Wrestlemania Food and Blogs - I Almost Forgot!

So I told you all last week that we would be watching Wrestlemania this past weekend.  Well, it was quite entertaining and certainly a good time with good friends!  There were a lot of great matches and great drama on the TV, and lots of great food being made here!

I meant to post this on Monday, after Wrestlemania, but I forgot. Heidi has her own blog, called Chubby Bunny Shrinks her Tail, and she wrote a blog about all of the awesome food we had during our "Wrestlemania Party". You can check out Heidi's Blog here and the specific blog post for Wrestlemania is here.  She detailed our three course snacking in great detail, with good pictures of each dish, and it was all delicious!  I told her I was going to share it on my blog so that we weren't duplicating efforts! :) 

Something else I'd love to share with all of you is Kristi's website, and blog, that is about a variety of topics, from comics, to movies, to TV, and now most recently to wrestling.  Kristi's website, Pop Culture Sushi, is a great venue for all you need to know about geeky, and sometimes not-so-geeky culture.  After Wrestlemania, Kristi expanded her blog to include wrestling and wrote a pretty amusing blog about it! 

Kristi's best friend, Erin, is a die hard wrestling fan, and was actually at Wrestlemania this year with her brother! She has a great blog all about wrestling, called Ring Ramblings, and I'm sure she will be writing all about her Wrestlemania experience once she is home. Check it out for some actual wrestling knowledge and opinions written by a great girl! 

Ok, I think that's enough promoting my friends' blogs for now, but seriously, they're all awesome and you should check them out!

Sunday Mornings Are My Favorite

Sunday mornings may be my favorite time of the week. They typically involve sleeping in, snuggling with my fiancee and our critters (we have a cat, Juliet, and a dog, Samson, both of which I'm sure I'll talk about and post pictures about in the near future), a delicious brunch, and then meal planning and grocery shopping later.  This morning we slept in until about 10:45am and then Kristi had to call work to see if she was needed for her "on-call" shift, but since she wasn't, we stayed in bed for awhile.  I eventually got up to make brunch (only calling it that because it was noon by the time I was cooking).

Today's brunch consisted of using an awesome product that Heidi bought a few months ago.  I have linked it below because I think you should try it, if you like peanut butter, and you're watching what you eat.  PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter has a great consistency when mixed right (not hard to do at all), tastes just like peanut butter, and is only 45 calories a serving (2TBSP of powder and 1TBSP of water is a serving).  This means only 1 point for a serving, unlike regular peanut butter which can be very high in points!

PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter

Brunch Menu (per person), 8 Weight Watchers Points


Fiber One english muffin toasted with a serving of the above PB2 (4pts total)
A whole banana sliced into pieces and put on top of the PB2
Half of an apple
Half of a plum
Nonfat strawberry banana yogurt (2pts)
One Garden Vegetable Chicken Sausage (Thin n' Trim) (2pts, but if you have 2 it's only 3pts)
Coffee with 2 Truvia packets (0pts)

So, a nice hearty meal for brunch, that was very low in points. I have 55 points a day, so really by this time I should have had more points, but Wrestlemania is tonight and with that comes snacking! Heidi will be getting the PPV of Wrestlemania tonight and we will all sit around cheering on guys in spandex costumes as they beat each other up...it's a good time! :) A few friends of ours are coming over for their yearly watching tradition with Heidi, which works because it's all people we're friends with too!

We're very lucky that Heidi, and her boyfriend, like to cook...the menu tonight looks fantastic, and it's all healthy versions of awesome food! I'm going to be making a turkey sausage dip that I stole from my good friend, and Bridesmaid, Casie when she made it for our "Ladies Night" potluck a few months ago.  It's very easy to make, only has a few ingredients, and is pretty healthy!

I'm off to go plan meals for the week, do a little grocery shopping, and then it's time for Wrestlemania!

Have a great day everyone!!
