Go Pats Go

Posted on by



I’m totally not a football fan, but I’m psyched about today’s game. Obviously, I’m excited to see the Patriots in the Superbowl, but I’m really looking forward to spending time with my family and friends. I’m planning to party hop and watch the first half of the game with my family and the second half with my friends. Oh, and, of course, I’m looking forward to the food… and commercials! I wonder if there will be any pug commericals this year?

Breakfast

I started my morning with a (Patriots) glass of iced coffee with soy milk. Go Pats go!

To eat, I had a bowl of Greek yogurt mixed with strawberries, blueberries, chia seeds, and walnuts. Do you like how I kept the Patriots color scheme going?

Dinner

Last night, Mal and I planned to go out to dinner at the Outback. We won a $25 gift card in a Yankee Swap over the holidays, so we figured it’d be a nice, easy evening out.

Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Outback, it was bumpin’ and the wait for a table was 45-60 minutes, so we decided to just head home.

New dinner plans: a bottle of wine + American Flatbread Pizza!

I know these frozen American Flatbread Pizzas are a total rip-off at Whole Foods, but I just can’t help myself from buying one every time they go one sale. This pizza does not taste like frozen pizza at all. It really does taste like the real deal! So delicious!

While eating our pizza, Mal and I started watching Friday Night Lights and blew through five episodes. So far, I like it a lot! Mal and I also blew through an entire bar of dark chocolate with sea salt. We only planned to have a piece or two, but before we knew it, the whole thing was gone!

And, of course, there was plenty of pug cuddle time on the couch last night.

Bugged-out pug face! Haha!

Question of the Day

Who do you want to win the Superbowl: the Patriots or the Giants?

About Carrots n Cake

My name is Tina, I’m 30-years-old, and I live in Boston, Massachusetts with my husband, Mal, and my pug, Murphy. Besides spending time with my family and friends (and, of course, blogging), I love to stay active. My favorite form of exercise is running, and I’ve run more than 20 races, including my first marathon in January 2011. I also enjoy walking, hiking, yoga, and Body Pump. (Ok, I’m a bit obsessed with Body Pump!) I also love baking, beer, dining out, and traveling. My full-time job is blogging for Carrots ‘N’ Cake, but I also juggle a number of part-time gigs. I write another blog called Trading Up Downtown for a nutritional rating company called NuVal. The main focus of the blog is how to save money and select nutritious foods with the help of the NuVal system. Additionally, I write a weekly feature for Health.com as part of their Feel Great Weight program. And, in October 2009, I secured a book deal with Sterling Publishing. My book was published in May 2011 and it’s based off my blog, Carrots ‘N’ Cake.
