Closing Shop

My life has become far too busy once again to manage two blogs. I spent the summer trying to find my blog niche, and I have found it. It doesn’t reside here. While I love food blogging- food and photography, what’s not to love?- my true passion continues to be teaching and photography. Both of these passions can be best pursued at Classroom Confessions.

I am leaving the site open should the whim/ opportunity/ time to food blog return to my life, but for now, no more food blog posts.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I hope you will follow me @ Classroom Confessions. I sometimes post food pics there when they are really, really good

Opa! Well not really…

DD and I have been meaning to try this famous local Greek restaurant in Coral Gables called Maria’s and we finally got to go tonight.

Oddly enough we went on the one day that I really didn’t have an appetite, but the food was so good that I sort of forced myself to eat most of it.

I have never tried Greek food before, so I went with a classic-Mousaka.

This was AMAZING! I ate all of the Mousaka and green beans but didn’t really touch the rice. I did have two small pieces of pita bread (un-pictured).

I will definitely be going back here again. Delish!

Super Quick Dinner

Tonigh DD and I were being lazy so we had a super quick dinner: Pollo Tropical. I got the 1/4 chicken dark with rice and beans.

Not the most interesting dinner, but the best fast food I can think of (actually, subway is pretty decent too).

Alright, I am off to continue pretending to do work. Nite!

Running Errands

Yesterday I had a really boring food day. Breakfast was my staple oatmeal with raisins and Greek yogurt with honey and then for dinner, DD and I made pre-packaged Monterrey brand ravioli. I think the flavor was garlic and chicken(?) and I topped it with vodka sauce. 

I had the same breakfast this morning (I really will try to make more interesting breakfast choices some day) and then went to the gym for Zumba. It was a little sad because today was my last Friday at noon Zumba as I will be back at work starting Tuesday.

After the gym, I made a chocolate shake with Lactaid Milk, Chocolate Amazing Grass Powder, half a banana, and ice.

This was super and yummy and energizing! I love amazing grass! I highly recommend the chocolate one as the regular tastes a little too much like grass.

DD and I had a ton of errands to run today to Costco, Staples, et. and after we grabbed a quick lunch (to-go, we ate it at home) from OBBA. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl with brown rice and it was HUGE! I ended up eating most of it since I was really hungry though.

Alright, I am off to do some pre-school planning now. See you for dinner!

Asparagus Rocks My Socks

I know I made asparagus last night, but it rocked my socks so much that I decided to do it again tonight. Look at this yummy goodness!

For some ridiculous reason I cannot explain, my meatloaf was having issues and I ended up having to cut it up after 45 minutes and cooking the pieces separately. I therefore have no picture of said meatloaf as it still tasted good, but looked really unappetizing. I paired the asparagus and meatloaf with yellow rice which was a super yummy combination.

After dinner, DD took a pic of me cleaning up the kitchen while playing with my camera.

Alright, I am off to read and then go to bed, Nite!

Mexican Mid-day Munchies

And the alliteration continues!

DD and I went to go pick out his new glasses, and after he was craving Lime so we headed there for lunch. I was not that hungry since I had my super filling breakfast (see earlier post) so I got a small guacamole and a cup of the chicken tortilla soup. Both were very yummy and my meal only cost $4!

Sorry about the quality, iphones are not the best cameras.

After Lime, I need some teacher supplies so we headed to Get Smart. DD was not happy about me spending so much time there so I figured we could stop for a nice coffee at Borders. The girl behind the counter looked bored to tears and made DD and I the worst coffees we’ve ever had! We both ordered double shots of espresso and you couldn’t taste a thing. It was like lukewarm milk. DD drank it but I refused to drink mine so when I got home a few minutes ago I mixed the coffee in the blender with an Amazing Grass packet and some ice.

My “smoothie” turned out ok and still tasted way better than before. Plus, I love the addition of all the veggies!

See you for dinner!

Basically Breakfast

I love alliteration!

I woke up around 10 but layed in bed reading till a few minutes ago (It’s 11:49). I just finished this book by Sloane Crosley entitled I Was Told There’d be Cake. It’s labled as a collection of essays but it reads more like a collection of short memoirs. I love her sarcasm and would highly reccomend this book.

For breakfast, I went to my “guaranteed to keep me full” breakfast combo of Oatmeal with Raisins and Greek Yogurt.

I used to be a Chobani Greek Yogurt addict, but the other day I went to the store and they were out. So I grabbed a Fage 2% total since I’ve seen it on a lot of food blogs and figured it had to be at least okay. Well boy was I imressed! I got the honey flavor and it just made this yougurt! I love the sweetness and how creamy it is. I think this is my new fave!

Here’s my portion:

Laters!
