I'm A "Hungry Girl"!

Hello all!!! This will be a quick post because I've been on the go all day and haven't got much time even now!!! I was up bright and early because DS started ball hockey this morning and we had to leave the house by 9am. I decided to try out a recipe from the new Hungry Girl's cookbook that was just released last week.
The recipe was called "fab 5 banana pancake mini's".
I opted for 3 bigger pancakes on which I smeared some homemade PB and drizzled with SF maple syrup. Instead of mixing everything up in a bowl, I gave the batter a whiz in the magic bullet and the consistency came out just right!
YUM!

Back tracking to last night, I did indeed have a snack about 9pm. I toasted a 100 calorie English muffin and spread it with a packet of Barney Butter.
The Barney Butter was good! It didnt blow my mind or anything, but I enjoyed the change. I still prefer natural nut butters, I must say.

DS really enjoyed ball hockey. I had no doubt that he would! My hubby and DS's friends father are coaching the team. The Dad's had a blast, too! Here's DS (im)patiently waiting to get on the rink....
His team is called the "Black Crows". Much better than the "Woodpeckers"!!!

We got home just before lunch so I spent some time tidying up and putting laundry in the machine. I snacked on some unpictured dried figs as soon as we walked through the door to tide me over. I started on my lunch around 12:30 and made a wrap filled with egg whites, spinach and LC cheese and on the side I had a 1/2 cup of plain yogurt that had 2 tbsp of PB2 mixed in. I used the orange as my "utensil" for the yogurt!
This was a very satisfying lunch! The yogurt/orange combo was terrific, but I wasn't fond of the mixture on its own so I tossed some granola in the last little bit to finish it off.

Right after lunch we were off again to buy a new bike for DD and shin pads and cleats for DS. DD really needed a new bike as hers was just too small and it was making it really hard for her to ride. We took the new wheels out for a test drive once everything was adjusted to her size. The ride ended up being 1 hour long and she didn't complain once!!! A miracle! :) I wore my HRM to see what my stats would look like on a family ride as opposed to by myself. Then I forgot to write it all down! I'll have to check the summary later, but I remember that we were gone for 58 minutes and I burned 268 calories. Not too shabby!

We got back to the house at 5 and the fam decided they wanted bacon and eggs for dinner. I decided that I wanted to try another Hungry Girl recipe! This one was called "Totally Pumpin Fettuccine". The recipe involved Shiritaki noodles, pumpkin, a LC cheese wedge, etc. I served it with a toasted English muffin to sop up all the sauce!
This recipe was another winner! I also ate maybe a cup of this watermelon that I chopped up while din din was cooking;
I'm one stuffed pussy cat right now! My parents will be over for a visit soon and after they leave I will be doing my shred DVD. I have a feeling that once that's done, I'll be collapsing on the couch!!! We have another early morning because there is one last "horrah" for DS's hockey team from 9-11. Where did the weekend go?????

Bye for now!!
