Goodness, Gracious, Great Bowls of Chocolate!

April 23, 2010 by Julie 19 Comments

“Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!”

Love that song and love that scene in Top Gun! Goose warms my heart. 😉

Today’s lunch was a great bowl o’ chocolate, in the form of brownie batter hot cereal.

Coco-Tastic

Into the mix went:

  • 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop All the Whey chocolate peanut butter cup protein powder
  • 1/2 serving Flax-Z-Snax chocolate cream hot cereal
  • Water

Flax-Z-Snax Chocolate Cream Hot Cereal

After nukin’ it up for about a minute and a half (and stirring regularly), I had one heck of a rich and chocolatey lunch.

Brownie Batter in a Bowl

This concoction seriously reminds me of brownie batter. Love it.

Speaking of sweet treats, I see a trip to Mochi for some frozen yogurt in my near future… It’s becoming a bit of a Friday staple, I think.

Weekend Plans

Another weekend is upon us (Hooray!) and I can’t wait to get the fun started!

My plans include:

Friday:

  • Drive to St. Pete with Ryan and Sadie for dinner with my parents

Saturday

  • Spend all day on the boat!!!
  • Meet with potential wedding DJ
  • Birthday dinner with my family (My actual birthday is on Tuesday)
  • Eat my mom’s homemade red velvet cake with the best cream cheese frosting EVERRRR

Sunday

  • Meet with potential wedding officiant
  • Drive back to Orlando
  • Surprise birthday dinner with Ryan

What are YOU most looking forward to this weekend???

I am so excited to get out on the boat! I can’t wait to have some fun in the sun!

    The best thing about this weekend is that I dont have to drive ANYWHERE. First weekend in 6-7 weeks that I am staying put inside my little bubble.

    Run, pool/sunshine time, wedding shower with MEXICAN FOOD!, more pool/sunshine time, and sleep. Glorious sleep. 🙂 Oh and MAYBE a movie! I want to see The Backup Plan!
