Does anyone watch the show? If not, I bet you are wondering what ever happened to the Double Dare host! Good ol Marc Summers.
Today has felt like Friday, but yet it’s been Thursday, all day- so sad. Oh well, for breakfast I made a quick bowl of cereal. I’m pretty much hooked on this combo- Kashi Go Lean and Kashi Go Lean Crunch, with my all time fav milk - Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk!
I had an unexpected meeting (aka a webinar my boss wanted me to sit in on) come up at work so I ended up having a really quick lunch break with just enough time to run home, whip up a quick lunch and run back. I ate some of this wrap as I walked back to work and ate the rest during webinar.
Unwrapped:
A ww tortilla wrapped around hummus, broccoli slaw, spinach, sugar snap peas, and left over garlic teriyaki tempeh and broccoli. There would have been some actual broccoli in the wrap, only I picked it all out yesterday while I was waiting for my veggie burger to cook!
Snuggled up:
I also had a blood orange and a TLC mock nutri-grain bar.
I went to the gym while Isaac went to play Ultimate. I did 30 minutes on the stair mill and 20 minutes on the bike as I read The New Rules of Marketing and PR . I decided just to stick with cardio because my bod was sore, particularly my legs and core, from power yoga yesterday. We did a lot standing poses and twists! I think I am going to make Wednesday night power yoga a ritual.
I came home and made a quick dinner of tofu and baby bok choy for Isaac and I. I had let the block of tofu “drain” while at the gym (so about an hour) I wrapped it in a paper towel with a dish towel wrapped around it, and then placed a cast iron skillet on top. It was pretty flattened out when I got home, but extracting the water is so worth it. I don’t normally do it for more than 10 minutes, because when I’m cooking dinner I don’t feel like waiting that long, but it really made the tofu’s texture perfect. I used my normal method for stir frying it. I cut it up one whole block into 1/2 inch cubes, put a little canola oil in the regular skillet (not cast iron) and stir fried the tofu for about 5 minutes. I then added about 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes and stir-fried it for about 4 minutes longer. It ended up being much firmer, crispier, and better tasting than my usual tofu! Isaac loved it too.
I used veri veri teryaki sauce for the bok choy- which is where the sesame seeds featured below come from.
One hour til Friday- can’t wait to get the weekend started. I excited because I’m going to see Lykke Li on Saturday!

Loving that yummy dinner close-up!
And I used to watch Unwrapped ALL THE TIME! Marc Summers rocks!
LOVE Unwrapped! I used to watch it every night before bedtime:)
I love ‘Unwrapped’!!
TGIF!!
I learned in my psych class that Mark Summers had to quit DD because he was mysophobic and couldn’t handle the messiness of the show. BUT! I love Unwrapped
Yes, I watch Unwrapped. I love it!
Sometimes I leave my tofu under weights overnight. It gets extra cripsy that way.
Oh my gosh, I love that show! I watched it last night! It is sooo awesome! I love watching what happens in the factories and how candies are made. Haha!
I’m going to have to watch that show now because I used to LOVE Double Dare! The best of the best – Nickelodeon and I were best friends growing up
UVAlmond milk is my favorite, too!! It makes cereal even sweeter in my opinion…even though it’s unsweetened!
Great wrap – that looks amazing! As does the tofu. I am starting to fall in love with tofu! I never thought I would see the day, but it has arrived!
Thanks for the link to that marketing book. I better check it out because it might help me get a job
Hope you’re having a spectacular weekend, Brittany!
