So glad you guys are diggin’ the Commercial Break Workout! Did anyone give it a try yet? I may have to give it another go later this evening while Jay and I catch up on our episode of Franklin and Bash (<—love this show, btw).
Rewind to last night…I had a shift at work so I kept dinner quick and simple.
I sautéed up some broccoli, red pepper, a leftover ear of corn on the cob from Saturday, and a sliced link of chicken sausage in Italian dressing and topped it all with some crumbled feta cheese.
I honestly didn’t have too many expectations with this, since I just sort of threw it all together as I went, but this dish was killer. So, so good!
But not quite as good as the dessert we had a little while later…
While I was checking out at the grocery store the other day, I happened to pick the line that has the “Oops, we made too much!” cart right next to it. The cart usually has a bunch of stuff from the bakery for 50% off, and while it’s always rather tempting, I usually try to avoid looking through it.
Well this time, I spotted a strawberry angel food cake for $1.00, so I had to grab it. Last night, I made Jay and I a couple dessert dishes with the angel food cake, fresh strawberries and blueberries, fat-free whipped topping, a drizzle of heated up raspberry preserves, and a couple white chocolate chips.
WOW. Why do I always let myself forget just how delicious angel food cake is??
I’m not gonna lie. The thought of repeating it again for breakfast this morning was sounding mighty good, but I refrained. Instead, I brought back an old favorite…
Coffee + an egg, provolone, and raspberry jam waffle sandwich. Always a winner in my book.
Once this all digests it’s time to get goin’ on my yoga challenge…I’ve got plans to try out a new online workout, so I’ll be sure to let ya know how it goes later today!
Question for the Morning:
What bakery items, if any, would you be tempted to buy only if they were 50% off?
MMMM Angel food cake is the bestt!! I am usually tempted by cheesecake or fresh chocolate chip cookies!
I love Angel Food Cake! When Price Chopper has it on sale I pick one up. I pair it with fat free cool whip and fresh strawberries :) Yum – I actually have some at the house now from last weeks sale.
Your dessert looks delicious! I love Angel food cake. It’s so light and fluffy! The perfect summer dessert :)
I almost never buy bakery items other than bread. The only thing I’d buy 50% would probably be some really good looking cookies. I almost always hate cupcakes and cakes that are from the grocery store. Homemade is best!
your breakfast sammy looks deLISH
For a second I thought you were talking about the Lululemon “oops we made too much” section of their website – that would definitely be one dangerous shopping cart!
I’d stock up on whole grain baguettes or sourdough ciabattas if I ever saw those on a discounted bakery rack!
Oh man, we love ciabatta bread over here!
I looove angel food cake…and it’s so airy that I tell myself that they’re couldnt possibly be butter in there :). If I saw blueberry muffins or carrot cake on sale, I’m not sure I’d be able to resist!
A whole wheat bread to make an egg bake gets me every time! …. so would strawberry angel food cake! I love angel food cake!!!
I did yoga this morning too! I think my shoulders are going to be quite sore :) that dessert looks heavenly!
your’s and julie’s (pb fingers) meals resemble one another’s too much! it’s too funny. i know you two have mentioned being one another’s “twin” before, so that only makes sense! ;)
mmm angel food cake – love it!! and for a dessert option, it’s not too shabby compared to other desserts on the nutrition side of things.
Haha, I think you are the third person to say this within 24 hours. Too funny! :)
That dessert looks wonderful. I always forget about angel food cake!
The other day, I saw some delicious looking black and white cookies at the grocery store bakery. If those were 50% off, I’d be all over them!
I do like angel food cake, but I tend to lean towards baked goods like breads and buns in the clearance section. That way, I am able to get what I need and just toss some of it in the freezer to thaw out at another time. I would actually love to try and make my own angel food cake sometime, definitely something I have never tried before!
Your breakfast looks delicious!
Angel food cake is seriously good! I love it topped with a dollop of nutella and a drizzle of chocolate sauce witha few burnt marshmallows. Seriously amazing!
WOAH. That sounds amazing!!
That scrambe at the top with the chicken sausage looks YUMMY.
Oh boy I would probably buy something chocolate…or cinnamon buns if they looked gooey and tasty :). That dinner looks awesome! I love it when random things turn out delicious
Ohhh, cinnamon buns. How I love them so :)
If given a choice between angel’s food cake and devil’s food cake I will almost always choose devil’s food. I love chocolate too much not to. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like strawberry shortcake. My grandfather’s favorite kind of cake is actually an angel’s food cake soaked with strawberry jello and Cool Whip I think? Something like that. Most people in my family like it, but I can’t stomach soggy textures. Same reason I don’t really like french toast.
Yes! My mom and I actually make something very similar – https://www.sweettoothsweetlife.com/2010/04/18/carb-o-licious-dinner/
I love apple fritters, they are delish! Rarely do I head to the bakery area, but when I do, thats what I’m after.
I would probably be tempted to buy any bakery food at 50% off, haha! I do love angel food cake with cool whip and strawberries — it always reminds me of my childhood when my Mom wanted to make a quick dessert similar to strawberry shortcake. :)
I’ll go for any kind of specialty bread… yum!
hmm well I’m tempted to buy bakery items even when they are full price so this is a tough one! haha But if I had to pick I would probably say some sort of chocolate cake….mmmm! That breakfast looks good, I love eggo waffles, they make great pre-workout fuel!
They are great, aren’t they? I go back and forth between Eggo & Vans, but Eggo was on sale this week ;)
I absolutely love bakery cupcakes! The frosting is always super-thick & sugary… my favorite!
I haven’t had Angel Food Cake since being in Wichita — and that’s 3 years ago :o!! I want some too ;-) Yummy. I haven’t yet tried to make it myself and the bakkeries here don’t sell them. So… I either need to visit the States or start baking some myself because this looks too good to pass ;-)
I actually gave the workout a try last night! It was awesome. A lot better than sitting on my butt for hours ;D
YAY! :-D
I think I would be tempted to buy all of the 50% off bakery items! Haha! I love angel food cake and it’s been awhile since I had it, I don’t think I pass on the $1 price tag!
Love the angel food cake dessert! I don’t know what it is about angel foodcake but I love it!!! It’s my favorite. Great find!!
Your dinner looks great! Sometimes the throw together dinners are the best ones, maybe cause we don’t expect them to be!
Have you ever had Alfreso Chicken Sausages? The Sun-dried Tomato Basil is amazing and I bet it would taste great in your dinners :)
Love me some angel food cake too!
That’s actually the brand I used the past two nights! I’ve never seen the sun-dried tomato kind though…that sounds awesome! These were Italian-style, which were delicious :)
Last nights dessert looks AWESOME!!! I like angel food cake because it isn’t too high in fat/calories and with added berries it is a delicious semi-healthy dessert!
I hardly ever buy bakery goods but I could be very tempted to pick up the “lofthouse” sugar cookies with icing if I ever find them marked down. They are my FAVE but very dangerous to have around!!
I am just loving all the food that you post and I love that heart mug you use often!
Thanks, Molly! :)
That dinner looks delish. I’d never have thought to put a chicken sausage in with those veggies but I’m going to have to try it. Such an easy sounding meal to pull together.
Brownies, fudge fancies, and anything chocolate tempts me to grab it off the shelf, open the box, and stuff my face into it. I have a problem when it comes to chocolate, let’s just say. ;)
I’d be tempted to buy far too many bakery items if they were 50% off! Cookies, though, always end up in my cart if they have one of the reduced stickers on them…
I try to steer clear of the bakery at all costs.. I’m a sucker for cinnamon raisin bread!
I love angel food cake with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream…one of my favorite quick desserts :) Gotta remember to add white chocolate chips next time, sounds yummy!!
Your dinner looks amazing! I love when throwing a bunch of stuff together turns out amazing! I wish I could find chicken sausage. My grocery store never has any.
What kind of waffles do u use?… Also I love angel food cake layered with fat free cool whip mixed with raspberry Greek yogurt!
This particular batch is Eggo, but I tend to switch between them and Van’s. They’re both good :)
Wow! what a fabulous desert. Makes me want to dive in for a bite. That is why i can’t wait to try this one. Thanks for sharing and i’m looking forward on your next post!
Delicious kind of dessert! I cant wait to make this one. Thanks and hope you’re having a fun weekend!
