Tree or Stalk?

by Heather on February 13, 2010

I have been lucking out today with little to no meal prep (except for breakfast this morning).  All of our cooking this week paid off and I am now polishing off the leftovers. 

For dinner tonight, I enjoyed some more Bulgar Pilaf with Two Cheeses and some broccoli which I steamed…I topped the broccoli with my favorite – lemon juice and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

After dinner, I completed the rough draft of my reflection paper and then realized my tummy was grumbling.  I decided a chocolate milkshake was in order but to give this more staying power, I gave this milkshake a secret punch: Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt!

In my blender went:

  • Edy’s Slow Churned Chocolate Ice Cream
  • Skim milk
  • two heaping teaspoons of Oikos Vanilla Greek yogurt
  • drizzle of chocolate sauce

IMG_5788 Sadly, this was not my finest milkshake.  I wish I had kept the yogurt out and just shoveled the spoonfuls into my mouth.  The tartness of the yogurt didn’t blend well with the intended sweetness of the ice cream…oh well.  I’m full now.

Hoping to keep the productivity going and do a little more reading before bed…and still crossing my fingers for no calls tonight!

As I was preparing my broccoli, I remembered how I only used to eat the stalks – now I only like the trees…What do you prefer…the broccoli stalks or trees?
