Whew!
Barrel Tasting 2010 is now OVER!!!!!!
Despite exhaustion, overall the past two weekends have been a blast. Working at the winery doesn’t really seem like “work”, mainly because we just blast 90′s dance music and bust sweet moves (or maybe that was just me?).I’m beat though…and have a lot of writing to get done tonight.
I slept AWFUL last night, and as a result, felt pretty icky this morning. Nothing a Green Monster can’t fix!
I used 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop chocolate Amazing Meal, a TON of spinach, 1 tsp maca, 1 T peanut butter, 1 cup 1% milk and some ice.
This ninja concoction actually kept me full for hours until I took my lunch break and chowed down on the salad I brought from home.
I used: spinach, a carrot, 1/4th of an avocado and 1/2 cup prepared beans (a mix of navy, black and white beans from Trader Joe’s). Over top I drizzled balsamic vinegar and I also had an apple on the side.
Snack:
I’m not kidding when I say it was literally a dance party all day. We had Pandora club mix on and referred to the tasting room as “Retail Rave”. I think the customers loved it, as well as our sweet dancing skills. I think we should rename the winery to Club Schlumberger, myself.
I had a splash of our 1991 reserve cab after work and also a little bubbly. It was a really good day!
For some reason breakfast for Sunday dinner just works.
2 pieces of french toast with a morningstar farms sausage. For the french toast I used 1 egg + 1 egg white, a splash of milk and some vanilla extract and then drizzled pure maple syrup over everything.
Dessert:
I’m about to make some tea and get to WORK! I’ve got a lot to get done with week (book + taxes) and then will introduce a special guest star back on the blog come weekend.

I LOVE breakfast for dinner! Need to do it more often
Great to hear you enjoyed working at the winery despite the awful sleep. I bet the daylight savings time didn’t help much either (my morning yoga class was totally exhausting!)
Have a good night!
You look so cute in that dress! and so happy
Good girl getting all your greens in today! It’s neat reading about your and Tina’s different experiences writing your books – both due April 1. Sounds like you’ve been working extra hard : )
I think breakfast always tastes better at night
I like your outfit in that pic- really cute

Love the outfit. And I also love breakfast for dinner. Nothing wrong with that!
special guest star?!
I hope you have a productive night of writing.
That sounds like an awesome way to spend the day even if it is work.
I need to try your recipe for green monster. I love how full they keep me.
Love that sweater, Anthro? Also super cute boots! Sounds like a crazy fun day at the winery! When 90′s music is playing you’ve gotta bust a move. A little sprinkler action anyone?
I love french toast! I made some this morning with caramelized banana and brown sugar.
My momma is doing her taxes right now…makes me never wanna grow up. I hope yours are simple and straightforward. I could eat breakfast for dinner ANY day of the week (or ALL).
I haven’t had French toast in forever! Yours looked so yummy and you definitely can’t go wrong with pure maple syrup!
cute outfit!! hope you get a better night’s sleep tonight!
I actually find that if you use more milk than egg and you toast the bread first, it soaks up more liquid and gets a more custardy consistency. Alton Brown has a good recipe.
Yours looks great as well though!!
You make me want to work at a winery!!! I love it, looks like you had an exhausting but FUN time!
I’m a new reader and just thought I’d let you know that I love your ‘everything in moderation’ outlook. I eat healthy most of the time, but like to have a treat now and then. Its refreshing to see someone that lives a healthy lifestyle but still enjoys good food and wine without feeling guilty!
ps. I’m jealous of your dessert! I’m from Canada and I can’t find greek yogurt ANYWHERE. haha I’ve searched every grocery store in the town where I’m from without any luck. Hopefully it’s coming soon!
I love breakfast for dinner! When I’m on a b-fast food kick, I have it allllllll the time!
breakfast for dinner is what makes the world go ’round
glad you had a blast, even if you are worn out!!! get some rest girl!
Sounds like a fun day!
I love breakfast food for dinner!

Ahhh I have to make French Toast again soon!!! Too good with thick bread….yum. And syrup.

Seriooudly… I am lovingthose boots!
Glad you had a good time:)
Love your outfit!! Breakfast for dinner is so much fun, your French Toast looks super tasty.
looks like you had such a fun day/weekend working at the tasting!! Good luck with all your writing this week!
I love that you love breakfast for dinner on Sundays too!! It’s been a tradition since I was little. My mom always made breakfast for dinner and now that I am in college I still do it and plan on incorporating it into my marriage!
I had baby spinach salad and yogurt today too….my main diet staples. Looks fun at the winery! I looked up recipe for Bacon-Wrapped Grilled Jalapenos. nearly 700 calories 83% saturated fat high sodium etc. each. Very high in protein 15 g per. I’m going to find a better cheese to stuff so healthier, and use smaller pepper like Anaheim. But here is original recipe. http://tinyurl.com/oe4ezq
Yay for 2%! I never seem to see it on blogs, everyone is always about the fat free – but I think 2% is the ultimate
Love the outfit!
Glad you had a great time at the tasting!
Your green monster looks so creamy, smooth, and delicious! Also, there is never an inappropriate time for french toast consumption. Glad you had a blast working barrel tasting!
Love your boots!
I love breakfast for dinner, especially on a Sunday night.

Breakfast for dinner is always a winner
Happy Monday Jenna!
Your outfit is adorable Jenna!
I wish I listened to 90′s music and busted a move at work. I guess I could, but I think I would get looked at.
I’d just like to put out there…your outfit is adorable
What a fun day! You look adorable in that pic =D

Healthy but tasty, thats what im talking about
Be honest, breakfast works for dinner ANYDAY!
That green monster sounds so good I’m going to make it tomorrow. I went out and bought a couple single serve chocolate amazing grass packets – do you rep for them? I figured I’d try it (single serves) before spending the bucks to buy the whole jar.
