A New Adventure Awaits

I was really happy to share with you the BIG news :) I can't believe I am actually going to law school, it seems like yesterday when I began undergrad, and now here I am ready to plunge into yet another educational adventure!!! I am really excited but nervous at the same time *HUGE sigh* Many people say that my life is over, haha, even some attorneys I have worked with have encouraged me to consider another career path!! I am sure of my decision, I know this is what I want to do and that's all that matters, right?? 

Last night I celebrated with some miso soup and sushi!! 

I got the Rainbow Roll: 

 Rusty took the pics with his iPhone,  sorry about the crappy resolution the restaurant was really dark. 

Rusty got a Thunder Roll: 

The sushi was delicious, just wish the service would have been a bit faster!! 

This morning I woke up starving and SOAR! Yesterday I did bootcamp, a new class at my gym and oh it was as terrible as it sounds ;) The class involved loads of squats, lunges, push-ups, circuits, and the list goes on!! My HR: 565 Calories! 

So, this morning I was in the mood for a hearty b-fast! 

Today was my first time making an egg puff - Scrambled 1 egg white & 1 egg, put in the microwave for about 1 minute 30 sec. and ready for eatin'. I can't believe I had never made eggs in the microwave, so much time that I will be saving! The sprouted grain toast was covered with PB&Co's Bees Knees and some wheat germ. 

I was busy all day catching up with school-work, booo!!! I have to get all of my school work in order before I leave to Ecuador, yay!!

So lunch was quick and easy: 

Some Stoneyfield Yogurt and my lovely PB empanadas. 

The pita pocket was stuffed with my obsession, Black Bean burger and spicy guacamole: 

It is so good it deserves a close up ;) 

Well I have to get back to packing. 

What are some essentials you must travel with? 

Let's Get Down to Bee's Knees

Happy Friday chicas!!!!  Thanks for all the sweet comments on yesterday's post. I really had a great time and wish you hotties could have joined me in the St. Patty's Day celebration ;)  OH and I will definitely be trying your strawberry smoothie suggestions, they sound soOo GOOD!

Let's get down to Bee's Knees!!!

I was running low on PB, so after the gym it was vital to make this quick buy. I was so tempted to get White Chocolate Wonderful or Dark Chocolate Dreams, but since I gave up chocolate for Lent I had to withhold on those temptations *sigh*.  I had never tried the Bee's Knees (p.s. I am obsessed with the name, haha). The Bee's Knees is a mix of PB and honey, which is perfect because I won't be needing to add agave to my PB and toast!! 

Inspired by HungryGirl's Dreamy Chocolate Ravioli Puffs, I decided to make my own version sans the chocolate :( We can call these Decadent PB Empanadas! 

All you need is: 

1.  Won-ton Wrappers 
2.  2 tbsp of PB 
3.  Any additional ingredient to put your signature touch ;)  (I decided to add strawberries and almonds) 

What ingredient would give it your signature touch?

• Heat up strawberries in a pan with a splash of almond milk until tender. 

•  Let strawberries cool for a couple of minutes. Then combine strawberries with 2 tbsp. of PB. (here you can add any crunchy texture you would like)

•  I used these wontons.

• Filled squares with about 1/2 tbsp. of filling. 
• Moistened all four edges of the won-ton and fold enclosing the filling.  I used a fork  to seal the edges. 

f

• Place in freezer for 1 hr. 
• Bring large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Working in batches, place frozen wonton flat in skillet, evenly spaced, and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly puffy. Then flip for another 1 to 2 minutes. 
• Let them cool for a bit, add toppings, and Voila!!

They turned out soo goOod! Mmm... the PB & strawberry mixture just melted in my mouth, and the crunchiness from the wonton and almonds was phenomenal!

It was a perfect dessert after lunch :)

Any fun plans this weekend????
