I can’t take it anymore

Omg, this game is KILLING ME! VC WHO? Sorry for VCU alums/fans etc… seriously tho.. Kansas needs some mental skills right now because they are dying out there… its depressing… I don’t want to watch anymore…. but of course I will!

So yesterday was super hectic and I didn’t get a chance to blog! Sowwy! It was the first day of our interviews! Liza and I had to give a tour at 8:30 am, so I got up at 6:30 am to gym it up

Work out:

30 min elliptical on level 10

10 min weights

I was supposed to do a 40 minute speed run… but it was early and I felt lazy!

I skipped breakfast ( I know I know) in favor of showering and making myself purtty for the newbies! After our tour we had a current student panel, and then lunch! I only had fruit at lunch because I was meeting my Dad afterwards for Chipotle!! yesss I love Chipotle!

Chicken salad w/ guac for me                    Dad had 3 crispy tacos

We walked around DU, then stopped by my apartment to show it off! Then off to see my parent’s house here! After the house visit, and a few errands it was back to mine to watch the end of BUTLER-FLORIDA… eesh what a game!!

Then up to Boulder to pick up baby bro for dinner!

Liza and I were couch potatoes for the rest of the night, we watched Riding in Cars with Boys, I forgot how depressing that movie is!

This morning:

Again no brekkie for me, I wasn’t hungry!  We had another 8:30 am interview, followed by the same schedule as yesterday! I left after lunch today in order to go watch this game….

I also skipped lunch at school in order to make my own…. wait for it… PITTA PIZZA!!!

SO DELISH! I love Pizza, I really do but I try not to eat it often due to you know the fact that it isn’t exactly a diet food!

This however is a healthy way for me to have my pizza and eat it too? ( does this work?)

I used Wholefoods super thin Pitas, Rao’s Arrabiaita Sauce, and Mozzarella cheese, and topped it off with garlic, chopped tomatoes, and spinach

So much flavor, and the thin pita crust was perfect! Living in Italy for a year my freshman year of college, as well as England for 4, made me looooove thin thin crust!

I finished with an apple and chocolate almond butter, and a Vitamin Water Zero!

Eee ok half time is over… bah

Are you still invested in March Madness?

What is your favorite type of Pizza?

xxoo

Peace, Love, and be Sperry!

 

My Little Brother is Spoiled Rotten

Baby Bro Kev goes to CU Boulder, and it has become a tradition that everytime I come to Boulder I bring him and his roommates a treat… in fact they even told me that I am not allowed to come down with out one! See the spoiledness? (not a word oh well) However my dad is in town this weekend !!!!! and so tomorrow we are going to Boulder to see him!
I realized tonight when I got home from dinner at my Aunt Kathy’s house (highlight KU won, and my Grandma told me I wasn’t as smart as Sarah Palin… ouch?) that I needed to make the little brat best little bro ever something… Liza was more thank ok with this since she always reaps the benefits of my baking/cooking…. in the fact that our apartment smells amazing and she gets dibs!
I had a ton of cookie crumbs left over and was thinking of what to do.. when it hit me… cookie crusted brownies!!!
HUH?!? you may ask?
Yes layer of cookie crumbs

layer of brownie

LAYER OF COOKIE CRUMBS

and for added effect marshmallows lightly toasted on top

I know…. sounds heavenly right? like a smore…. made out of brownies and choc chip cookies.. winning duh

I used left over cookies, so use whatever you have lying around be it home made cookies or store bought no judgements!

For the brownie I used a recipe from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook! Get this book! Seriously it will change your life even if you have never been to Magnolia’s in NYC… the redvelvet… OMG to die for!

Brownie:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted  ( or 8 and 2 oz dark or unsweetened!)

Melt butter and chocolate together and then let cool for about 5 minutes!

Mix eggs and sugar until light and smooth, add in vanilla and then chocolate mixture

Add in flour and pour on top of layer of cookie crumbs

top with cookie crumbs

when there are 5 minutes left top with marshmallows!

Let cool and enjoy!

ok it’s late and I am getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow for new SPP babies! That’s right my program is having it’s interview weekend! So pumped… more to come tomorrow!

xxoo

Peace, Love, and be Sperry!
