Today, I had some serious responsibilities to attend to: catching up on all the TV I’ve missed in the past few weeks!
First of all, I vote for our next blogger meet up to be held at Cafe Disco. You can thank the Office for that.
Second of all, LOST writers: what the hell are you thinking?! I am never going to figure this show out. But I have to say, I think Sayid is quite a fine piece of male specimen. Ya know what I’m sayin’? 
Oh right, this is a food blog 
I woke up craving waffles, so that’s what I ended up having for breakfast.
Kashi Blueberry waffles with smooth PB, a banana, strawberries & cinnamon
I bummed around for a while, cleaned my room and then got to my workout. Last night I read an article that said you should do strength training before cardio for maximum fat burn. So I did:
- Shred with Jillian…I’m only on Level 1. This is why I’m never going to make it into the blog-world’s equivalent of the NYT’s Week in Review. I am way behind the times.
- 3 miles on the treadmill (1 mile run, 2 miles intervals)
- Polly’s yoga for runners. Love it!
For lunch, I made a simple sandwich and had a bell pepper on the side.
My last piece of Arnold's Real Jewish Rye bread with goat cheese, deli roasted turkey, tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers & thai basil leaves
I was still hungry afterward, so I made a delicious smoothie. Hello, new obsession!
- 2 TBS ff Fage
- 1 TBS Hemp Protein powder
- ~1/4 cup soy milk
- frozen berries
- frozen mango chunks
- frozen mixed fruit
This did the trick. Then I caught up on shows pretty much until dinner time. I have more final papers to write but I feel so burnt out from this weekend that I felt like taking a whole day off.
For dinner, I made something new, I’m on a recipe roll here!
Ricotta Stuffed Chicken (makes 2)
- chicken breast
- part-skim ricotta
- thai basil leaves
- cilantro, oregano, black pepper
- Pasta sauce (I used Newman’s Own Sockarooni Sauce)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix 1/2 cup of the ricotta with basil leaves & cilantro
- Rub chicken breast in black pepper & oregano. Spoon the ricotta into each chicken breast and fold in half.
- Put on a baking dish and top with 1/2 cup pasta sauce.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
This was so delicious and so easy! I had mine with butternut squash wedges & steamed broccoli:
Season finale of the Office is on. My responsibilities today are endless
What’s a recent obsession of yours?
I think all food blogs have a little wiggle room for totally sexy men. Or women! I love it all!
I adore you, just so you know. I’ve heard that about cardio and strength too. But then I hear the opposite. I hate it!
P.S. I only started Jillian a month ago, so you’re not alone! Do we love her sexy bod or what? Gimme!
My recent obsession: playing Mafia Wars on facebook! Sending you an invite!
Great eats yesterday – I should have come to your house! LOL….great job on the workout too.
I am SO excited that I found your blog because we go to the same school! I have been reading food blogs for quite awhile, but mainly read people who live in different states. I am currently at Umass for grad school and also went here undergrad. I can’t wait to read more! P.s. i heard Fresh Side is amazing! I need to try it!
Vanilla almond butter, hello baby! That’s my newest obsession.
You’re almost done Olga and then it’s chill time! I fully expect to see lots of alcoholic drink pictures while you are on break. Please provide as soon as possible. Thx! 
I don’t eat meat, but my husband has been making stuffed chicken when we have friends over. I think it looks impressive to guests.
so many beautiful meals today!
my newest obsession is just READING. I hate having to go to work because that means I can’t keep reading my book
yummy waffles! And that ricotta chicken looks fabulous!
My latest food craving: this week, it’s hot chocolate; Non-Food: RSS Reader – a relatively new thing for me.
Oh man, I’ve had a smoothie obsession this week too. Great minds think alike, yah? (Or maybe it’s just the stress of finals…)
Obsession..Healthing It.
I love using Greek yogurt in my smoothies–it makes them so thick and creamy:)
Food obsession: hemp. Non-food obsession: Twitter.
UH DAMNNNN you’re seriously on a recipe roll. That looks fancy shmancy…everything you ate looks SO GOOD. You should have a giant sign hanging on your neck that says “I’m a freakin’ food artist”
muhahaha My most recent obsession must be with hummus mixed with canned tuna all eaten in a sandwich with half an avocado. YUMmmmm
Glad you’re catching up on some tube…I missed the Office tonight!! I’ll be catching it soon though
Please make me that chicken, it looks amazingg!!
