hey y’all 🙂
Hope your Tuesday was fabulous. Mine was interesting…a few interesting dramatic moments followed by a calming evening spent working at the yoga studio. I can’t complain!
Before heading out, I snacked on an apple with almond butter!
And then, lucky me, my mama had dinner left for me on the stove when I got home at 8!
A big salad with walnuts, apples, carrots and Annie’s goddess dressing and blueberry maple chicken (out of the maple syrup cookbook!) and a baked sweet potato. So good!
As I watched the season premiere of The Biggest Loser, I stuffed my face with a toasted arnold sandwich thin with chocolate peanut butter. Take that, Jillian and Bob!! 😉
Got to go….this is getting good!

September 15, 2009 at 9:27 pmIt seems like I’m always eating dessert while watching the biggest loser. You’d think it would encourage me to put the chocolate down! 😉

September 15, 2009 at 9:27 pmI have been snacking while watching BL as well! LOL – is that sort of sick? I don’t know!
Your mom’s an awesome cook! Her meals always look amazing!
Matt
September 15, 2009 at 9:29 pmHaha I was watching that while I was eating dinner. It is kind of funny to watch!
Jenna
September 15, 2009 at 9:30 pmI am totally sitting on my couch catching up on my reader and watching The Biggest Loser too! Lol. I think like all of blog land is, I love it!
And I am totally thinking about dessert as I watch these people work their booty off. Is that a bad thing? Your dessert looks delish. Off the couch and to the kitchen I go 🙂
Have a good night, enjoy TBL!

September 15, 2009 at 9:35 pmLove apple and almond butter – one of my fave snacks – so satisfying!!! Now that Honeycrisp apples are back in season, I’ll be having this snack several times a week!

September 15, 2009 at 10:03 pmI practically ate the refrigerator when I got home from work tonight! (while watching the end of The Biggest Loser, of course!)
Cara
September 15, 2009 at 10:06 pmSo sad I missed BL! Does eating frozen yogurt instead count??
Wish I lived at home and got such great mom food like you!

September 15, 2009 at 10:06 pmThat blueberry chicken looks so good! Your mom is so awesome to make healthy, delicious dinners 🙂 I wonder if you could sub tofu. Thoughts?

September 15, 2009 at 10:10 pmAwww what a nice Mommy 🙂

Carolyn
September 15, 2009 at 10:15 pmI made a blueberry chicken that was awesome a while back. It’s getting harder and harder to find the berries now that it’s turning to fall. 🙁
Maggie
September 15, 2009 at 10:32 pmAhh, can’t wait for BL! Only 30 more minutes… (I’m in CA.)
Courtney
September 15, 2009 at 10:39 pmI’m in love with this show and I totally stuffed my face with dinner during it and didn’t care whatsoever! But I think I have some moments of insanity where I would love to work out w/Bob & Jillian b/c I think having some intensity coming at you is a good way to re-motivate yourself. Already can’t wait for next week!
Oh and the dark chocolate dreams pb? Heaven in a jar 🙂
Samantha
September 15, 2009 at 10:39 pmThis is going to be a crazy season!! I can’t decide who I like just yet, but I think they are all deserving!!

September 15, 2009 at 10:57 pmLast season one of my friends held a weekly wine and cheese party during The Biggest Loser. So wrong on so many levels.

maria
September 16, 2009 at 12:05 amOh you are so lucky to be able to watch BL! 🙂 I’m hoping to find it online since we don’t have cable here in Japan, but hate waiting the week it takes NBC to release it on their web site!

September 16, 2009 at 12:47 amTotally missed Biggest Loser tonight because of work, I miss Jillian and Bob, would love to workout with them!
Great dinner, I love mom’s!
Katerina
September 16, 2009 at 1:57 amJillian was even more aggressive then normal tonight!
I actually totally missed my workout so I did the 30 day shred while watching. Usually I am much more likely to be drinking wine and eating cheese 🙂

MarathonVal
September 16, 2009 at 8:35 amHaha, that reminds me of me….eating ice cream last night while I watched the BL!!! In my defense, 1) it was my birthday, and 2) it was “healthier” soy ice cream 😉 Does that make it better?
Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
September 16, 2009 at 8:47 amI told The Boy recently that part of the reason I love going to the gym so late on Tuesday evenings is that I like watching Biggest Loser while I am there, LOL. It’s something I enjoy watching but don’t normally watch if I am home. 🙂
Steph
September 16, 2009 at 8:57 amI always get snacky when I watch The Biggest Loser…what is that!?
Meals cooked by moms are THE BEST!!
Jessica
September 16, 2009 at 9:01 amJillian was crazy last night! She was more of a drill sargeant than she ever was before! Love your blog! And love chocolate peanut butter, too! 🙂
