Valentine’s Day Treats & Eats

by Erika

Happy Valentine‘s Day! ♥

I hope you’re all enjoying your day so far.  I am!  Today has been great so far – full of Valentine’s treats from friends and everyone in a good mood.  I also got one of my Geometry tests back today and I got an 88%, which is great considering I thought I had gotten a much lower grade.

Enough about me though…I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your lovely comments.  They really put a smile on my face and brighten my day.  I really appreciate  you taking time out of your day to read my blog, comment, email me, and make my recipes.  That’s what I like most about blogging:  the wonderful people and interaction.  Thanks a million! :-D

* * * * * *

Now move on to the lovely food.  Lately my eats have been especially good!

Mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, Mexican Bean Salad, and crumbled feta topped with Faux-Fried Mozzarella Sticks

Egg, turkey bacon, and cheddar on Bran Bread

Kathleen’s Blissful Reeses Pizzert

A recipe fail: Easy Cheesy Whole Wheat Scones

Black Bean Vegetable Soup and an Easy Cheesy Whole Wheat Scone

Breakfast Yogurt Bowl inspired by Caitlin (Chobani Vanilla, diced Braeburn apple, Artisana cashew butter, wheat germ, and cinnamon)

Mixed greens, tomatoes, blueberries, and onions topped with grilled chicken breast and balsamic viniagrette

* * * * * *

Okay,  now I’m hungry.  Time to break into my Valentine’s stash.  You wouldn’t believe how much candy and baked goods were at school today.  I got candy bags  from a few of my friends and had a cookie dough brownie (brownie batter topped with cookie dough and baked) with lunch.  YUM! :-)

♥Things to look forward to on FFF this week: ♥

  • Shakeology Product Review
  • Peanutty Banana Protein Pancakes (I’m still working on the name.)
  • Mango Bread
  • My Ab Workout

* * * * * *

Questions of the Day:

  1. Bloggers: What are your favorite parts of blogging?  Blog Readers: What are your favorite parts of blog-reading?
  2. What did you do to celebrate Valentine’s Day?  Are you single or in a relationship?  I’m single as a Pringle and ready to mingle! ;-)

Thanks for reading! ♥

    One of my favorite parts about blogging is all of the amazing support from the other bloggers who have the same goals as I do, and that we can support each other. :) I love being able to express how I feel, and I love sharing my love of baking! AND I especially love being able to share my passion for Nutrition and Health and learn new things along the way. :D

    I’m glad that you enjoyed the Pizzert! They are one of my FAVORITES!!! :D

    I’m single and lovin’ it! :) That way I can have fun and flirt with All of the guys! ;)

    I definitely think one of my favorite things about blogging is all the interaction with such amazing people. And being able to get new delicious recipe ideas is a plus of course. :) It’s also great to see people with the same interests, and who get just as excited over things like oatmeal, nut butters, and peanut flour. :D
    I’m in a relationship and have had a great valentines day so far. My days not quite over yet though, and I’m planning on going out for some sushi and then, since it’s also my birthday, coming home and doing the whole cake and present thing.

    My favorite part about blogging is when i get really into a post I’m writing and let the real me shine through it! It is such a good feeling to get things out of my mind and “on to paper” (or on to the web) … I also love how blogging has inspired me to do more with my life. I feel obligated to eat better and make better life choices because I feel like I have to do well since i’m kind of “on camera” if you know what I mean! Love your blog Erika! You look gorgeous in your picture!

    Are the faux friend mozzarella sticks based on the hungry girl version? I’ve always wanted to try them!!!
    My favorite part about blogging is that it exposes you to people and ideas that you would never encounter without it. Not to mention that it’s nice to have something to look back on later. I love the community too, everyone is so supportive!!!

    I celebrated Singles Awareness Day (aka SAD) haha.

    Didn’t really do much to celebrate today, but I will on Saturday! ;) I love being able to get my thoughts out with blogging. I find it really therapeutic, and when it comes to reading blogs, I love learning about new things in the healthy living world, like how good oats are!

    I just had my first blogger meet up, so I’d say the best part of blogging is meeting awesome new people :)

    My favorite part about blogging is seriously “meeting” such amazing people that have the same interests as me! Also, getting good ideas from others’ blogs. Hope you had a great Valentines day!!

    Congrats on the good grade!
    My fav part is being able to connect with other bloggers, get their opinions, and express myself as an individual, not meshing into someone/something else!

    My favorite thing about blogging is sharing recipes and finding such creative ways to eat healthy! It’s so much fun to see I’m not the only one that is obsessed with oatmeal and nut butter, too!

    All your eats look delicious, what do you mean the scones were a fail??

    I love reading stories about other bloggers and the support system of the blogging community. I have chosen a different lifestyle than my friends so its hard to express myself in my food. None of them enjoy oatmeal :(

    All that goodness..especially the pizzert! WOW. Can’t wait to see what you think of Shakeology. I LOVE Chocolate and have it almost every day…I got some really good recipes for shakes on my site :) My fav thing to blend it with is Almond Milk.

    I agree with you, I love that interaction between my readers and also other bloggers! Even though I have never met (and probably never will meet) these people, I feel like they are all my friends and a part of my life. A nice comment on your blog from a loyal reader or fellow blogger or can really brighten your day :) (P.S love the blueberries on the salad!! Genius!)
