A day of celebrations…

July 17, 2009 by DanicasDaily 8 Comments

Wow ~ What a Friday!  It’s been a fun filled, busy day with some FANTASTIC news.  I am still in my little state of happiness for making the Top 5 Finalists for the Myrecipes.com Best Desserts contest!  I have never entered any of my recipes in any contests before ~ so cool!

This morning I got my day started with a  Kashi Blueberry Flax Protein waffle topped with a little whipped butter and natural apricot preserves.

Plus a container of TJ’s Organic 0% Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt for some protein.

And a super sweet, juicy pluot, sugar plum and a handful of blueberries.

All together my breakfast really hit the spot for 6 Weight Watcher Points!

My co-worker made up a cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill bread platter to celebrate her 1 year anniversary here!  I have to admit I’ve never tried smoked salmon before and was a bit scared due to the fact I only seem to like raw sushi salmon LOL!

I took one square and you know what – it wasn’t that bad!  I liked the smokey flavor and it was not fishy at all.  I have a feeling anything with whipped cream cheese and a super soft baguette would be good though 🙂

Lunch was totally made up on the fly.  I made up a cheesy hummus wrap!

* 1 Whole 8-Grain Tortilla

* A smear of that whipped cream cheese above

* Black Bean Chipolte Hummus (there are whole beans it in – LOVE it!)

* 1 slice Tillamook Pepperjack cheese

* Cucumber slices, carrot strings and a sprinkle of cilantro & green onions.

All wrapped up it was a fantastic combination!

I also had a small plate of leftover pad thai to go with it.

Then, it was time for yet, another celebration ~ another co-workers birthday!  This cake is so cool – one of my co-workers made it – decorations and all – so cute and oh pretty darn tasty too

Ok ~ I think that brings me up to speed with you all.  I am not sure of our plans tonight (maybe another celebration for being in the Top 5!!!  I am totally looking forward to the weekend!  Tomorrow we are getting a 90 minute Couples Relaxation treatment – massage and more – ahhhhhh!!!
