banana foster oats (!!)

Okay, I'll be honest.... I've never actually had banana's foster. In fact, I'm not quite sure I know what it is. For some reason that name just seemed to be appropriate for Friday Morning's bowl of love.

I know it doesn't look like anything special, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving:

what took this bowl from good to 'gasm was a little trick I learned from this hot Taydor Tot.

I caramelized the bananas, which sounds a lot more difficult than it actually was. Simply stated, I tossed them in a saucepan with a little cinnamon and sugar and voila! They were all gooey and banana-ey and perfie. 'Twas a little extra work but totally worth the effort. It definitely tasted like banana's foster (or at least I imagine what banana's foster would taste like) Thanks Tay!

After breakfast I hoped in to my cutest outfit and hit the town to be super productive. Except I didn't. Truth be told, I stayed in my PJ's all day and did chores around the house which was actually serious business. After cleaning out the cabinets, doing the laundry, dusting, and rearranging my closet (p.s. I've changed my name to Jenny-rella) I was spent. Cinderella must have been in great shape.

It took Gingie for.ev.er to get home so I munched on some dinner while waiting for his arrival.

sundried tomato wrap with tomato paste, boca crumbles, jalepeno cheese and mustard + fiber gourmet lite cheese snacks and corn

this dinner was almost as random as these two:

Khloe and Lamar. Sure, why not?

But I don't care because I was craving it and the tortilla/quesadilla/whatever you want to call it tasted like a Mickey D's cheeseburger

an incredibly aesthetically pleasuring cheeseburger, for that matter

Quick sidetrack: While we're on the topic of my fiber gourmet lite cheese snacks now is just as good a time as any to plug a mini review:

Simply stated, if you like cheeze itz - you'll love these. I was a little irked out at first. 50 calories for the entire bag? There has to be something funky going on here. But alas, they were just really tasty and light and not too salty. The ingredient list was slightly, unfamiliar, but that's to be expected. They are perfect as a great light snack or accompaniment to a meal...and each mini bag packs 8g of fiber. Bueno!

Thanks so much again Fiber Gourmet company for bringing cheeze itz back in to my life. 'Tis been far too long!

Back to originally scheduled blogging...

After I gobbled up my dinner Gingie finally arrived at my house and was greeted by welcome home cheeseburger breath. Lucky guy, lucky guy. We were both pretty tired so opted to veg out on the couch and watch movies. Anyone want to take a stab at which movie we watched? If I told you Mean Girls would you believe me? Well, believe it. I'm sure it was just because Gingie was feeling super sweet and generous in allowing me to watch such a chick flick and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Lindsey Lohan's ta ta's in this movie Ah well, he's only human.

Then we smooched and said goodnight and now I get to see him again today! Have I mentioned how much I love when he's home?

Questions:

1. What the heck is banana's foster? Help a sister out!
2. What's your favorite dessert? If banana's foster tastes anything like aforementioned bowl of oats, I'd have to say that quite possibly could be mine
3. What's your most memorable McDonalds /Burger King happy meal toy? (c'mon, we all had one) mine was definitely either my hedgehog beanie baby or polly pocket. I actually still have them in my room. No shame, no shame at all. Okay, maybe a little shame.

Have a very merry Saturday, all!
