Day 87

Okay first, People of Zumba, we need to have a discussion.  Chris got me Zumba 2 for wii because everyone tells me how awesome Zumba is.  I have two problems with it: first, the wii mote isn't registering what I'm doing (I'm terrible, but I'm not 0% accurate terrible), and second, all the songs make me want chips and salsa.
The zumba zombies amble off in search of tacos.
I'm guessing that maybe it is one of those things that I'd be better at doing if I took a class?  I feel that way about yoga videos.  ANYWAY, I did about 10 minutes of Zumba, then tried to talk myself out of going to Taco Bell.

 But before that...

 Sunday breakfast was water and television watching.  Total: 0 points

 Lunch was three boneless buffalo wings (such restraint!), a teaspoon of blue cheese (MAJOR restraint!), celery, two cups of milk, and a cup of grapes.  Total: 11 points

Dinner was five pieces of tuna sushi made with brown rice and two cups of water.  Also a salad with two teaspoons of olive oil.  Total: 7 points
Eat all the sushi!
Snacky time was a quarter ounce of cheese, four tootsie rolls, and two cups of water.  Total: 3 points.

Liquids: 8/6
Dairy: 2.5/2 
Vitamin: 1/1
Healthy Oil: 2/2
Fruits/Veggies: 5/5
Protein: 4/2
Whole Grains: yes, brown rice in the sushi

Freezer Meal #2 - Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples

This is the second part of my foray in to freezer meals - the first part can be found here  for Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage. Today we're making a pork and apples recipe adapted from The Pampered Chef.  I love this one--it's so easy to assemble in advance, most of the ingredients you likely already have, and it couldn't be easier to fix the day you want to eat it (dump stuff in pan, bake). So yummy.  And pretty. Maple Pork Tenderloin with Apples For this you'll need the ingredients below.  You probably have the oil, vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, mustard, and bags in your pantry!  You can also easily divide this recipe if you usually only cook for 2-3 people at a time (that's what I do when I make it). 2 pork tenderloins , about 2 pounds total - they can be expensive, so pick these up on sale 3 apples - I prefer honeycrisp but use what you like, or take one of these suggestions 1 small red onion 1/4 cup canola oil 1 clove garlic , press...

The Oscars, powered by onion dip

My hilarious friends Kelley and Christopher invited me over for the Oscars so that we could judge red carpet looks. Kelley is one of the few people in my life that makes me laugh without fail, and she blogs her adventures--and misadventures--over at The Lundscape .   Kelley warned me prior to coming over that they were more "Shame" than "Squad," so that's how we ended up with three types of dip.  This was fortuitous, though, because the dips sustained us through grueling hours of pausing and rewinding live coverage, swapping drink recipes  we learned on vacation, and discussing what award shows would be like on Middle Earth. Let's dive right in, shall we? Kelley : Janelle Monae's dress was sponsored by the Audubon society. Christopher:  This looks like "Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen meets Marie Antoinette." (It is revealed that the designer is Elie Saab.) Alyssa:  I'm pretty sure Elie Saab went on a coke bender. Kelley: ...

Freezer Meal #1 - Cheesy Shells and Italian Sausage

A month ago, a coworker invited me to a Pampered Chef Freezer Meal party.  I will admit that I went in to it with a little bit of an attitude: " I'm going to have to buy all their seasonings and the meals will be full of processed goo and not taste great ."   Four hours of fun, three glasses of wine, $170 for groceries and seasonings, and 14 meals later, I was happily proved (mostly) wrong.  Here's how my thinking changed: 1) I'm going to have to buy all of their seasonings - well, yes.  This is a service they're offering after all, and I felt like the $70 was more than worth the ideas and ingredients I got, plus not having to do the dishes and getting a free dinner was a bonus!  I discovered a few ingredients I would have normally given the "side eye" to, like cherry balsamic vinegar, which costs the same at the grocery store as it does from The Pampered Chef. 2) The meals will be processed - I was expecting lots of Cream-of-Something-Soup r...
