Mmmmm. Last night I had the most amazing pasta fagioli for dinner. Would you like to know the recipe? It’s really quite simple…
All you have to do is call up Testo’s and have them deliver it to you. 
Yes, Jay and I totally bailed on making dinner last night. I had sort of an annoying afternoon and by the time Jay got home from work, I really just wasn’t feeling the dinner thing. Being the awesome guy that he is, he suggested that we order some take-out and keep it easy, which is exactly what I needed.
I stuck with the appetizer size of the pasta fagioli this time, because the full dinner size is enormous and I totally would have been tempted to eat it all. This way, I had more room for my side of garlic bread…with extra sauce, of course.
And a couple bites that I managed to snag from Jay’s baked cavatelli. Holy.crap.
After dinner, I got to work on finishing up a special request from Jay’s co-workers…
I got word yesterday that it’s “been too long” since I last sent in some cupcakes for the boys (they sure do love their goodies) so I figured I’d whip up a quick batch.
The cupcakes themselves actually came from a box (Duncan Hines Apple Caramel) but the frosting was one of the best batches I’ve ever made.
(*If you want to know how I decorate my cupcakes, check out my “How To Frost Cupcakes” Vlog*)
I used my normal Vanilla Buttercream frosting recipe, but for the first time, I tried out some of the Mexican Vanilla I bought while in Mexico. That stuff took my frosting to a whole other level.
And lucky for us, there just so happened to be two extra cupcakes…
Perfect dessert.

Breakfast
I had a couple of clients to train this morning and my usual Clif Z Bar did not hold me over so well, so as soon as I got back home I put together the quickest breakfast I could think of…
A cereal combo made with Special K Protein Plus (finally finished the box) Cascadian Farms Honey Nut O’s, strawberries, blueberries, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
I’ve got a few things to take care of this morning before heading out for a doctor’s appointment a little later, so I’ll be sure to announce the winner of the Naturalizer Shoe Giveaway this afternoon. Be on the lookout!
Question for the Morning: What do you like best?
- Cupcakes: the cake or the frosting?
- Pizza: the sauce, the crust, or the cheese?
- Ice Cream/Fro-Yo: the ice cream or the toppings?

Jay and I were on the same wave length last night and since Quintessence is having their big sale until May 1st, we head down to Albany and treated ourselves.
I was pretty happy and amazed that I kept it healthy AND I enjoyed it. (Love the body changing).
Cupcakes – the frosting.
Pizza – the cheese (cheese is like crack to me)
Ice cream – the ice cream
Utopia – Cheese Cupcakes with Ice Cream frosting…. which I do not eat.
Hahah love this! For me it’s… the frosting (sweet tooth!), the point where the pizza meets the crust & there is the perfect amount of crunch (specific, I know) + the ice cream itself.

I might be alone in my answers but my preferences are cake , sauce and fro yo/ice cream! Mmm I ammajorly craving fro yo now!
Khushboo recently posted..Nam-as-tay, homies…
You can’t make me choose!! I love the cake part of a cupcake, but it’s gotta have lots of frosting with it … so I guess the frosting??
And I love every part of the pizza. I refuse to choose on that one.
Kristen @ notsodomesticated recently posted..Pure randomness … just because.
Cupcakes – the cake, usually. I’m particular about frosting … too sweet is not my forte.
Pizza – cheese, baby. I don’t even need the crust and sauce. Give me a platter of baked cheese
Fro-Yo – the topping. For suuuuuure. That’s the fun!
That pasta dish looks phenomenal! I’m going for pasta tonight, I hope it can compete with that!

I honestly am not a fan of icing but I love the cupcake! And fro-yo…. All about the toppings!! UFO light on the actual fro-to just so I can load up on the goodness!
Alyssa @ fit and fun in third recently posted..W.I.A.W: Gimmie more Veggies!
For me, it’s the cake, the crust, and the toppings!
I actually prefer the cupcake! I’m really picky about frosting (even though I have a major sweet tooth!
I still can’t get my frosting to look that pretty. In time.
Cupcake – both!
Pizza – the crust, I love bread.
Ice Cream/Froyo – definitely the ice cream/froyo! Toppings are not required. I’ll eat it right out of the container if I have to.
Krissie J @ A Philly Nerd Girl recently posted..Tacos and Beer
cupcakes – def the cake for me, but i do like a GOOD homemade frosting to go with it!
Pizza – love the crust
froyo – toppings for sure!
Andrea @ Andrea Out Loud! recently posted..Random Time! – Yes I Live Here, Fun Website, &Secret Job Perks
Your cupcakes always look amazing! I’m definitely a frosting girl and as for pizza, extra cheese please!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance recently posted..Quinoa Burgers and ’90s Boy Bands
oh boy, these are some tough questions today.
cake or frosting? this is the only one i could answer easily… i’m all about the frosting!! in fact, i usually just eat the frosting with a little of the cake and leave most of the cake unless it’s super good.
pizza – sauce, crust, or cheese? i think it definitely takes all three to make quality pizza, but the crust is certainly my favorite if it’s GOOD crust. i mean good by being doughy and and thick!
ice cream – toppings or ice cream? tough tough call. i’d have to go with the ice cream though.

The frosting, the crust dipped in sauce and froyo with toppings!
Oh man you had me so excited for a pasta fagiole recipe, but sometimes I guess it’s just best to go with the pros. I think you’ve inspired me for lunch!

Cupcakes: the cake or the frosting? — FROSTING!
Pizza: the sauce, the crust, or the cheese? — Generally the crust, but that depends on the pizza
Ice Cream/Fro-Yo: the ice cream or the toppings? — Can I say BOTH?
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More recently posted..Fitness Friday
I love Mexican vanilla! We bought a gigantic bottle – that stuff lasts forever!
Kim @ The Family Practice recently posted..Rude Awakening
Cupcakes: Frosting for sure! I could eat so much of that stuff! I’ve never made my own though, so I’m going to try to do that soon!
Pizza: It’s pizza so it has to be everything! I don’t even consider the crust, sauce, or cheese separate haha
Ice Cream/Fro Yo: Definitely the Ice Cream/Fro Yo! This makes me want some haha I gotta get some frozen yogurt tonight!
I’m currently drooling over Jay’s dinner and those cupcakes!
cupcakes – frosting
pizza – crust (preferrably with cheese)
ice cream – I can’t choose — the toppings most definitely have to be mixed into the ice cream
Krista @ Healthy Berg recently posted..Weight Loss Recap: Week One
Frosting! The cake is just the base for it to rest on.
Cheese on pizza…drool
I love both the fro yo and toppings…but I like to eat them separately!
With the Fro-Yo I Love the yogurt itself! I had this lemon flavor a few months ago that just too good to put any toppings on it!
Carrie @ Lift Eat Repeat recently posted..Male vs Female Lifts
Cupcakes= cake part
pizza= cheese
Fro-yo= toppings (im scarfing down a cup with m &ms right now haha
I’d have to say frosting, cheese, and toppings! ( Seems I like all toppings
)
Steph @ StephSnacks recently posted..WIAW: Nut Butter Time

Alysia @ Slim Sanity recently posted..dining table and toning moves
Frosting, crust, toppings.
And ALWAYS extra sauce with the garlic bread. YUM! Hope today is better than yesterday!
Melissa recently posted..News
Pizza crust, Icing but only if it’s chocolate or lemon otherwise the cupcake and the vegan version of ice cream
(though it wouldn’t be the same without toppings!)
Happy Friday missus, hope you have a nice weekend planned!
Michelle@Peachy Palate recently posted..Match made in heaven
Yay! I am so glad you finally tried the mexican vanilla! I told you that stuff was awesome! My grandma is in Cabo right now and I have her bringing me back a liter bottle of the fantastic stuff. I easily go through a liter bottle a year. I use it in anything I can! It is fantastic! I am making some chocolate cupcake this weekend and I plan on using my finger to get every last bit of frosting out of the bowl. I LOVE good frosting. I have pizza last night for dinner and honestly I love it all. And I would say the ice cream/froyo part is my favorite!
I love frosting. I could seriously go without cake, just leave me the frosting and I’m good to go. Pizza the sauce is definitely my favourite and ice cream. Mm, now I’m super hungry. Your take out looks delicious too!
Lisa recently posted..Fun Fitness Friday
Cupcakes: the frosting
Pizza: the sauce or crust-it’s a tie. The cheese is OK, but not as good as the sauce.
Ice Cream/Fro Yo: ice cream + toppings both; I can’t decide on that one!
I want those cupcakes…the frosting looks deeeelicious.
Shannon recently posted..Election nerves
frosting!
the crust! (though dipped in TONS of sauce)
and duh–the toppings make it!
