Mornin!
Last night I knew I needed to save money and stay in and cook dinner from food I already had instead of going out. My friends were headed to the Meatball Shop but I forced myself to say no this time (pat on the back) and was happy I did. I cooked a simple dinner of leftover rice, tofu made on the skillet and baby brussels from a frozen package. Threw on some real goat cheese. BBQ sauce on the side.
For dessert, a serving or so of Ciao Bella Mango Banana Sorbet and some chopped up leftover chocolates from Amanda’s bday (a mini snickers, some reese’s malts, a Dove White Chocolate)

My sister called me last night and said… “ok i have these leftover ingredients, what do I do with them for dinner?”. She had broccoli & already cooked sweet potato. Immediately, a scramble came to mind because I love sweet potato in egg scrambles. We talked through it over the phone as she made it
We added corn, sweet potatoes and broccoli to egg whites and sprinkled it with cheddar. She also added garlic. On the side, just for the blog (and because I encouraged her to add a side), she put some bloobs and a nectarine. She also has a ridiculous camera… look how good her pic is!! I’m so proud, Jenna, so proud..
Most exciting is that my sister is currently, as I type, moving in to an apartment in NY just 5 or so blocks away! She will be here for the summer working at the W Hotel in Times Square.
Anywho, we all went to bed pretty early last night and woke up refreshed this morning. I slept like a baby! I haven’t had coffee the last couple of days and I have been sleeping SO well. I think I may be on to something..
This morning, I woke up, went out to a Bodega around the corner, bought some fruit and made a concoction:
- Over a cup of fruit (melon, grapes, kiwi, mango, oranges)
- Ciobani Plain Yogurt
- Granola from Whole Foods
- Almond Butter
- Honey
Now I’m going to head out for my run, then get ready for the Yankee Game for Fathers Day! I’ll be going straight from the game to the airport- am going to Charlotte for a couple of days for work.
Have a great last day of the wknd!
