I need a Trader Joe's!

I picked up a bag of this when I was in Charlotte last month:
WOW!

It's a blend of Israeli couscous, red and green orzo, baby garbanzo beans and red quinoa. I added edamame and cranberries and tossed it with some vinaigrette. SOOOO good. I'm already thinking about packing my suitcase full the next time I'm near a Trader Joe's!

Leftovers


I just figured out that I don't have to eat an entire cheesecake in a week.


Individually frozen slices for later!


(I just wrapped them in waxed paper before sliding them into the bags)

Cheesecake with a Twist

I usually put lemon zest in my cheesecake. Not having a lemon on hand, I went a different route today.
Almonds in the crust.

Stupid or fantastic?


We'll find out VERY soon! [No guilt on this one after a 1,600 calorie workout yesterday!]
