Half and Half

Please don’t hate me! We did get Very Berry Frozen yogurt on Friday, but I FORGOT my Isaac’s camera. I can save myself though because we went to Very Berry a few weeks ago:

Friday nights fro yo looked very similar to the picture above. I had the NF coconut and the NF chocolate with different fruits on top (kiwi, blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple) The combo of coconut and chocolate fro yo was awesome and I highly recommend it.

Saturday AM we woke up and headed to Williamsburg for Isaac’s Ultimate Frisbee games. I ate some Kashi go lean with USAM and 1/2 scoop of protein powder. I also had a naner.

Isaac’s team lost both games they played, but it was still fun to watch. It was also quite cold despite the fact that I was wrapped up in a huge comforter. I felt like I was in a cocoon… While watching the game I snacked on a (new to me) bar: Goji Moji. It was pretty good, soft with bits of figs, dates, and goji berries. The texture of the bar reminded me of a larabar. I liked it, but there are other flavors of bars I enjoy more so I probably won’t be purchasing any more of these.

After the frisbee fun Isaac and I had planned to go to the outlet mall to look for a new purse. While on our way there we were hungry- we stopped a restuarant that caught our eye as we drove by: Food for Thought. I am so glad that we stopped here because it was delicious. I was tempted to order:

The ULTIMATE Vegetarian: Enjoy half a roasted spaghetti squash tossed with vegan basil or sun-dried tomato pesto sauce and topped with bruschetta tomatoes and pine nuts.   Served on a bed of our jasmine mushroom rice.

I loved the reaturant after seeing this dish- I thought it was cool that they had spaghetti squash with vegan pesto sauce on the menu. I didn’t ended getting it, and instead ordered the soup and salad combo.

Normal house salad with house balsamic vinaigrette with blue cheese. I ordered the roasted veggie bisque. It was a bit spicy, filling, and delicious.

The second best part of the lunch was the bread they brought to our table: Sweet Potato Cornbread. I love cornbread so this combination was something I couldn’t pass up. It was so tasty. Next time I make cornbread at home I might try this variation, or maybe pumpkin cornbread?

For dinner we went over Isaac’s parent’s casa for Valentine’s and Birthday presents and dinner. We ordered Vietnamese from DaLat. I got the grilled shrimp/tofu platter which comes with rice noddles, lettuce, basil, cucumbers, carrots, peanuts, rice paper wraps, and peanut sauce. I love making the wraps-  it was really good and I even have some left overs for today.

This morning I decided to have half old fashioned oats, half oat bran. I LOVED this combo. I think better than either of the two plain. I added the normal: 1/2 a banana, 1/4 cup of USAM, a dash of cinnamon. I added ground flax and topped it with a spoonfull of Pam Anderson PB: Better n’ PB

I also had a tiny slice of coffe cake. Isaac’s Mom made it last night for dessert. I didn’t have any because I was given an Endangered Species Dark Chocolate with Cranberries and Almonds bar from Isaac’s parents for V-day, so 6 pieces of the bar ended up being my dessert. We brought some of the coffee cake home and I decided to have a bite this morning with b-fast.

YUM!!! This picture is the whole piece we brought home, not my slice

I’m not sure what we are up to for the rest of Sunday. I want to go work out, do some laundry, go to the grocery, AND we have plans to attend an Oscar’s Party tonight!

Question: I have a subscription to Self Magazine that is about to expire. I can’t decide if I should renew it or if I should change things up and get another mag. Any suggestions for magazines worth subscriping to? I’m looking for good articles, good recipes, good tips and workouts.
