Such a tease...

So...."New breakfast obsession of the week" alert! :)

Don't worry....I'm not turning my back on my whipped oatmeal, but I just can not get enough of these English muffins with strawberry cream cheese and banana (+ leftover banana with MORE cream cheese;)

Heaven help me when I try the PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE...these might just become my 3 meals a day;)

Dinner last night was super quick & super flavorful  (we have a lot of those combos, huh??:)

First, we had pork chops marinated & baked in our favorite stir fry sauce:  Garlic & Green Onion.  Which I'm fairly convinced would taste good even slathered on my shoes;)  It's just SO GOOD!  We need a case;)

For a side dish, I boiled up some of this Israeli couscous....(which totally reminds me of one of my childhood/STILL favorites: pastina:)

It takes a little longer than regular couscous, because you toast up the 'pearls' for a few minutes to bring out their nutty flavor....

...and then you simmer on low for 12 minutes.  A little extra effort than 5 minute couscous, but this version is a little more hearty.

To kick up the flavor, we threw in some of the fresh tabbouli!  Mmmmmmm....parsley, onions, tomato & mint = low fat/high in flavor!

And finally:  peas;)  Which, ya know....are just peas:)  hahahahhahaha....

And for dessert, I got in my chocolate fix with one of my Vitatops; Banana Fudge this time!  (I've been missing them since I've been swapping up my breakfasts lately:)  Defrosted for a half hour and tossed in the microwave for 30 seconds and topped with a little light whipped cream, these are SUPER low cal "brownie sundae" swaps!

And finally:  My workout for Wednesday:

Wednesday Morning:  30 Minute Pure Power Yoga

Thankfully, I wasn't as DEAD as the last time I did that one;) 

Sooooo...I almost forgot that it's Miz Helen's Full Plate Thursday!  I love when Thursday creeps up on me:)

And in honor of Thursday:  It's suppose to be SIXTY degrees today in Jersey!  And tomorrow is suppose to be the big 6-5!  Crazy, right?  Oh February...why do you tease us so?? ;)  It's only gonna make that 30 degrees feel THAT MUCH COLDER next week;)

Alright folks, I'm outta here!  Enjoy your Thursday;)
