Snacks

I snack all the time. That may be why I'm a fattie! Anyways, I enjoy snacks that have tons of fiber!!! As a woman, I need all the fiber I can get!




The whole line of Fiber One bars are TO DIE FOR. They seriously taste like candy bars! Try ANY of the flavors and you will not be disappointed. If you are, send me the rest of the uneaten box and I'll pay you FULL price.

I'm a fan of mixed nuts. This South Beach mix is amazing. Salty and satisfying, I find myself eating half the jar! Not good but sure delicious.

Easiest Dinner Ever!

Delicious. Simple.

Salmon: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season with pepper, salt. Cook for 20 minutes.

Couscous: Boil water with olive oil, then add cooked peas, chopped onions, couscous. Take off heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

That's it and it's delicious, fresh, and good for you!

Summary of San Francisco

Amazing city. The houses, the hilly streets, the wharf, the 50 degree temperatures. Just gorgeous and healthy! Unfortunately, our diet wasn't. I'm just going to post pics of where and what we ate!

Boudin Bakery: A chain of bakeries/restaurants around San Francisco. FRESH sourdough bread. Very tasty.

Stopped by a place near the wharf for some ciopinno: soup with mussells, crab, clam, shrimp, fish in a tomato broth.

Ghiradelli Square: hot fudge sundae AND a peanut butter chocolate parfait

Random sidewalk cafe: eggs, toast, fruit.

Scoma's: the most delicious crab cakes ever, cold appetizer: oysters, clam, crab, shrimp, prawn.

Scoma's: prawn, lobster, crab in a butter glaze with pasta, rice, and veggies

Isobane: floating sushi boats: grab which plate you want when it comes by: rolls, sushi, sashmi, handrolls, etc.

Random dessert: Halo Halo- a phillipino dessert with purple yam icecream, cream, ice, and a mixture of beans.

Banana split: chocolate peanut butter, caramel, and rum raisin ice cream. This is the place's HOMEMADE ice cream!

The famed Mama's restaurant. Rated as having the best french toast in town.

French toast with bananas, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries with chocolate drizzles.

Dinner at a sidewalk restaurant: Appetizer- stuffed calamari with SQUID INK garnish.

Chicken baked under a brick with asparagus.

California pizza: basil and a variety of veggies.

Sear's Fine Dining: known for their dish of 18 mini pancakes

As if all the eating isn't enough. We treated ourselves to room service of veggie pizza and Turkey club!

Dessert crepe at a sidewalk cafe: NUTELLA, strawberries, and blueberries. DELICIOUS.

So long Tejas!

Hey Guys! Just wanted to apologize for lack of post/updates lately. I haven't really been cooking that much. Anyways, I'll be in San Francisco and Austin all next week! That means no updates till after that. Trust me though, when I go on vacation, I sure will be enjoying some Yummy Eats! Till then!

Homemade Pizza

Who the heck doesn't love pizza? If I ever were sentenced to death, I would pick pizza and a brownie sundae as my last meal. SWEAR TO G*D.

For a quick after work dinner Glenn and I usually make these quick pizzas.

Cook chopped red onions and shrimp (or any meat of your choice) with salt, pepper, and parsley.

On a whole wheat tortilla add cheese of your choice, the red onion/shrimp mix, more cheese and some freshly chopped tomatoes.

Stick this in the oven for about 6 minutes and you are done! The whole wheat tortilla is crisp and is only 90 calories! Quick meal but satisfies!

Fogo de Chao

Glenn and I love excuses to go out to eat. So for our 2nd year anniversary we decided to go to Fogo De Chao. A Brazilian Steakhouse

Very nice atmosphere. Dim lights, wine glasses everywhere, servers running around to accommodate each guest. Loved it. Too fancy for us but we still enjoyed it.

When you are seated you are given a card like the one on the left. One side is green and one side is red.

You start off at the all you can eat salad bar that includes a variety of cheese, exotic meats, salads (chicken, pasta), international vegetables, etc.

When you are done with the salad portion you flip over your card to the green side and the fun/fat begins. Servers, each carrying a meat choice, rush to your table and ask if you want what they are offering. Meats include: top and bottom sirloin, beef ribs, lamb, pork chops, chicken, pork sausages, fillet Mignon, beef ancho.

PURE MEAT HEAVEN. I haven't had so much red meat in my life. When you are "done" with all the offers, simply flip your card over to the red side and they'll stop coming. Everything was roasted very well. Full of garlic, pepper flavor. I ate way to much. I wish we liked wine because everything would have gone well with a nice red wine. By the way, did I mention it's ALL YOU CAN EAT?

A picture of my sirloin, fillet Mignon, lamb, pork chop plate. (1 out of 3 plates I ate)

In addition to all you can eat meat and salad bar, we also got unlimited mashed potatoes, PLANTAINS (MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE), and some fried vegetable thing at our table.

And if you want to question how much fatter our asses can get? We also got THREE DESSERTS!

<-- Flan. Creamy with the caramel sauce being thick and not to sweet.

8 inch strawberry cheesecake. Creamy and rich. Not only was it covered in strawberries and strawberry sauce, they also drizzled some raspberry sauce on the bottom.

Fogo de Chao's signature dessert. A papaya ice cream. It tasted so light and not too sweet. I use to love it when my dad made papaya milkshakes when I was little and this is what it tasted like. Very fresh and perfect for the summer!

This place was amazing. I would suggest it for a great start to a "dude's day" or bachelor party. Women usually can't handle all this red meat. Needless to say, I was dry heaving all the way home after eating here. TOO MUCH FOOD.
