Q: did your fiance bring you coffee this morning?

Q: how are you getting your body fat tested? (from lara)
A: i get my body fat tested in a BodPod, which is a capsule that you sit in and it measures the air displacement. i will be sure to document the process when we get it done here in the next few days.. i need to make an appointment. it is a really awesome process and actually is super accurate.

Q: do you know where you’re getting married? (from cathy)
A: yes! yes i do. it will actually be held at a tropical/exotic plant store~ they have a HUGE greenhouse and gorgeous garden area outside with a koi pond and gazebo. the best part? no need to buy flowers. i will be able to use all of their plants/flowers/cacti/etc as decor. score. more deets on that (with photos!) later.

Okay that chocolatey looking mess in the first pictures looks really good. I’ve never tried a Vita-top or Mighty Maple.
LOVE ice cream. Just had it for the first time in 2 years last month. Can’t even tell you HOW. GOOD. IT. TASTED.
Hmmmm….I don’t each much cereal. Would Barbara’s cereal (the one kinda like Life) count?
ice cream cake before lunch: noice! and ten points for the boyf aka fiance bringing you coffee this am!
LOVE all of the food pictures from today! YUM!
Ice cream – I love me some ice cream cake, too!
Cereal – I LOVED frosted flakes, too! And Life! Now I love granola
another fun post! :D You’re so creative!
cake person if I have to choose one. cheesecake would be my pick ;)
We don’t have ice cream cakes over here so I can’t tell ;).
Frosty flakes! Ah so good! My mum never allowed us to eat that and we only had plain and simple kellog’s corn flakes..
I love whole wheat cereal mixed with granola and muesli now.
Icecream cake all the way love!!!!!!!!! I love coldstone Icecream cake!!!!
Love the gift you got your friend too, Kombucha rocks!!!
I really enjoyed this post!!! Your deep chocolate vitamuffin combo looks so good! Will have to try that!!
Love ya girl!!! All the wedding planning will fall into place!! My fiance and I are getting married next year, I stress with planning already, lol!!
Love ya!!!
I hated the term ‘fiance’ too! I rarely called him that before we got married. ;)
Ya, fiance always felt weird to me to say. I like the term “the hubs” haha! I am a ice cream lover all the way! I could eat my body weight in that no prob. And cottage cheese salad, thats my go to lunch choice for sure! I loved your post, very creative!
Now get some rest. You got lots to do, hehe!
LC
I love your Q&A post! You’re so fun!
I’m definitely more of a cake person. Especially CHOCOLATE CAKE!!
Hmmm…don’t think I have a favorite flake cereal. For crunch, I really love granola. A little too much :)
That wasn’t a cop out post at all. I love Q&As!
I am an ice cream person and a cake person. But I mainly want the cake for the frosting!
Mmm vita top mess looks delish. My “lunch” (the time I kill out because I eat mine at my desk) might be hunting these down.
Umm and I totally loved this post. At first I was like “wow how did these people know to ask all these questions?”
Can I be a cake AND an ice cream person? I think cake might win by a hair. But only some cakes. Store bought “birthday” cakes no, but my bfs moms coconut cake that is tormenting me in my kitchen yes
I’m not a flake cereal fan, never liked the tiger flakes. Was a penut butter crunch fan hehe.
Amazing b-fast!
And I loved this post, btw, not a cop out at all!
1. I am an ice cream person, all the way!
2. I’n not a huge flake cereal fan, but I DO like Nature’s Path!
Anddd I am emailing you later because I have not gotten my V-day gift yet =(
xo
K
I’m not either…I like ice cream cake! The fudgy crunchy stuff in the middle is the bomb!
I want to get remarried next year on 11/11/11 SWEET! It’s a Friday though. It will be our 12th. To bad it’s not this year making it our 11th. How awesome would that be?
Oh em gee that ice cream cake looks amazing. Why is it that day-glo frosting attracts me to a cake more than natural colors? I LOVE ice cream cake, though the frosting isn’t usually as good as the stuff on regular cake. If someone can make me an ice cream cake with chocolate buttercream, I’d love them forever! I like chocolate Special K, but sadly it doesn’t keep my tummy full for very long. I like non-flakey cereals better in general!
I love how you always think your best posts are cop outs! roll with it girl, you’re funny :)
Ice cream cake looks awesome! And I’m very intrigued by your cereal, I’m betting I’d like it. Most of the time I’m a bunches rather than a flake girl.
Hey p.s. you probably already know this, but we were talking about it at work: next Tuesday is 3-2-10. We were joking it’ll be a countdown day 3,2,1,0 BLAST OFF!! How silly. love you. xoxo
I love the little ice cream cones on the cake! I would say I am more of an icing girl. I don’t usually care for the cake part. As for ice cream, I really like vanilla ice cream but not much else. So weird. I guess I would be happy with a bowl of ice cream and scraped off icing.
Cake for sure!! I am not so much of a flake cereal person. I love Ezekiel cereal, like grapenuts but much healthier.
Thanks for answering my question about the bodyfat testing. I was hoping you would say bodpod/hydrostatic/DEXA because those are really the only accurate ways to measure. Those handheld things many gyms use are such a joke! I have been wanting to do BodPod for a while but no place really close to me.
ICE CREAM!!!!
I haven’t met a flake cereal that I truly like. I’ll have to check out Nature’s Path.
I’m late! But I’m loved hearing your “wedding deets”! And I think it’s so cool that you guys are getting marrued in a greenhouse. It sounds gorgy and I can’t wait to see pics! I’m more of a cake kind of person myself – but ice cream cake is the best of both worlds! It’s been far too long since I’ve had some.
I love the term “boyf” too ; )
I liked this post! and good luck on the house hunt, just have fun with it, I’m sure you guys will find something you love that is perfect :)
J’adore your mug snack…pb, greek yog, jelly, cereal…heaven in a mug! (HIAM?)
1. Cake! But only the good kind, not the fake grocery store ones. Particularly, I LOVE WEDDING CAKES!!!
2. I don’t really eat flake cereal, I’m a cheerios or H2H fan when it comes to cereals.
I just got the Nature’s Path Red Berry Crunch last night and I am in love!
This was not a cop out! I liked it! I especially loved both yogurt creationg—so amazing.
I am a cake AND ice cream person. I cannot choose. If there is cake and ice cream in front of me, I’ll want both. But on a regular basis, I’d rather have ice cream.
Oooh I loved Frosted Flakes, too! Delish. Now, I love the Nature’s Path flax flakes. I forget the proper name, but I dig em.
Gawd, good luck with house hunting + wedding planning. I would not be able to handle that! Love you!!
How’d you know all the questions we would ask ?! ;)
I really like this post – “cop-out” or not!
I’m totally a cake person! It is my favorite part of birthdays. However, I only like Betty Crocker/Pillsbury “from a box” cakes – nothing fancy for me please. My aunt actually made two of those cakes for my Sweet Sixteen instead of buying a bakery cake LOL
Nicole G
i am defs an ice cream gal all the way ;)
i don’t think this post was a cop out at all- i loved it!!
that yog w/ jam and pb and flakes looks amazinggggg!
jenna
hey darling! love the post!! so much good stuff here, I would be ALL over that ice cream cake, holy moly its 10 am and I want some right now. I am an ice cream person by FAR! I dont even really care for cake…ice cream cake on the other hand?? bring it onnnn!!
In college, in my ex physiology lab we all had to get underwater (hydrostatic) weighed and that was SUCH an experience. We had this crazy irish professor with the thickest accent and you really havet to expell ALL of your air, so as we went under she just SCREAMED at you to get all the water!! it was crazy, needless to say I think I prefer the bod pod :)
momma B may have just inspired me to try to make homemade Jam! I just told my roomate! that has to happen soon!!! i LOVE homemade Jam!!
Ohh I love ice cream cake, but I also love normal cake with ice cream.. I’m not going to lie, if there’s sugar involved and it’s homemade-I’ll probably like it!
I hated the word ‘fiance’. I felt so weird saying it!
1. are you more of a cake person or an ice cream person? cake. and ice cream. mostly cake.
2. favorite flake cereal? actually, the same as you!
I don’t like the term fiance either because it looks like the word finance and I don’t like thinking that my man is financing me.
Cute post!
You know I’m all over that breakfast! DIVINE! Ice cream cake is so damn good, glad you didn’t pass up that bad boy. Have you had DQ’s ice cream cake?! Oh lawd! I’m a cheesecake girl but if that’s not available and DQ’s cake is then get me a spoon!!
how do you look so gorgeous after a workout?!?! amazing!
I LOVE ICE CREAM CAKE!! my favvvvv!! i actually LOVE cookie cake AND ice cream cake TOGETHER! double trouble fo realllll.
i love the way you eat..im all about some crunch in my yogurt! whoo!
I love this post, lol. PBJ yogurt looks awesome…as does cake right now.
1. are you more of a cake person or an ice cream person? CAKE!
2. favorite flake cereal? Tough one. Does raisin bran crunch count? I could live off that stuff. Also a huge La Lechara flake fan, but have been slightly obsessed with plain bran flakes lately. So good in a parfait with banana, Fage and PB2.
I’ve been married for nearly 7 years and husband still sounds weird. I just generally refer to him as Todd. Although his name is Peter. Just kidding, his name is Todd ;)
Q: Are your blogs always so entertaining to read?
A: Yes yes yes! I love your writing style. Plus now you have even more fun *ish to talk about. Yay weddings!
Where do you go to get your body fat tested? Id love to get it tested with a BodPod but I have no idea where I would go to get that!
I used to eat this “healthy” raisin bran flake-type cereal but now I can’t remember it. But, my boyf (heehee) and I stayed up so late last night talking about good “kid” cereals (can you tell he’s doing Atkins right now?) and frosted flakes always come up.
Mmm…cake…I hate to admit it but I LOVE cake. Well I guess I should amend that. I love frosting.
Ice cream, definitely ice cream!
I still have trouble referring to Jason as my fiance and we’ve been engaged for 8 months!
haha i agree with the birthday cake situation. i don’t always eat birthday cake, but i do if it’s ice cream!
ice cream > cake. always :)
I love all forms of cake. Ice cream is okay, but it doesn’t settle well in my stomach.
I was never a huge fan of flake cereal when I was growing up, but I’ve grown fond of the plain variety. I have to try Nature’s Path.
1. Neither, I’m a FROSTING person!
2. Flake cereals are kind of meh to me.
I called Adam my boyfriend a good year and a half after our wedding!
That PB&J yogurt looks fabbityfab. I must try that, especially now that I have access to Greek yogurt. Although I suspect it won’t be the same without your mom’s famous jam ;)
1. The only cake j’adore is cheesecake. Everything else I can do without. Now put a cookie in front of my and it’s a different story.
2. One of my favourite flaked cereals ever is Oatmeal Crisp. But it’s one of those sugar-heavy scary ones that I don’t like to eat anymore. I’ll have to try the Heritage Flakes – I love all the Nature’s Path cereals I’ve ever tried. Actually, their Banana Almond is a good flake-y cereal.
Happy Waffle Wednesday!! I get a fail on the waffle front. Someone’s office doesn’t have a fancy waffle iron :P
Dang girl, no cake or frosting? I LOVE ice cream cake because I love that frosting. And I don’t like cake unless it’s with ice cream. AKA – I love the whole entire ice cream cake haha.
1. Guess I kinda answered that one above. Ice cream > cake any day. But ice cream cake > anything in the world.
2. I love that cereal too. I also loved Team and Wheaties as a child!
I love the Q&A format! I think it’s super cute!
I’m more of a cake person. I love ice cream but unfortunately I’m lactose intolerant so unless I have a lactaid pill with me ice cream is death for me!
I don’t think you’re a cop out :) but I cannot believe you are trying to make me choose between cake and ice cream! Cake WITH ice cream ALL THE WAY!
I’m glad you’re back on the cereal bandwagon – I know your love!!
I want that ice cream cake plate right now! I used to not care for cake at all, but it’s growing on me. Ice cream is delicious but I don’t crave it all that often.
The wedding place sounds so awesome!
i think i like cake more. i dig icing.
Where you’re getting married sounds amazing! Can’t wait to see pics :-)
I’m all about cake with ice cream ON it. Chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, please.
I thought this was a fun post to read! Clever. I am an ice cream gal all the way, and my favorite flakes cereal is Nature’s Path Red Berry Crunch.
Love this post!
Total ice cream person…unless that cake involves copious amounts of frosting, in which case I would scrape it off and leave the cake:)
Favorite flake cereal today is Total’s Cranberry Crunch–I can’t stop eating it!
