How do you like that for a title? It pretty much sums up my weekend in a nutshell. But, because this is a blog and I can talk about whatever I want I am going to run through the weekend with you and provide the non-nutshell version. So here we go!
On Friday afternoon, I ran a few errands and made myself a bowl of alfredo using tofu shiritaki noodles! In the mix: tofu noodles, laughing cow, sour cream, salt and pepper, mushrooms, garlic and spinach.

I love making this meal for lunch, it is filling and very light on the calories too! For dinner, I decided to make a homemade pizza. Here is everything before mixing it all together:

Last time I made pizza dough I felt it was tasted too much like wheat flour so I opted to use both wheat and white flour. I also added some basil, cilantro, oregano, salt, pepper and red chili flakes to add a kick to it! Here’s the dough all rolled out and ready to go.

For our toppings, I decided to use red, green and yellow bell peppers, onions and muchrooms.

I paired my pizza with a side salad. Boy was this crust good! The best part is that it made enough for 2 pizzas so I froze the other half for a different day.

After dinner, Gregg and I headed to the Brewer Game to watch the Brewers get completely blown out of the water, it was a really crappy game. But, on a good note, I did enjoy a bag of Cracker Jack. I haven’t had this in almost 2 years! I forgot how much I loved the caramel corn and peanuts. SO good! After the game we headed home and got a few things ready for Gregg to go to his parents for the weekend. After that I watched a little bit of tv and hit the hay. When I woke up, Gregg was already gone and I enjoyed a wonderful Gala apple and a bottle of water. After my little snack I got on my bike and headed out for a 40 minute ride.

It was such a beautiful day on Saturday that I would have kicked myself if I wouldn’t have gone out. I did about 7.5 miles and it didn’t even feel like I did anything. One thing is for sure, when I got home I was hungry! So, I whipped together a breakfast that I was hoping would get me through the day. In the mix: 1 plain chobani, 1/4 cup of trader joes granola, 1/2 cup of pumpkin and a little bit of whipped topping.

After breakfast I packed my bag, hooked up the bike rack and bike to my car and was off to visit my mom. Her and I originally planned on doing some work inside the house, but like I said it was too nice to spend the day indoors so we headed to the outdoor mall instead. We walked around, gossipped, went to Trader Joe’s and bought a few items (I am giving the bran muffins another try, they better not mold on me again!), after about 4 hours walking around we decided it was time for dinner at the Mongolian Grill. We both ended up getting the unlimited bowl. My first one had shrimp and veggies with about 1/4 cup of rice, the second one just had veggies. My eyes were defiantly bigger than my stomach because I couldn’t finish my second bowl even though it was just veggies and no rice!
After dinner, we met up with my grandma and 3 of my aunts and went to see the movie The Proposal. The movie was really funny and cute. The ending kind of sucked but overall, it was a good flick. If you thought about seeing it go for it! There is one part of the movie where I laughed for about 5 minutes non-stop! If you have seen it let me know if you know what part I am talking about. After the movie, we hit up the casino where I won on the same machine as last time! Although, this time I won $283! Well, technically it was $243 because I spent 40. Either way, I was ahead. After the casino, we all headed to the bar and had a beer to end the night.
Sunday morning my mom and I shared an Amazing Grass Chocolate Smoothie. She said it was okay, but she has never had a grass smoothie before, so I expected her to be a little iffy about it. After the smoothie, we went for an 8 mile bike ride. When we got back I made a gigantic bowl of Oatmeal that held me over all day through grocery shopping and cleaning my car! When I got home that night I wasn’t sure what I wanted for dinner so Gregg and I hit up the Fresh Market and got a few things to share.
The first thing we got was a Turkey and Swiss sammy. Him and I split this 6 inch sammy. It was really good, not too greasy and not to filling.

Gregg really wanted Sushi so he got the Spicy Shrimp Roll. I had 4 pieces of this with soy sauce and wasabi.

And this was clearly my pick, the Strawberry Spinach Salad with almonds and feta cheese. Him and I did split this as well. Overall it was a great variety to have!

For dessert, I had 1/4 cup of hi-energy trail mix that Gregg bought for me at the Fresh Market.

This morning, I decided I wanted some cereal so I had 3/4 c of regular puffins that my mom gave me, some fiber one yogurt and a cup of coffee. But, unfortunately, I did not stop there. As I was packing Gregg’s lunch and putting in a piece of cake, I decided I wanted one too and ate a piece of cake for breakfast. This is so UNLIKE me! But, I counted for it and moved on and let me tell you, it was damn good too!

For lunch, I packed some leftover pizza, grapes, some leftover bell pepper and hummus.

Overall, it was a great weekend and I wish it wasn’t over. But, I should get going to work. Have a great day everyone!
