Some Recipes to Share

I mentioned yesterday that I start South Beach today. In honor of my 2 weeks of NO carbs and NO sugar, I've decided to post 2 of my favorite "SB" friendly recipes!

Fake-out Frozen Yogurt
1 cup of 0% Greek Yogurt ( I like Fage)
1 packet of Splenda
A few dabs of Vanilla Extract
1 Dash of Cinnamon
8 Almonds

Directions: Mix everything together and put in the freezer for 10-15 min. It won't be totally frozen, but the already creamy yogurt gets even thicker when chilled. SOOOO good.

Roasted Asparagus and Havarti Cheese Omelette
4-5 stalks of Roasted Asparagus
2 Eggs
Splash of Skim Milk
1 Piece of Havarti Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Butter

Directions: It's an omelette...it's not that hard to make, but I love the combination of Havarti and Asparagus. Roasting Asparagus is super easy. All you need is a pyrex, asparagus, olive oil and salt and pepper. I usually roast them at 400 til they are getting dark and the tops look crispy.

Enjoy!!

Restaurant Week

Every summer my friends all get together and participate in a very fabulous NYC tradition.

Let me break it down...

3 courses for $35. AMAZING!

For everyone watching their budget, this is the perfect opportunity to try out those swanky restaurants you wouldn't have dreamed at splurging at before. This year, we will be hitting up Butter (3rd summer in a row) and tonight we will be kicking it all off with a reservation at Park Avenue Summer.

I would definitely suggest trying out Restaurant Week if you can!!

My one regret was not taking his picture...

Let me set the stage for you...

Last night I met the most fantastical person ever...6'1, Rihanna inspired Mohawk, lip ring, bling blinged out, fierce tranny of a waiter. He was sheer perfection. He was successful in getting K, M, J and I pretty sloshed and the $3 margs were flowing almost as frequently as the "hey BOO's" from Mr. Fabulous. If I could have brought him home in my pocket---I would have.
I think we even asked him if we could have him included on our check. When it came time for us to leave we received kisses and hugs from our new "bf"...all in all---pretty fantastic night.

Maybe I will relax this weekend...I have my first business trip next week!!! EEEKK stay tuned for all the fabulous details!

Waffles for Dessert...Yes Please!

After sharing a delish meal with RJ, KR and JB last night at Waterzooi in GC we decided to order dessert. After contemplating what to get for about .5 seconds I ordered the Waffle with Strawberries.

This is what came to the table...

AMAZING!

Warm and crispy on the outside, light and buttery on the inside. Topped with Fresh whipped cream and sweet strawberries...total perfection.



If you are ever in GC, you have to visit Waterzooi!

Once the photos are up from the second part of my Saturday I will do a little post. It was a college reunion of sorts.
