Another Good Greek Yogurt

For a while, I had a hard time finding Chobani Raspberry yogurt, not sure if they just stopped making it or what. So I saw the commercials for Oikos by Dannon and decided to try it. I'm not a huge fan of the fruit on the bottom ones, but I LOVE the Key Lime one! I also like the Raspberry one that doesn't have fruit on the bottom. It's a little less tart compared to Chobani, but I still enjoy both. Give it a try!

You Know I Love Zumba....

I don't generally sit and watch infomercials, but whenever the Zumba Fitness one is on, I go out of my way to sit and watch it, even though I've seen it a billion times. Sadly, it's like $90 once you make all 3 payments so I'll just have to wait for Christmas for that.

However, the Zumba fitness Wii game is NOT $90! I went on Amazon.com and found someone selling a copy for $25, so I bought it. I LOVE IT! It's not the same feeling as the DVD's, I'm sure, but I get such a great workout and it's fun. It's super convenient for when I don't have a ton of time in the morning to get to the gym. I just run downstairs, turn on the Wii and pick one of the 20 minute workouts. Even though it's 20 minutes, I sweat like crazy! When I have a little more time, I do the 45 minute ones.

I wasn't able to sign up for any Zumba classes at Shoreview Community Center this fall because of my work hours, so I'm super happy I can still get my Zumba fix. I always feel energized when I'm done, not exhausted from kicking my butt in the workout. They're coming out with the second edition in November, so I might have to check that one out as well.

Yummy Brunch!

It's been a while since I last posted, but I'm going to try really hard to get back into it! I figured I'd start with my twist on Eggs Benedict, which I tried this morning with lots of success! My mom has made Eggs Benedict at the cabin since I was a little girl and it's on my list of top five comfort foods. I didn't want to wait until the cabin to eat it, so I made it myself.

Spinach Eggs Benedict

This is what I used to make 2 servings each for Bobby and I, it could also make 4 individual servings.

4 halves Wheat English Muffin

4 Eggs, Poached (I used an egg poacher)

1 Tbsp Frozen Spinach (can refreeze the rest and use it later)

1 package precooked Canadian Bacon, or your meat of choice, or no meat if you prefer

1 package Knorr Hollandaise sauce (with 1 C milk and 1/4 c butter)

*Prepare Hollandaise sauce according to package.

*Lightly coat egg poacher with butter or cooking spray. I used just enough spinach to coat the bottom of each dish, then broke one egg in each dish over the spinach.

*While the eggs were cooking, I spread butter on each English Muffin half, then put them under the broiler on high for about 5 minutes.

*Heat Canadian Bacon according to package (I threw them in the microwave for about 1 minute, but you can cook them on the stove as well.)

*Place one slice of Canadian Bacon on each English Muffin, top with one egg and Hollandaise sauce.

If you don't have an egg poacher, I know there is a way to poach eggs without one, but I have no idea how that is. You could also just cook the eggs over-easy in a skillet, and probably add the spinach to the eggs before you flip them to make sure it gets cooked.

Sorry for not taking an "after" photo, I was just so excited to eat! It was super tasty and I couldn't taste the spinach at all, so maybe next time I'll add more. Cooked spinach is the only vegetable Bobby will eat, so I'm happy I found a tasty way to incorporate it into one of our favorites!
