Good tips!! I made the mistake of only freezing my bowl for 6 hours and not chilling by ice cream mix and it never froze...I just ended up making chocolate mousse with it instead.

I'm not an early morning person...so I like to wake up and leave the house for work in as short a time as possible. So I usally grab a Clif Bar or Luna Bar & run.

On weekends I love to get my pb & j fix. So I'll make whole wheat pancakes, and make a sauce with sauteed cherries and a dollop of peanut butter. Yum!

Of course she's not a 5 star chef, and I can't say I'm a huge fan of her recipes either....BUT the reason she's on the food network is that people watch her show! She appeals to a mass audience. Some people are being way too critical.

Anything that involves using yeast. Yeast = dough = rising time = way too long. I'm way too impatient for that.

and puppymomma...fish cheeks are really fish cheeks. But they taste great!

I didn't even know that they were gone...oreos rule!

I usually go to the grocery store on Monday during lunch and get food for the week. I usually buy a package of whole wheat tortillas, deli meat (usually turkey or ham), light cheese and some fresh fruits and veggies. I make wraps at work and it takes no time at all. Once in a while I buy the Amy's Organic frozen burritos which I like. I agree with the NO tuna rule! It stinks up the office.

I visited Napa and had the pleasure to dine at Bistro Don Giovanni (Unfortunately French Laundry was a little out of my budget). It was delicious, and they had an extensive wine list (what else can you expect in napa I guess). They also had the best dessert ever, The Bosconi Trifle...it was so good..I still remember the name!

I'm a huge fan of The Counter, so I hope I get a Smashburger near me sometime soon. I love a good competition.

I became a die hard Chick-fil-a addict in college as well. As a true Chick-fil-a lover...I'm very glad to see it beat McDonalds.
