What I Ate "While Cleaning Out The Pantry" Wednesday!

Happy WooHoo Wednesday!
   ...What's your WooHoo! moment of the day? Mine is that I got my lazy butt out of bed when my alarm went off the first time this morning!

Welcome to
What I Ate "While Cleaning Out The Pantry" Wednesday!



Okay you caught me, I don't actually have a pantry... yet!
         ...It's on the husband's ever-growing-and-never-ending to-do list that will one day be completed.

I do, however, have many cabinets that are overflowing with food that I have decided needs to be eaten before I buy any more.

And therefore, I have been making meals whether it be breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack based on the canned goods, frozen vegetables, and other products that I have stacked up over the last few weeks of couponing.

To accomplish this, it was time to get creative.

Let's see what I have come up with and subsequently stuffed my face with!

Breakfast: One LARGE Whole Wheat Pancake with a Banana and 2 Tbsp. Chia Seeds covered in Maple Syrup with a Side of Coffee. (I have had this package of wheat pancake mix in my cabinets for MONTHS, and I decided to whip it up on Sunday; I had plenty of leftover batter to enjoy Sunday breakfast pancakes for breakfast each day this week!)

Mid-Morning Snack: Two Clementines (I love citrus season!)

Lunch: Leftovers From Monday's Dinner -Vegetarian Mexican Burrito Made With Black Beans, Peppers, Onion, Spanish Yellow Rice, Colby Jack Cheese, Corn Salsa, and a Whole Wheat Tortilla with a Side of Cheese Stick (All of which has been taking up wayyyy to much space in my cabinets/fridge/freezer!)

Mid-Afternoon Snack: Yoplait Honey Greek Yogurt (Yes, finally the last of the Yoplait Greek Yogurt that I have been ever so strategically avoiding in my fridge because I am not a fan!)

Dinner: Sauteed Chickpeas, Tomatoes, and Vegetables (and chicken for the husband) Served over Mashed Potatoes With a Side of Biscuits. (Finally, my cabinets have a little breathing room again! You would not believe how many containers of biscuits I have sitting in my fridge (which were all a bargain due to the use of coupons)... I think the count is at six packages post-dinner last night.)

In my effort to use up the foods that I simply had lying around, I think I did pretty well. I still have quite a bit of food stocked up, so I am still holding off on the grocery shopping until at least the coming weekend.

Hopefully the husband won't starve before then...
    ...Just kidding, we have plenty of foods that he likes too!

Do you tend to buy foods and then forget about them in the back of your pantry cabinets?

Black Friday Couponing At CVS!!!

Yes, albeit insane, I am one of those people who love the thrill of Black Friday shopping.

At 3am this past Friday you could find me in line at Kohls, followed by Target, and then lastly KMart before taking a small break before hitting up Best Buy, Bed Bath & Beyond, and AC Moore Crafts.

Were the lines and people crazy?
    ...Yes.

Were the sales great?
    ...Yes.

Would I do it again?
   ...You bet ya! I look forward to the holiday frenzy that is Black Friday every year!

This year, however, I added a new store to my list. Since starting to coupon a few months back, I have saved more than $500 at CVS so I decided to give the Black Friday deals at CVS a try!
     ....It was worth the added effort, that is for sure!

Spiced Apple, Pear, and Cranberry Pie

Good Morning & Happy Monday BlogLoves!

I hope you all have a LOVELY long weekend full of food, family, and perhaps a bit of shopping!
   ...I know I sure did!

I thought I would take today to share with you a delicious pie that I whipped up to bring to Thanksgiving dinner this year.
    ...This pie was perfect for thanksgiving dinner, but it would also be great for the rest of the holiday season as well!

It is a bit unique, but the fruits and spices blend perfectly for a sweet and comforting dessert!

Spiced Apple, Pear, & Cranberry Pie

Ingredients:
1 Perfect Pie Crust
1/2 Lemon, Juice & Zest
4 Large Granny Smith Apples
3 Large Bartlett Pears
2/3 Cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/4 Tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 Stick Unsalted Butter
1/4 Cup Flour
1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 Egg, Beaten
1 1/2 Cup Craisins

Directions:
1. Make, prepare, and refrigerate your Perfect Pie Crust; roll into two flat pieces and lay one half into bottom of greased pie pan. Preheat oven to 375*

2. Peel, core, and thinly slice apples and pears; set aside. Squeeze lemon juice over the fruit, then toss fruit with the craisins, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

3.Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the fruit and cook, stirring until the sugar dissolves and juices cook for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, until the fruit softens and the juices begin to evaporate; about 10 minutes.  (The key to the perfect apple pie is to ALWAYS pre-cook the fruit before adding it to the crust and baking it in the oven; this gives the apples a sweet, soft, and extra-flavorful texture just the way apple pie should be!)

4.Evenly mix the flour into the fruit; then cook about a minute more to thicken the juices. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest; and remove from the heat.

5. Add fruit mixture to bottom pie crust in pie pan and top with remaining half of pie dough (you can either lay a lattice style pie crust or use the whole crust to cover the fruit inside completely!) Crimp edges in a styled fashion.

6. Brush top of pie with egg wash and sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar.

7. Bake in oven for 50 minutes. If crust edges begin to brown, cover the crust's edges with aluminium foil for part of cooking time to prevent the crust from overcooking and over-browning.

8. Remove from oven and enjoy warm topped with vanilla ice cream!

There was not much leftovers of this pie to bring home with me, so I'll take that as a sign this pie was a success!
     ...In fact I may, or may not, have enjoyed a piece last night while curled up on the couch. It was just as good last night as it was when served fresh on Thanksgiving day!

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?
       ...My favorite is most certainly pie of any kind!

Happy, Happy Tofurkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving BlogLoves!
   ...I am off to Vermont to spend the day with the husband's lovely family and stuff my face with thanksgiving goodies!

To me Thanksgiving means an over-abundance of baking. In addition, of course, to the additional family time, holiday cheer, and giving of thanks!


In baking over the last number of days, I have used a large number of eggs.

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker's Program, I was offered to review Land O' Lakes eggs! And as someone who typically eats an egg & cheese sandwich for breakfast EVERY day, in addition to holiday baking I was bound to do, I jumped at the chance to try out this brand of one of my favorite foods!

Before even trying the eggs, the first thing I noticed was the packaging. What I liked immediately were the words "Cage Free", "Vegetarian Fed", "No Animal Fat", "No Antibiotics", and "All Natural".
    ...Amen, my lovely little eggies, you are delicious and certainly nutritious while also being good for the environment!

Now these eggs do cost about double to cost of my local grocery store's brand of eggs, but the added benefits of zero growth hormones, and Land O' Lakes humane practices, makes up for the added cost. It also helped that Land O' Lakes sponsored this post and sent me this product to try free of charge!

In baking, these eggs were fluffier than their less-humane counterpart. The egg whites whipped up faster, and the eggs seemed cleaner and clearer upon being broken into the batter used to make my Oreo Cookie Cupcakes.
    ...They were also quite delicious in my Tuesday morning breakfast!

I do try to purchase humanely raised eggs most of the time, but sometimes the cost is a bit too high. They do taste better so I consider it money well spent when I do splurge, but I have to admit that it is not something I splurge on often!
   ...I am going to try and be better at this to ensure that I am putting the highest quality food into my body. I.don't.need.any.additional.hormones.or.my.husband.might.shoot.me!

How about you?...Do you by cage-free and/or hormone-free eggs?
    ...Is it worth the added cost?

Green Giant Fresh Steamers!

As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I recently was sent a voucher to try Green Giant's Fresh Steamers.

I personally buy a lot of frozen vegetables to add to dinners mostly because they don't go bad as quickly as fresh veggies, and they tend to be a little friendlier on the wallet. IfyouknowhatImean.

So when I was approached about trying some of Green Giant's frozen veggies, I jumped at the chance knowing that they would not go to waste in our household.

In fact, they were gobbled up (did you like that Thanksgiving reference?!) up within 24 hours of leaving the grocery store.
   ...Yes, I am a certified vegetable addict.

The first thing that I noticed was the MANY options found in our local grocery store. I mean, check out this list of Green Giant Steamers available:

Personally, I prefer my vegetables to not be covered in butter and unnecessary cheese sauce (Who am I kidding I would LOVE my veggies to be covered in butter and cheese, it is my waist that wouldn't appreciate it!) so I went with their new Healthy Colors Market Blend.

These veggies were enjoyed as part of last night's dinner and served with a side of boiled cabbage, vegetarian baked beans, and sweet potato!

Although the veggies were not as crisp as I would like, they were a little mushy once done heating in the microwave, they were still FULL of flavor. I loved the combination of carrots, peppers, zucchini, and an assortment of other summer vegetables that are not readily available at this time of year (or don't look too appetizing out of season!).

Would I buy these again?
    ....Yes, Yes I would!

In fact I can't wait to give some of their other flavors a try!

How do you get your veggie fix during the cold winter months?
    ...I prefer to use frozen veggies, but I do try to buy some fresh was they look good and the price is right!

What I Ate Wednesday - Pre-Gaming For Turkey Day!

Today is a Fan-Freakin'-Tastic Day.
   ...Why, you might ask?!

Not only is it once again time for "What I Ate Wednesday", but it is also the last day of the work week before I get to take four glorious days off from work.
   ...I'm just a tad excited, can't you tell?

To be truthful, the odds of my over-indulging on Turkey Day at HIGH. But, such is life and I plan to enjoy myself and enjoy the vegetables mashed potatoes, pie, and wine that will be served to me by my husband.
    ...Truthfully I plan to be smart, not go too crazy, and squeeze in a 4-mile run before the eating festivities begin.

But still, life is meant to be enjoyed and that means Thanksgiving is meant to be glutinous.

In the meantime, I'm pre-gaming the holiday by loading up on vegetables and healthy eats now.

Happy What I Ate Wednesday BlogLoves!

Breakfast: Egg & Cheese Sandwich with Coffee (with Milk & Sugar)

Mid-Morning Snack: A Banana & More Coffee...

Lunch: Lentil & Cabbage Soup

Mid-Afternoon Snack: Yoplait Blueberry Greek Yogurt (this greek yogurt got a big thumbs down compared to my beloved Chobani, but it was on sale last weekend and I had a few coupons so yoplait made its way into my grocery cart...)

Dinner: Green Giant Steamers Mixed Vegetables, Cabbage, and Sweet Potato & Vegetarian Baked Beans (Totally random, but totally delicious!)

PM Snack: On a whim, the husband and I decided to go see BREAKING DAWN last night! I loved it & can't wait for Part II to come out, hopefully sooner rather than later!
   ...At the movies I had a few handfuls of popcorn & some water to snack on!

Oreo Cookie Cupcakes and Marshmallow Frosting

...with a WHOLE Oreo cookie hidden inside!!!

Not one person that bit into these cupcakes had a negative thing to say.
    ...Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

These take a little longer to prepare than most of my other recipes, sweets, and treats but the time and effort is totally worth it.

I'm not going to bore you now with more words. I'll let the pictures do all most of the talking...

Oreo Cookie Cupcakes & Marshmallow Frosting

Cupcake Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups flour + 3 tbsp. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 2/3 cup sugar
3 large egg whites
24 Oreo cookies

Directions:
1. Preheat over to 350*; line cupcake pan with cupcake liners and grease with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Twist apart Oreo cookies so that they are perfectly separated with 100% of the frosting on only one side of the cookie. (Don't let you cat steal the oreos; Hailey apparently thought these were all for her and every time I turned away she tried to steal one!)

3. Place the wafer with filling on it, filling side up, in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Crush the remaining Oreo halves and toss all but 3 tbsp. of crushed Oreo in with 1 tbsp flour to coat (this will prevent the cookie pieces from falling to the bottom of the cupcake batter when cooking!)


4. Cream the butter until fluffy; add milk and vanilla and mix to combine. Lastly add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; blend VERY well and then add the egg whites. Blend for 2 more minutes and then add the crushed flour-coated Oreo pieces.

5. Fill the cupcake lines three-quarters of the way; bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly colored and centers are firm. Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding frosting.


6. Make Marshmallow Frosting per instructions found on How Sweet It Is (I substituted  vegan marshmallow for traditional Fluff, but normal marshmallow will work just fine too!).

7. Add frosting to poor-girl's pastry bag (a.k.a. a ziplock bag with the corner cut and taped creating a point to frost the cupcakes with!).

8. Frost all cupcakes and top with remaining Oreo crumb garnish!
 

Warning: Do not make these cupcakes without a party of place to share or else you will have to fight the temptation to eat all 24 delicious-Oreo-bites-of-heaven. You have been warned!

These will certainly please all kids and adults alike!
    ...This marshmallow frosting is my new favorite and I will certainly be adding this to many desserts and sweet treats to come!

What's your favorite flavor of cupcake?
   ...I'm partial to these chocolate chip cookie cupcakes that I made before! I loved them!

The best party dip ever...

I am not joking when I say that this might just be the best party dip I have ever eaten.

I prepared a batch this weekend to bring to a purse party, and when I left the bowl was practically scraped clean.

Some people hear the words "goat cheese" and cringe. Once, they taste this dip, however, they will be forever in love.
    ...I promise.

There were a number of skeptics at the party I went to this past weekend, yet all eventually tried this dip and then kept coming back for more, and more, and more.

It is addicting, it is intoxicating.

With all of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Holiday parties on the horizon, this is the most perfect, and simple, dip to bring a long.

I PROMISE THAT IT WILL BE A PARTY PLEASER!
     ...You HAVE to trust be on this one.

Goat Cheese & Walnut Honey Dip
    ...Served with Nilla Wafers


Ingredients:
10-12 oz. Creamy Goat Cheese
3/4 Cup Pure Clove Honey
3/4 Cup Chopped Walnuts

Directions:
1. Place all goat cheese in a bowl and use a large, strong fork to mash it until it becomes slightly creamy. This might take a few minutes and a little arm muscle!

2. Add honey and stir to combine until 100% incorporated into the goat cheese.

3. Top with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of extra honey for garnish.

Any sweet cookie or cracker would be perfect the perfect "dipper" for this recipe. The goat cheese really takes on the sweetness of the honey while still keeping hold of the savory cheese flavor as well.

Like I said before, TRUST ME.
    ...People will be begging for this recipe.

Are you a fan of goat cheese?
  ...I was not until this past Summer, and now I can't get enough. People will not even be able to tell this this dip uses goat cheese, even the biggest skeptics will be fooled!

Monday's Soup - Lentil & Cabbage Soup!

Good Morning!
    ...It's back to work after a glorious weekend of baking, exercising, and of course a little relaxation!

This week is SUPER short because of the Thanksgiving holiday, so that is of course another reason why I'm all smiles this morning.
     ...There is nothing better than knowing that only a few quick days separate me from a four-day weekend full of family, food, and good times!

Before next weekend begins, I thought I would share what I made this past weekend!
    ... I once again made soup!

With this recipe, I simply chopped up the ingredients, threw it all in the crockpot, and let it sit for 7 hours resulting in a HUGE batch of vegetable heaven!

It may be a bit similar to last winter's crockpot lentil soup, but the tastes are different and the veggies are even more bountiful!

I am looking forward to slurping this up for lunch all week!

Crockpot Cabbage & Lentil Soup

Ingredients:
1 Cup Lentils, Rinsed
1 Medium Onion, Chopped
8 Oz. Celery, Chopped
2 Cups Carrots, Chopped
1 Can Reduced Sodium Corn, Drained
4 Cups Vegetable Broth
4 Cups Water
1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper
2 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning (Basil, Thyme, Parsley, Oregano)
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Can Diced Potatoes, Rinsed & Drained
1/2 Head of Cabbage, Chopped


Directions:
1. Chop all vegetables; add ALL ingredients to crockpot. Stir to combine and let simmer on low for 5-7 hours.

That's it folks! Super simple and ubber tasty!

Before Simmering Away:

And 7 Hours Later:

Now if only lunchtime would hurry up and get here, I can't wait to dig in!

Make anything creative in the kitchen this weekend?

In The News Friday!

Good Morning & TGIF BlogLoves!

In breaking news, I have a new addiction.

A cinnamon rice cake topped with almond/peanut butter and chocolate chips!
     ...And yes, I actually took the time to neatly lay the chocolate chips out in an even manner. You can blame my OCD for such craziness.

For only 214 calories and 5g of protein its a delicious snack to cure my evening sweet tooth!

Now in REAL news, here are some health/food related articles that I have found recently that peaked my interest:

Greek Yogurt Vs. Regular Yogurt: Which Is More Healthful? - Greek yogurt provides between 15-20g of protein compared to traditional yogurt that only contains about 9g; for this reason Greek yogurt will keep you more full and satisfied for a longer period of time! Personally, I love me some CHOBANI!

Supermarket Standoff: Quick-Cooking Oatmeal - Check out a survey showing the best instant oatmeal for both your taste buds and wallet!

The Best and Worst Appetizers for Your Waistline - Coming into the holiday season we will all be faced with Holiday parties, drinks, and appetizers; this is a GREAT quick guide of how to avoid gaining any unwanted pounds by over-indulging!

8 Veggies, Nuts, and Grains with More Protein than a Burger - For all your vegetarian skeptics out there, check this out! Did you know that 3oz. of pumpkin seeds has 2g more protein than the same 3oz. of ground beef?

15 Ways to Stop Wasting Money on Food - Food is one of consumer's largest expenses; to save a few extra dollars take advantage of your freezer and stock-up when items are on sale! Check out the other 14 tips found in this article to help you save a few extra dollars of your monthly grocery/dining bill!

Well, I am off to power through the next eight hours of work before I officially kick-off the weekend with a family birthday dinner!

Have any good plans this weekend?

Two Fat Cats

My two kitties have been getting fatter.

I was wondering why the were both packing on the pounds seeing as we only feed them twice a day, small portions, on a regular schedule.

As I was feeding them each a dozen or so treats last night, it clicked.
      ...I probably should stop feeding them a dozen treats at a time.

C'mon kitties, haven't you heared about the importance of eating in moderation before?

I'm a bad kitty mama.

But aren't they just sooo stinkin' adorable?!


 As you can see, one is a little more camera shy than the other.

It also doesn't help that I have a small stock-pile of kitty treats that I got for free by couponing.

I guess I need to show some restraint and lead by example.
     ...Moderation for me, moderation for my babies!

What's the funniest thing your pets have done lately?

What I Ate Wednesday - The "Boring" Edition

Good Morning!
     ...& Welcome to another edition of "What I Ate Wednesday" hosted by the lovely Peas & Crayons!


Unfortunately, I have nothing extravagant to share this week.   
     ...Insert tears here.


Yesterday's eats were nothing special. In fact, they were nothing like what I had planned or hoped to eat.

Breakfast: The USUAL:  Egg & Cheese Sandwich with Coffee (made with milk & sugar)

Mid-Morning Snack: XL Banana & More Coffee...Obviously.

Lunch:  I had planned to eat leftovers of my mediocre dinner that I whipped up Monday night. But instead, my boss offered to buy us all Panera. WINNING!
     ...I was saved from an-only-okay-but-I-have-nothing-else-in-my-fridge-to-eat lunch and was able to enjoy a nice hot bowl of Tomato Soup which was perfect for the cloudy day that yesterday was!

Mid-Afternoon Snack: Ritz Classic Cheddar Crackerful & More Coffee...
     ...I had planned on having some Greek yogurt, but then I noticed that I had some Activia regular yogurt leftover and that it had an expiration date of today! In order to prevent the need to toss perfectly good food in the trash, I settled with the less-creamy-but-still-tasty choice. But, then I changed my mind and went with the completely processed cheese filled cracker that has been sitting in my desk since I got them for free back in September. Can you say indecisive much?

Dinner: I had zero plan for dinner last night. The husband said he wanted BBQ Chicken so I whipped that up for him. As for myself, I took one look in the fridge and created a hodge-podge concoction.
    ...I came up with 5 Romaine Lettuce Leaves filled with Cherry Tomatoes, Green Pepper, Sabra Salsa, and Mexican Cheese with a side of Scalloped Potatoes. Random, but delicious!

Water: Sixteen 8oz. Glasses of Good Ole' H2O

Calories: 1,765      Fat: 57g    Protein: 45g     Carbohydrates: 241g

Work It Out: 45 Minutes Bootcamp Class Pre-Work & 60 Minute Muscle Conditioning Class Post-Work

So as you can see, yesterday was boring.

Gym.Eat.Work.Eat.Work.Gym.Eat.Sleep.DreamAboutEating.

Blah.Blah.Blah.
    ...Well, I did see a rainbow yesterday morning so the whole day was not a complete waste!

Did you do anything exciting yesterday?
