Dream Vacations and Blondie Cupcakes

July 7, 2009

Doesn’t the title of this morning’s post sound delightful? :mrgreen:

So, did anyone else have a rough night of sleep? I tossed and turned all night long, so I ended up skipping my morning workout. I hate that when it happens, but I definitely needed the extra sleep. I’ve been a zombie for the past few days!

Breakfast

Today’s breakfast was a bowl of Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt mixed with banana slices and Peanut Butter Bumpers.

The Peanut Butter Bumpers are so GOOD! I still prefer Peanut Butter Puffins, but the Bumpers give them a run for their money!

IMG_2626 As usual, I drank homemade iced coffee with breakfast.

Last night, I recreated my Silken Vanilla Cake recipe, but added 1 tbsp of molasses and poured the batter into a cupcake pan instead of a flat one, which turned out SO delicious! The molasses tasted incredible mixed with the strong vanilla flavor. These babies almost taste like blondie cupcakes! :mrgreen:

I didn’t eat this treat for breakfast this morning, but I did eat a couple of them last night for dessert. ;-)

Question of the Day

If cost wasn’t an issue, where would your next vacation be?

i just made the cupcakes! YUM! Another great recipe by Tina. (I had a hard time finding the Nasoya Silken at the grocery store, it was in the product section near the bagged salads.

Definitely somewhere in Italy. I’ve been twice and I could just never get enough. Also, that tofu cake looks so nice and simple, I’ll have to try it next time I’m in a pinch.

Ahh…I would definitely go to Egypt! I have been obsessed with going to see the pyramids since I was a little kid. I hope I get to go someday :)

Every time I see your iced coffee, I mean to make some of my own! I’m just one thermos short.

As for a trip, I’d go to Ireland, definitely. I’ve only seen a tiny little corner of it around Dublin and I’m DYING to go back!

I know this probably sounds weird, but if money were no problem, I would be booking a trip to Antarctica for sure. I have always wanted to go on one of the ships down there to see the penguins in their natural habitat. I’m determined to save up the $10,000+ to get there by my 40th birthday (and before all the ice melts).

Hey Tina!

I would go to New Orleans.

I’ve been to Europe, but never really travelled beyond the East coast of the US! What a shame, right? But I have been to Boston 3 times and I love it every time ;) . I bought a Harvard sweatshirt on the streets just for kicks haha

P.S. Thank God we got summer back over here!

I’m leaving for a cruise to the Bahamas on Friday and I can’t wait! It would be more of a dream if my bf was coming, but since it’s my sister’s bachelorette party, I think we’ll have a blast!

Your iced coffee always looks soo delicious!

I’d probably pick somewhere in Europe. I really enjoyed London and would hopefully tour all of Europe this time!

Seriously… not to be lame… but if I had no financial burden or responsiblities I would plan a round the world trip- from Peru, China, India, Seychelles (b/c I’m dying to go there), South Africa, Australia, hawaii and home… So really it’s more of a horseshoe around the world.
To pick one I would do Seychelles as our anniversary is tomorrow and we could CHILL! :P
