Hooooleeee moly! I have been kickin’ butt on my to-do list today…thank goodness, because I reeeally don’t want to have to do any work this weekend.
I’ve only got about three more items to take care of today, which is going to happen as soon as I finish up putting together this post…sooo let’s get to it!
While I was in the midst of all of my stuff this morning, I realized that I still had a batch of frosting in the fridge to frost yesterday’s cupcakes. Seriously, how could I have forgotten about frosting or cupcakes?
Well, it turns out my frosting was a major bust.
I put it in the fridge yesterday after noticing that it seemed way too runny, so I figured it just needed to cool down. After reading the directions more closely, I realized that I added double the amount of milk that I was supposed to.
Oops.
So now I’m stuck with a big ‘ol bowl of this amazingly delicious failed frosting and I have no idea what to do with it.
Well, actually, that’s sort of a lie…
I did manage to find one thing to do with it. 
So now, one of my to-do’s is to head to the store and pick up a couple more ingredients that I ran out of. Hmmmph.
After figuring out my frosting failure, I decided to pop in a yoga DVD and chill out with that. Forty minutes later, I felt refreshed, relaxed, and snacky.
I started out with a handful of almonds (plus some unpictured dried cranberries) and then put together a little yogurt bowl.
Today’s combo included a plain Chobani (+ 1 big spoonful of the vanilla chocolate chunk flavor from the tub), blueberries, half a banana, and granola.
I think blueberries + bananas has to be one of my favorite combos, besides my all-time favorite trio of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. It’s just so good.

It’s been a dark and rainy day over here which makes me believe that hubby’s softball game is going to get cancelled…which makes me believe that a nice, quiet evening in with some takeout, some wine, and some picture hanging is sounding mighty appealing right now!
How about you? What do you guys have planned for the weekend??

Maybe you could double the dry ingredients for your frosting?
Frosting or cat cookie dip – both are wins!
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because recently posted..Cake!
yes, I agree with Alex! Doesn’t always work out very well but it sure helps
And in the meanwhile you can top it with a combo of nut butter, greek yogurt and sweetener. It’s delish!
ahhh I miss rain~I love rainy days and your description of tonight sounds so nice

Sorry to hear about the frosting! At least it tastes good though so it’s not all bad.

You know what I do with frosting fails (that still taste good)? Freezer! Then you can have a spoonful every once in a while or dip some crackers in them later.

Blueberries, banana, and strawberries has got to be my favorite fruit combo. I’ll be taking my daughter back-to-school clothes shopping and I’ve also got a mani/pedi on the agenda.

perhaps you would be up for going out to watch the JETS???
Oh no! Haha, that “frosting” still looks delicious, though. Takeout and wine sounds AMAZING right now…

I was gonna head to the beach but this weather might change those plans lol

Oh yikes about the frosting. At least you have an excuse to dip yummy things in it;)
I don’t know what kind of frosting it is, but you could try adding coconut oil, peanut flour, or peanut butter…but I’m actually no baking expert so maybe don’t trust me;)
Oh man, I would love a nice night in with wine and a movie! I have to work tonight though. Oh well, its still fun!

That is definitely the best failed frosting solution I’ve ever seen.

Enjoy a relaxing evening at home. I’m on my way to Trader Joe’s in a little to get the weekend kicked off on a good note.

It’s rainy here too. I hope that we can enjoy the spaghetti that I’m making, and then relax on the couch!
Emily @ Perfection Isn’t Happy recently posted..Friday Things
Rain? What’s that?! I may have to start doing a dance to get some around here, lol!
A relaxing weekend sounds awesome but I will be running kids to birthday parties and then on Sunday, I am painting my master bedroom. Fun stuff.

Oh that’s an awesome iherb deal!!! I’ve never ordered from there so I might need to try it out
Liz @ IHeartVegetables recently posted..Falafel Cravings
Is that supposed to be caramel icing? I tried it twice, both times a MAJOR fail. I am convinced it is not a real thing.
I think Cat Cookies with that frosting is a major WIN.
I’m actually making frosting as we speak haha!! I’m making homemade funfetti cupcakes, to celebrate my friend’s birthday.
I hope they turn out to be great … it’s the first time I’m trying this recipe!

Frosting on ice cream…do it!
Khushboo recently posted..Friday Favorites: London Edition
Live and learn. I once put my frosting in the fridge before frosting my cupcakes. I’ll never do that again
(This was before I found out if should be kept at room temp)
Alysha @Shesontherun recently posted..Thursday Things
Sorry about your frosting – but it looks like it turned out to be a yummy snack anyway! I actually have some picture hanging planned tonight too

Rainy nights aren’t always a bad thing–those takeout/wine/couchy/lazy nights are my favorite
We’re hoping to have a fire out at a friend’s place tonight though (the weather is sunny here) and that’s always fun too!

At least your fail is still edible

It’s been a rainy couple of days, we are going out to dinner tonight and watching a movie tonight. Tomorrow is packed and I don’t want to think about it and Sunday is roof repair day and I really don’t want to think about that.

I love blueberries and bananas together too! Nothin beats it!
That looks amazing!!!
Jeanine recently posted..Add A Little “Extract” To Your Life…
I do a similar dipping with those cat cookies but with peanut butter and love it! The hubby and I have been busy workers this week and take out and a movie will be on the agenda for the evening!
