7 Quick Tuesday Takes

1. Watching the dance numbers from the Tony's, I decided once and for all that dancers have the best legs. They just really do. I want dancers' legs. Guess I better get dancin'.

2. I realized that I haven't updated a few Pioneer Woman recipes I made! I am still slowly eeking my way through her cookbook. Two weekends ago I made her Basic Breakfast Potatoes and Huevos Hyacinth. Both were delicious, although the Huevos Hyacinth were far too liquidly - I'm not sure if I didn't cook the eggs long enough or if the juice came from the tomatoes. Either way, it was on the border of unappetizing so if I made them again, I'll have to play around with the broiling time.

This past weekend, I made her Blackberry Cobbler, but with blueberries. Blueberries are in season and are just SO good right now - so juicy and sweet. The cobbler was delicious. I made one for my in-laws and one for myself. (Ha!)  I've been eating it by the spoonful with some whipped cream on top. Not good for my pants size in the slightest, but soooo tasty. Next time I would make it with more of the cake part, though. It came out really thin; it was still really good, but I'd like to try it in a more cake-y ratio.

3. Speaking of sweet things I shouldn't eat, my brain is obsessed with Joy the Baker's Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread. I mean, have you looked at it? Are you not convinced you could eat the whole loaf by yourself?  Hence why I haven't made it yet. (Well, that and the whole dough needing to rise thing. I don't have the patience for that. Eventually the recipe will break me down and win, though, and I'll be making this. For sure. She recently said it's her most popular post... and it's so obvious why.)

4. Eating a slice of pizza doesn't negate the positive effects of eating something sold as a "low carb salad," right? I'm not asking for me. I'm asking for yesterday's lunch.

5. I love that I started this list talking about how I want to have dancer's legs and then go on to talk about a whole bunch of things that are part of why my legs look the way they do. (nom nom nom)

6. I'm going out to lunch with my boss today. I'm hoping for a raise and a promotion. I will probably just get a sandwich. (Aaaand, still talking about food.)

7. Is it Friday yet?
