Brooklyn Balance;)

Sooooo...last night we decided to delve into one of our little treats straight from the pork store in Brooklyn;)  Andddd just to balance it a little better (and before the TRUE eggnog-nonsense commences shortly;), we thought we'd add a little healthiness to our little bit of decadence;)

OK...so first, the healthy:  I had this hot bacon (OK...OK...sorta healthy) spinach salad rolling around my head all day and knew it would make a perfect compliment to our "main event"....love the bacon, scallion & craisin mix!

And now the decadence:)  As soon as we saw these behind the counter, we knew we had to snag a few:)  One of our old favorites: Rice balls and a NEW favorite: Prosciutto balls!   
Melting...we were melting:)  As you could imagine, all this carb-y, cheese, salty, crunchy fabulousness was JUST to die for;)  At least we had the salad to make us feel a little "lighter"  hahahahahhahahaha....gotta balance your good with your realllyyyyyyy good bad;) 

And after dinner, I swiftly got busy chewing a nice slice of Key Lime Pie....Extra sugar free gum, that is!  It always helps with saving me from sneaking too many tastes while I bake or make up cookie plates for my work folks!  
22 plates later... 
My Cookie Roster 2010 wassss:
Didn't I say I was beat???  I thankfully had the help of a great "elf helper" (who was paid in Espresso Crinkles;), but phewwww...I'm already tired of cookies:)  Good thing I'm sticking to my workout schedule this week....despite being tired AND getting the LAST parking spot at the gym on a coooollld night!  What's up with that??? December is suppose to be the month 'o plenty in the gym parking lot universe!  hahahahahhaha...oh well, gotta keep rollin! ;)

And just so you know:  As I sit here, I currently have ZERO clue what were having for dinner tonight (a TRUE rarity)....so you'll be just as surprised as me by tomorrow's post;)  Have a great day:)

Prosciutto in rice balls sounds fabulous! We love making risotto into fried balls of yumminess. Thanks for a great idea for making them even better!
