Clean Teeth

Its been another busy couple of days! Dinner Sunday night was leftovers from Alicia's graduation party. My mom made the mini quiches then one small flat quiche with the leftover quiche mixture so we had that plus deviled eggs, bruschetta, and crab dip.
And some fruit on the side.
Then later for dessert some leftover homemade vanilla ice cream with a homemade chocolate chip cookie warmed up in the microwave so it was all gooey and delicious.Breakfast Monday morning was fruit salad mixed up with some plain 0% Fage- delicious!
I think before lunch I mostly lounged around and caught up on the internet. Then for lunch was more leftovers! A turkey roll from Costco, some meatballs, and carrots,tomatoes, and celery with veggie dip!
After lunch I caught up on my Jon and Kate Plus 8 and The Closer episodes on the dvr while doing some random yoga poses! I wish our treadmill wasn't broken, I really wanted to run while watching everything but the treadmill is dunzo and I've tried to convince my dad to buy a new one about a bazillion times! Dinner was a roast that I put in the crockpot that morning with some garlic, soy sauce, and worcestershire sauce. We have about a bazillion slices of bread leftover from the crab dip and baguette so I made some cheesy bread inspired by the asiago puffs I made for my goodbye party in Richmond. It was about 1/2 cup of parmasaen, asiago, and romano mixture, about 3 tablespoons of mayo, 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, a teaspoon dried basil, and a teaspoon dried oregano. I mixed it all up, spread it on the bread, and broiled it until the cheese was all melty and gooey. We also had more leftover veggies and veggie dip. It was all very delicious!Then it was time for The Closer (thats why I had to watch it earlier!) and after that I took a nice long relaxing hot bath while reading my book (I'm currently reading 19 minutes by Jodi Piccolt). Then I went to bed early to wake up early for the dentist! For breakfast before the dentist I had some plain 0% Fage with a dollop of lemon curd, I'm sad all the fruit salad is gone and I had none to mix in with it. I need to get more watermelon asap because I really wanted to try making a green monster with it!
The dentist was good, my teeth are perfect no cavities! They didn't even yell at me for not flossing like they usually do and they asked if I had my teeth whitened recently (which I have not) because apparently my teeth are really white?

I got home and was starving so I made a yummy wrap to try out my new garden herb sunshine burgers! My verdict- they were better than the Morningstar Mushroom Lovers but not quite as good as the Morningstar Pizza burgers and Gardenburger Portabella burgers! I would buy these again though.

I put them in a wrap with some garlic aioli, garlic and herb cheddar, spinach, and leftover bruschetta mix (tomatoes, onions, garlic, and basil). I was about to wrap it up when I saw the leftover fresh mozzerella and decided to throw some of that in as well. It was pretty delicious! Then I went to go meet with a family to possibly babysit for, which ended up with me watching them for about 2 and a half hours and she wants me to come back Friday morning so yay for making some money. Now I'm off to eat dinner, hope everyone has a great evening.

Back Home Again

Ahh sorry for the lack of updating its been super busy this week! So Wednesday after lunch I pretty much packed and loaded up my car and did a little homework. Then for dinner I had another lasagna roll up and the last of my leftover fruit. I used an ugg box for my table hahah!

After dinner I made made sure I had everything packed up in my car. I had been craving a smoothie so I headed over to Tropical Smoothie on my way to Maggie's and got a Blimey Limey- my favorite!
Then I headed over to Maggie's and we went to three different stores in search of a logitech microphone so we can have 2 mics for High School Musical Sing it! But we had zero luck and made it back just in time for Lost! Then the next morning I woke up and had a blueberry pomegranate yogurt from Target. It was pretty good not the best and not the worst.
Then a couple hours later for lunch I had my last lasagna roll up.
Then I headed home! It took my almost an hour longer than usual because there was traffic and construction everywhere! When I finally got home I unloaded my car! I now have most of the stuff that I won't be using when I'm living at home packed in boxes and stacked up in the dining room until we find a better place to store them! Then I worked on my case study and portfolio for my tutoring class until dinner. There was not much to choose from but somehow my dad found this bertolli bag of pasta in the back of the freezer.
It was stuffed shells with a shrimp scampi sauce with little shrimpies all through the sauce. It was surprisingly good for one of these frozen bag things (which my parents buy all the time but I really hate!) My dad also made some toaster garlic bread hahaaa- this is really how little food we have in the house. We had some sourdough bread slices so my dad just tops them butter and garlic powder and the pops them in the toaster.
Then for the rest of the night I mostly worked on my case study and I'm almost done. Today I will for sure finish that and then work a little on the power point for our special needs group project for Tuesday! ahh I thought most of the big homework things were done when I turned in that 10 page paper last week but I guess I was wrong! I also at some point need to put together a portfolio of resources about teaching students with special needs in different subjects in school- if anyone knows of any websites let me know!

So I just finished eating a wonderful breakfast of my favorite cranberry orange bread and almond butter with an orange on the side!
Hope everyone has a great friday! Tonight there is a 2 hour prison break on- I'm pretty excited!!!!!

A Bazillion Books!

Today has been busy busy! My mom and I went to the grocery store and bought lots of stuff! We went to Harris Teeter because thats my mom's favorite grocery store- she doesn't like Wegmans can you believe it!!! So I'm a little sad but my sister and I have a Wegmans lunch date planned sometime this week so I know I'll get to go later! So as soon as we got back I started making dinner- Spinach and Mushroom Lasanga Roll Ups with a Gorgonzola Cream Sauce which of course I got from Rachael Ray!!! They were super easy and fun to make! Its basically cremini mushrooms, onion, garlic, spinach, and ricotta on the inside rolled up inside the lasagna noodles and covered with a sauce made from chicken stock, gorgonzola, cream, and I also added tomatoes!
Then you top them with mozzarella and put them under the broiler for a little bit until the cheese is all melty and bubbly! Also they didn't fit in my pan laying down so I stood them up but I do think that it would have been better laying down because the cheese would be all over the shell instead of just on the top.

Yummmmmmm! these were so good and I will definitely be making them again! Me and my dad loved the gorgonzola sauce, I would probably just use this sauce with the tomatoes and put it on pasta and it would be wonderful! However my mom didn't like it so I said next time I would try it with fontina or gruyerecheese for he. Also I added a little parmesan, asiago, and romano mix to the filling and next time I think I would add some of the mozzarella too!

After dinner I spread out the bazillion scholastic books that me and my friends ordered from my mom and sorted them out! And there were definitely a lot! I wish I had taken a picture as they were spread all over the floor but they are all organized in bags now.

Now I'm watching Lost and snacking on a fruit tart that my mom got from Harris Teeter. It was okay, not that great. My mom makes an awesome fruit pizza and it is 500 times better than this.
So just when Lost was starting to make sense they have to do something crazy and confuse me even more! I can't figure out who is dead and who is alive and why the dead people are alive all of a sudden on the island! There are about 5 minutes left so maybe something will make more sense but I seriously doubt it!
