,"drink" or "food machine" word along with post of the day. What do you think? Let me know if you would like that.

Oh I was looking at the Martha Book as well oh dear me I want to eat the book lol! I am going to try and make something from the book soon maybe this weekend or next weekend. Can't wait!

Thanks again Ingrid!

Weekend Has Arrived.

2009-05-30T10:29:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday! I never really cared whether the weekend is coming or not as I normally do not have a very hectic day. This week however was bad! Having bad sleeps thanks to the cat, rushing to get work done and with the super hot weather at 100 degrees wasn't exactly a joy. Yesterday was a killer day ugh!

Well to start off my Saturday Monday, I decided to make french toast with Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin bread.

I just mixed an egg and some milk. It looks like its burnt but it is not this bread is darker in color and the really dark spots you see are the raisins. I cannot wait for the day I can take great food pictures like all of you do!

Now on to yesterday's eats since I was so lazy to post it yesterday. After my 60 min spin class, I figured I would combine breakfast and lunch as I got home at around 11am

I made a wrap. Low carb tortilla, Cole slaw as a spread some greens on top and tada the chipole chicken. Now why did I used Cole slaw well you see I was in the mood for a little chicken and a little slaw so I decided to buy it at the deli and turn in into a wrap kill 2 birds with one stone!

This is how it looks like wrapped up again I really need to work on making it pretty don't I.

Well since it was so hot today I just was not in the mood to cook so I decided to get Mexican food!

Chimichanga with rice and beans

Drank this to wash down my chimi!

OK dinner was not the healthiest eats but it definitely did the job of making me happy!

To Hot To Handle

2009-05-28T19:34:00.001-07:00

OMG it is sooooooooo hot today! I didn't have a very productive day due to the heat it made me really lazy. Now I can tell tell the difference Hawaiian heat and Mainland heat!

Anyway on to my eats! I was out and about this morning and was not in the mood to come back home to cook so I went to subway and got the double bacon and cheese with flat bread. This is my 3rd time getting this and totally love it as I can add veges to it. I added sweet peppers, cucumber, and something else I forgot lol.

It is not a very good pic as I was too hungry to make it pretty but honestly its so big and delicious.

Here is my afternoon snack some watermelon, pretzels, and chocolate bits

It was so hot I made a emergen-C drink to hydrate

This is how i like to eat my snack!

Dinner I made eggplant Parmesan again!

Sophia a fellow blogger requested for a pic before and so here is how it looked cooked. Not pretty but super good.

I put some on garlic toast oh so delicious!!!

Dessert half a cupcake given by Barbara it super sweet no wonder she only ate half I didn't eat the icing too much for me

Hey check out the giveaways here http://blueskyworld.wordpress.com/ I love her blog!

Lazy Wednesday

2009-05-27T20:52:00.000-07:00

Well not so lazy I just feel so tired from yesterday's work. I hardly did anything today.
I went to the 75 min spin class. It was really hard for me to get up and get out the door today as I was still feeling so tired.

I was glad that I went to class though I was so hungry when I got back home I made this for breakfast/lunch.

Sprouted Bagel one with Rhubarb jelly, the other with avocado. 2 eggs with cheese and tomato's.

I got the Rhubarb jelly at the farmers market its my first time trying it. Its not too bad.

Ahh dinner I made tofu and had it with hoisin sauce. I know this plate doesn't make it look attractive but its my favorite plate right now. I wish tofu was more colorful so do it justice.

Good news I have 5 more lbs to lose to be at my happy weight!

Tuesday's Dinner!

2009-05-26T18:05:00.000-07:00

Oh gosh what a busy busy day! Finally the day is over!! I was so hungry I couldn't decide what to eat. I thought to myself either cook something at home or go get subway "closest place to me"
I chose eating in and boy am I glad I did look what I made! I had one more wholewheat nann bread left and some stuff in the refrigerator that I wanted to eat up.

1 Nann Bread Wholewheat
Few slices of yellow pepper
Few slices of tomatoes
Spoonful of black beans
Few slices of onion
Shredded cheese

Put it all on the Nann Bread and bake in the oven at 400 for about 15 to 20 minutes! I ate it all that how good it was. I didn't even add in any extra sauce it was tasty just the way it was.

What did you eat?

More Eats!

2009-05-25T19:07:00.000-07:00

Since I had a late Breakfast, I decided to have this chocolate filled pastry for afternoon tea!

Oh look what I had for dinner! I made mini burgers!

Nothing to it I just cooked up ground beef had it with sweet Hawaiian roll added a little Dijon to it. Made some frozen fries in the oven garlic and onion flavor! I can honestly say this meal cost me less than $3!

Happy Monday!

2009-05-25T12:24:00.000-07:00

OMG look at what I found at the farmer's market yesterday! This lady makes Lavender Cheese! I tried a sample and totally loved it. So naturally I bought one! It was suppose to be $9.40 but she was having a farmer's market special for $7!

Made a plate of snacks for myself. This includes, lavender cheese, some chips, glazed pecans ( I wanted to buy glazed walnuts but didn't see any) and lastly plum!

Spam-O-Licious!

2009-05-22T12:16:00.000-07:00

-Bread of Your choice
- Spam Lite (70 less calories then the original)
-Peanut Butter on one side of the bread
-Mayo lite on the other bread
- Eggs
-Lettuce

Normally there is no lettuce or onions but I decided to add it in today. It sounds nasty right but honestly the combination is great.

Clean Eating

2009-05-21T20:49:00.000-07:00

Ok I am not so bitchy anymore lol!

Look what I bought!

Love this magazine it has such simple recipes if you love food magazines you got to get this one!

They have a very easy Black Bean, Avocado & Chicken wrap. I changed my chicken to the Quorn

Chik'let as I was not in the mood for real chicken.

What you need is

- Chicken if you going to use it

- Avocado (smashed)

- Black Beans (lightly mashed)

- Salsa

- Tortilla

mix salsa and avocado together

put the mixture into a tortilla

add the beans then the chicken

You are done!

Here is how it looks wrapped up! It was really delicious! You notice I didn't put any measurements for the ingredients this is because I only made one I was not so hungry and so I just estimated how much I wanted of each and put it together.

What do you think worth trying?

Remedies for PMS

Bad Kitty = Good Big Breakfast

2009-05-19T10:27:00.000-07:00

I had one of the worst sleeps ever last night thanks to this CAT! See how she is being ashamed of herself now for her behavior! She should be covering her face! I was sleeping last night and she decided she wanted attention at 2am, 4am and 6am ughhhh! Guess who is having the most wondrous sleep at the moment not me! Milee is!

She is still my pretty kitty though lol!

Bad sleep but still woke up hungry! Look what I made whole wheat nann bread with 1 laughing cow, 2 eggs, some spinach and tomatoes

Here is how it looks like as I fold it to eat it! High calorie but GOOD calories in my opinion.

What do you think?

Too Hot To Enjoy

2009-05-18T23:26:00.000-07:00

OMG it was almost 100 degrees today! As much as I prefer the heat to winter gosh that is just too hot! Now I know why Hawaii is considered paradise nice weather almost all the time around 80 degrees!

Decided to try a breakfast place that I have not been to and this is what I got oh so Delicious yummy!

Spotted a dear I never had a chance to take picture of them till today! I know most of you have seen it plenty of times but not me!

Is it posing or wondering what I am doing?

Starting to look annoyed!

It lost interest in me!

Got some of this today. It is called soy curls.

Not getting it again! It was so bland thank goodness I only got a little handful of it to try.

Sunday Delights!

2009-05-17T08:24:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday hope all of you are having a great day! Ahhh its so sunny I simply love it! Well look what I had for breakfast!

Got this at Market Of Choice yesterday Fruit Continentals and in the middle is a Caramel Nut Continental. I think thats what they call it.

Followed by a drink of Kombucha!

I didn't finish all the pasties yet! My plan is to go to yoga class after blogging then later this afternoon I am going to go see "Angels and Demons". What are you doing today?

I Don't Need It But I Want It!

2009-05-16T18:40:00.001-07:00

So I went ahead and bought it anyway. These are terrible pictures I kept trying to take better ones but it just got worse!

Got this cute box at Michaels I just love it!

This is how it looks inside

This is the side view of it closed

I just had to show you what it says on the box.

Got this DVD for only $5 can't say no to that!

Sorry no food pic today but tomorrow there will be for sure! Happy Saturday to all of you!

Yummy Noodles!

2009-05-13T19:55:00.001-07:00

Happy Wednesday! Well I am back to normal now and the eating begins I had Burger King for lunch hehehe but never mind that look what I had for dinner!

I got this noodle recipe from http://theasiangrandmotherscookbook.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/somen-salad-tasty/

I changed it little though here is my version.

I bought this whole wheat Soba which by the way is super tasty!

Sauce for my noodle sorry I took the pic at the last minute not too attractive.

Ingredients

1/8 cup oil

1 1/2 TBS rice vinegar

1 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

1 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoons sugar

Salt

1tbs toasted sesame seed

Combine all ingredients in a jar with a screw-top lid. Screw top on. Shake well. As you can see I used a takeout container instead to shake it up.

Shred some lettuce, cook up 1 egg roll it up and cut it up cooked the noodles, added some beef and lastly mixed in the sauce.

What do you think? The original version looks much prettier of course. I had 2 bowls and still have quite a bit of left overs! I made only for 1 person.

I know I already mentioned earlier that the wheat noodle is tasty but honestly give it a try you won't even notice the difference!

Simple Comfort Food

2009-05-12T08:30:00.000-07:00

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is feeling better than I do. I am still not 100% yet ugh!

Anyway yesterday I made this rice soup for 2 reasons
1 - I needed something simple comforting and not oily
2 - I needed to get rid of my vegetables

so I cooked up some rice ones the rice is almost done I added some corn, green peas, bella mushroom, tomatoe and buk choy. Not much seasoning I just put some soy sauce.

On a lighter note I AM TAN AGAIN YEAH!

Happy Sunny Sunday!

2009-05-10T09:52:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday all my lovely bloggers! Sorry I have not posted in a while I been busy and then I got a little sick the past 2 days. I think I ate something that didn't sit well with me. I feeling slightly better today.!

Before showing some pictures, I would like to wish all ladies a Happy Mother's Day!

My breakfast is something really small and simple.

A strawberry danish and some grapes ahh you know I am not feeling too good if that is all I am eating this morning lol!

Ohhhhhhh I love this picture! I took this yesterday. The weather was so nice I opened up my bedroom door so Milee can enjoy some sun. Look behind the screen door the peacocks came to visit and one of them is enjoying the sun with her. Its great to see the peacocks around again they have not come by for a while.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

2009-05-05T21:23:00.000-07:00

Happy Tuesday oh I know this post is so late! I am watching the biggest loser and posting at the same time!

Well I bought this not long ago and I love it! I use it to make grill cheese and sometimes to make eggs you will see how my eggs turn out below. My only complaint is I wish it was a bigger size then again what do I expect it cost only $9.99!

My breakfast! Sprouted bread with jelly, 2 turkey bacon and I had eggbeaters mixed with some cheese! I cooked the eggs with my new little toy! Not too bad huh

I was gonna get chimichanga for lunch instead I got Camarones a la Diabla its really more sauce than anything else. It has shrimp and mushroom cook in this hot sauce along with rice n beans. I had lots of sauce left behind so I am sure my calories didn't kill me. It was good but I must say the one at my favorite Mexican restaurant in Hawaii is still the best HINT HINT I want to eat there again when I go back to Hawaii

I love this Hawaiian Roll it was on sale $1 I got to get it!!!

Oh my new favorite I bought this Toby's Tofu Dip and ooooh delicious I had it with my roll. It is only 40 calories per serving!

Have any of you tried this? This is also another first time try and I love it actually oh gosh it taste like chicken hehehe! I think the calories are a little high it is 200 calories for one piece.

I had one piece with some of my roasted vegetables and some potatoes. I know the potatoes look so dull and uncooked but believe me it was cooked I had it with ketchup

What did you all eat? I know a certain someone is going to make cookies for dinner lol!

Yummy Veggies!

2009-05-03T12:23:00.001-07:00

So rain rain rain all morning! I decided not to let the gloom get to me and make myself some colorful eats!

I marinated some brussel sprouts, onions, orange and red pepper along with some potatoes. I just used olive oil, chilli peppers and paprika as my sauce. I was too lazy
to cook it last night so I let it sit in the refrigerator over night. This is a picture of it before been cooked.

Here it is in the oven after 25 min at 375 degrees.

Warmed up some low carb tortilla added hoisin sauce put the veggies and a few slices of chicken topped with cheese!

I managed to not mess it up here is a pic of it after I cut it in half looks good doesn't it.

Here are my left overs for later today. I still have more that is not cooked yet. I really like this dish that I made and I am sure you me posting about it more often. Next time instead of chicken I am going to use something else hmm tofu maybe!

Saturday Delights

2009-05-03T09:56:00.000-07:00

Kiwi and Bananas yum!

100 calorie pop corn I could have easily eaten 1000 calories of it.

Ahh didn't want to get drunk so got this light wine cooler

Naughty eats! Boston Cream Cake yum!

Side view of the cake

Milee as usual laying on my favorite blanket this kitty has expensive taste!

Simple Eats!

2009-05-02T09:33:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday! Hope all of you are having nice weather at your area! Well These past few days I have been a little on a funk the weather is gloomy again! On Wednesday I went to see Death of a King's Horse Man. I loved it, at first I was kind of confused as to what was going on as I have not read the book at all however, it soon made sense I even got a little teary eyed in the end lol!

Before seeing the play I went to this resturant called Harpers I love this place they have great breakfasts and they serve it till 3pm. This is what I got

Eggs with white Cheddar Cheese, roasted sweet and regular potato with red pepper and bacon! All these for only $7.75. It was suppose to be $6.75 but I added cheese so it cost more! The eggs looks like its alot right but believe it or not its only 2 eggs there and I was so full after this meal.

Friday before going to spin class I was starving so I made eggs with ham, green onions, tomatos and cheese. Not sure if I mentioned this before but breakfast is my favorite meal!

Ahhh I had this for lunch yesterday it looks so plain I know but its soooo delicious. Its garlic and roasted ravioli and the sauce I used is something I bought back with me from Hawaii.

This is the brand of Ravioli I got I ate one serving of it. I can't wait to go back to the store and buy more of it.

Milee enjoying looking out the window on one of those sunny days that we had last week or so.

Quick question as you all know I am not the best cook in town! Anyway I bought some bella mushrooms and I was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestion on how to cook it or what to cook it with.

More Eats from the Weekend and Today!

2009-04-28T19:38:00.000-07:00

Hey hey! Well this time I have loaded up all the decent looking pictures that I have taken the last few days.

This was one of my snacks waffles with yummy dark chocolate peanutbutter its so delicious!

Had this yesterday for a snack been snacking quite a bit as you can see I love this yogurt!

My favorite frozen spring rolls I am telling you these are so good and low calorie!

Here it is out of the box cooked I don't use the sauce instead I use my favorite hot sauce!

Here is something new I tried now as you know I love the Eggplant from this particular company BUT I must say this Orange Chicken is extremely uninspirational!

This is how it looked cooked out of the box meh.. It left me wanting to go get some at a chinese resturant you know the ones with zillion of calories.

Oh tomrrow I am going to see another play "Death of a King's Horseman" I am quite looking forward to it and also I am going to a resturant to eat before the play I already plan to have the breakfast they serve there its so good will show you the pics tomrrow!!!!

Hey figured I will do another post today I can't help it I go to post what I ate today! Now before I go on about food just wanted to let you guys know I started reading another book I got at the library. It is Lydia Bennet's Story. It is her version on what happens in her life. She is the stupid sister of Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. I already read a few chapters she is still stupid lol!

Now after boring you with that lets move on to my eats!

I was so bad I went out and got a big fat breakfast I ate all and left one sausage behind it was really good but I didn't feel too great after eating it :(

I only drank half of this Kombucha today it is the grape flavor oh so good!

Well I had alot of junk today picture not shown! So for dinner I made veggie stirfry and had it with cous cous.

I figured I will show the sauce I use to make my stir fry this sauce is good but not something I will go on and on about. What sauces do you all use any recommendation. I am not into sauces that are high in ginger flavor thats why I chose this one.

Have a good evening can't wait to see what you all ate!

2009-03-27T21:25:00.000-07:00

Ahh here is what I had today!

- Kombucha I am getting quite addicted to this drink each time I go to the store I buy at least 2 or 3 bottles!

- Breakfast I decided to have some Kashi Honey Sunrise mixed with Puffin Puffs Peanut and added some little chocolate bits to it with milk along with some oranges.

- Lunch ( No picture too shameful to mention it)

- Snacked on some Cliff Bar after working out I love this flavor problem is I got hungry for more lol!

- Dinner I finished up some of the left over Tom Kah Soup from Thai Kitchen I love that brand!

Well this time I decided to mix my hoisin sauce on the tofu before lightly frying it well honestly it tasted the same but not as crunchy I guess didn't put enough corn starch on it this time but it was still super yum. Had that along side with some stir fry and low carb tortilla oh and my left over barley salad.

- Kiwi one of my favorite fruits isn't it pretty!

Another shameful note not pictured as well had quite a few handfuls of kettle chips today eeeeeks.

Well Spring is here and the last few days we had fantastic weather until today! The weather went crazy I decided to take some pics and small videos to show you. This was all done within 45 min range. Top Picture is how it looks after it snowed! Middle pic is while it was snowing.

The top video is when it was snowing and the bottom video is sunny and not snowing anymore! I guess the weather can't decide what it really wants to do today lol!

On a happier note I love how the flowers are blooming again isn't it pretty!

Food Today

2009-03-22T14:21:00.000-07:00

I love this coconut juice! I brought a whole case all the way from Hawaii! Why you ask because it is double the price here in Ashland OR!

For lunch I had this pasta I bought it at Target long time ago and didn't go about eating it till now. It was ok the sauce and capers was great but the dry olive sucked. I am not going to buy it again becauseI am really trying to cut down on these kind of food and cook more. Gosh I have no idea how I am going to do that as I still have 2 cases or asian ramen waiting to be eaten!

Lastly I bought this Prana bar a few days ago while grocery shopping I must say it is really tasty!

Amy's Soup and Magazines

2009-03-19T20:55:00.000-07:00

I tried the Amy's Mushroom Soup today. It is good but it didn't wow me maybe it was "too healthy " hehehe.

Now see all those magazines I have! I used to buy only Glamour , Elle and etc. I even bought stuff that the Magazine say "I have to have".

I got bored with it and switched to these which is so much more worth reading however, I am such a "poser" I only buy and read and hardly ever do anything about it. Especially the Better Home and Garden magazine I love it but gosh its sooo not me! Does that make sense? Do any of you do that?

Dinner Tonight

2009-03-17T19:04:00.000-07:00

After My "Meaty" lunch, I just didn't have it in me to have any more meat that night. So I cooked up this stir fry warm up some low carb tortilla put hoisin sauce on it and wrapped it up. The end result is SO DELICIOUS! I think this meal is going to be in my regular list of things to make! I seriously thought it was going o be crappy but it wasn't at all and this brand as shown above their combination for chinese sir fry is right one and taste fresh! I had 2 by the way lol!

Mini Frittatas and PB with Caramel Chunks

2009-03-14T19:28:00.000-07:00

Sometime last week I was watching the Everyday Italian and I just had to try to make this. Mine looks nothing like it did on tv because mainly I poured the eggs too high up the next time I do a better job I will post the picture! I have to say it is sooooo delicious!! I only put parsley on some as I wasn't sure how I would like it next time I am going to put parsley on all of them and really follow instructions! Here is the recipe if you want to try it out. Go to http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/mini-frittatas-recipe/index.html to get a much better picture than what I did.

Here is the recipe you should try it out if you like eggs and it doesn't take long at all!

Mini Frittatas

Nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray

8 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Comfort Food and New Tea

2009-03-12T21:26:00.000-07:00

I am not feeling too good today a little sick blah blah blah. So I wanted comfort food what did I choose grill cheese sandwich with fries of course! It was so yummy!

The weather was fantastic today it was 70 degrees!! Even though I didn't feel good I was not going to stay home so I decided to go grocery shopping. One of the things I got was the Stash Premium Fusion Red & White Tea. Now I have to say I am not a big fan of fusion. In Hawaii there are a few trendy resturants that try to do this whole fusion thing. So far I have to say don't do it nothing beats the original. However, when it comes to tea, this combination is FANTASTIC I am in love with it!! If you are a tea lover give it a try!

2009-03-12T18:54:00.001-07:00

Such sad news found out the male peacock died! He has disappeard for a couple of weeks and it was only mother and son hanging at the backyard. Only today found out from a neighbor that it was "found dead" at my next door's neighbor's house. I really wonder what happened as we only found out today. Anyway I found out who they really belong to and I hope to get a hold of the owners to take them back before anything else happen but they have a really good "watch dog" can't even get out of the car!

Breakfast

2009-03-11T18:32:00.000-07:00

After spin class today I was dying of starvation! The only reason why I didn't go to the Apple Celler which is right next door is that I always make sure I go to class without my wallet so I would go home and eat half the calores of what I would actually buy outside!!

So I made 2 Eggbeater with some greens, hashbrown and a breakfast meat oh and oranges of course. I couldn't help myself I had a Coke Zero instead of tea or juice!

Spring is Here!

2009-03-10T13:55:00.000-07:00
