I had gone two weeks without a cocktail, and last night, I just wanted a glass of wine. Well, one glass turned into three, which turned into me eating potato chips with Hannah while watching the best of Comedy Central’s roasts! It totally wasn’t worth it, so I am back on the wagon (I think that’s the right saying??!!)
I haven’t made breakfast wonton cups in a while. 8 wontons are a serving at 160 calories. I sauteed some jalapeno and yellow pepper while the cups baked at 350 – it doesn’t take long – maybe 5-7 minutes at most – don’t walk away because they go from done to burnt in no time. I then added 1/2 cup egg beaters and one ounce of cheese, and then assembled them when I got to work. Topping them with the avocado sauce I made for the steak the other night made this dish!
We had two secretaries out yesterday so Biz was bizzy! So bizzy I didn’t get to take a lunch – by the time I could have worked out it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. But the day went by fast so I had that going for me! For lunch, which I remembered to bring, I had leftover Chinese food, but added fresh broccoli and yellow peppers:
Tony asked when I got home that he wasn’t consulted on what toppings he’d like on his pizza yet. Shockingly I did not make pizza! I needed to use up the left of the taco meat from my office party on Monday, so crispy tacos were dinner.
So today is twinfest with our best friends that our twins. I’ve written it before but we met D&D when we were in third grade and have been friends ever since – going on 34 years of friendship! What’s weird is that my sisters daughter Claire is going to be in third grade this year and she seems so little! They had a birthday last week so are now 42 like us – so fricken old! (not!) 😀
So I decided to make the Portillo’s cake recipe. All you do is take any box of cake mix, then add 3 eggs, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of mayonnaise. Bake as directed on the package.
I promise to do a better job this week with the 101 Days of Summer update – 11 weeks into it already and we are in the home stretch – can’t believe Labor Day is a few weeks away already!
Stats for Friday
- I have no idea how many calories – my guess, with the wine is around 2100
- no exercise
Alright, I have to squeeze in some exercise before heading out – have a great Saturday!
We all have our bad days. I think a comedy roast, with some wine, potato chips, and your daughter, sounds like a blast! Yeah, you may have regreted it, but looking back, it was fun I’m sure!
That cake looks perfect and delicious.
Mayonnaise….in a cake? I was super shocked when I found out that carrot cake frosting was made using cheese. But mayonnaise in a cake has just blown my mind 🙂
Had a great time with you today Biz!!!
I’m back on the healthy eating wagon won’t you join me? I threw the last of the forbidden junk out on Thursday I believe so I have 3 days of good eating under my belt. I even did a double workout on Thursday. Sunday starts a new workout week…and yeah I am back down in the 150’s again…The week ended on a good note!
That’s great Susan!! I am with you! 😀
i LOVE chinese food!!! especially yours with the brown rice. i dont like white rice anyways and prefer mine with the extra fibre 😉
oh how seductive the chocolate frosting is!! id love to keep a little extra in the fridge to dip bananas or strawberried in 😉

that cake looks so scrumptious! have a wonderful time!
Those breakfast wontons look awesome. Such a unique twist on breakfast.
Have a great time at Twinfest!!
You’ve been doing great Biz! One slip up isn’t a big deal. You’ll balance it out. 🙂
Those tacos look yummy, so do the wonton cups! They’d make a great brunch presentation.

Twinfest sounds so awesome. That’s so cool that you and your sister have best friends that are also twins.
Don’t sweat the wine and chips too much, today is a new day! (Also I ate way too many chips and guacamole last night. My weakness! So I’m starting over fresh today.)
I love Twinfest! Enjoy your day!!!
Mayo cake?? WOW…I’ve never heard of that before! Interesting! 🙂
When I drink wine I crave salty snacks too. :-/
Have a FUN weekend! 🙂
Have fun at Twinfest! It’s so cool that you and your sis are best friends with another set of twins! And yes, “back on the wagon” is the right saying–you go girl!
