Yumminess

The only thing I can blame my inability to blog consistently on is lack of inspiration. Just kidding. I'm totally inspired, just lazy I suppose. But as the old saying goes, better late than never. Here I am, almost at the beginning of my LAST YEAR of pretending there is no real world, beginning to blog once again.

My first inspiration for blogging today? My roommate. You may know her, and if not, I feel sorry for you. Hannah Crockett. She's amazing and a freaking crack up, to say the least.

Here she is, people.


Bombshell, right? She's great.. I'm just trying to figure out how this creature in her bathing suit looks like that with a pantry full of Easy Mac and white bread. No joke. I choke down veggie burgers, oatmeal, and egg whites only to maintain my heifer-ish figure. She could eat ALL the Mac N Cheese in California, strip down, and work it like Hannah Montana. I'm Jealous.

And she can cook.. kinda.

Speaking of cooking, I've decided what to do about the real world: I'm becoming the next Sandra Lee. She's on Food Network for all of you productive idiots who don't watch enough tv. I know I made it sound like my veggie burgers taste like cardboard, but they're actually BOMB (and almost vegan).

Here's the recipe.. Because I know you want it!!!

Fab not Flab Veggie B's!
(only 200 cals each)
2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, grated
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 carrots, shredded
1 small summer squash, shredded
1 small zucchini, shredded
1 1/2 cups rolled oates
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (I use veggie cheese)
1 egg, beaten (screw you egg for ruining a yummy vegan dish)
1 tbsp soy sauce (I use braggs liquid aminos)
flour

1. Cook onion in oil for 5 minutes, then add other veggies for another 5 minutes.
2. Mix everything but flour together in a bowl
3. Refrigerate for 45 minutes
4. Make 8 patties that are about 1/2 inch thick
5. Coat patties in flour
6. Grill! (or if you're a dummy like me and don't know how to work a BBQ, just cook it on the stove :) )

Why I need to eat veggie burgers and make my second home the MCA gym?? A little place called the East Coast. We have a love/hate relationship. Mostly love, but my fat body wants to kick that whole right side of the country in the face. LOVE the fact that Colleen Erin Felicity Adams (and fam) resides there, LOVE Italian Ice, LOVE hot dogs at 4 am (FML), LOVE the Jersey Shore, OBSESSED with Dunkin Donuts, and LOVEEE the City, obvi.

Like, I NEED to wake up in this crazy cement wonderland. I'm in love. No hate, I take it back. I just need to take into account the high caloric value of New York food and say buh-bye to it. I'm happy with veggie b's.

HOWEVER, a few food favs will not be left behind. Park Avenue Summer = best brunch ever. I don't care how many carbs or fat grams were in the pastry selection (delish). Also, Saks 5th Ave on the 5th floor is home to the BEST frozen yogurt I have ever tasted. No joke. I would take that over Cherry Tart any day (sorry D Rock..) I want to live in walking distance from that 8th wonder of the the world. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!!!!!

Well there you have it, my life is completely ruled by the deliciousness of food; healthy and unhealthy.

LYMI!!!!
