Happy Waitresses Everywhere.

I always thought if I won a lot of money, I would love to leave huge tips for waiters/waitresses that were awesome...pay for someones groceries....pay someones medical bills...you know, randomly so it was a big surprise for someone who deserved it. Some bad ass guys dying wish was for his brother to do just that. And people are coming together to make that happen and I think it is the coolest thing ever! Check out the story: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/man-last-wish-big-tips-inspires-big-donations-195754349.html Before Aaron Collins passed away in July at the age of 29, he asked that his brother Seth "leave an awesome tip" for a waiter or waitress. "And I don't mean 25%," Aaron said. "I mean $500 on a ****ing pizza." The only problem, as NPR reports, was that Aaron didn't leave much money. His family began raising funds on the Web, so they could then pass it out to lucky waiters and waitresses. It's safe to say that the plan is working much better than they could have imagined. So far, the family has raised nearly $50,000. They've given out three generous tips of $500 each and have recorded the servers' reactions. Not surprisingly, the servers are quite pleased with the gratuity. On a site dedicated to his brother's wish, Seth writes: "Absolutely 100% of the donations we receive will be given to random waiters or waitresses. Our goal is to do this once a week, for as long as you give us the opportunity." With over $47,000 raised and only $1,500 spent, Seth and family have a lot of dining out ahead of them, and a lot of servers can look forward to more than just 15 percent.

Recipe Lady

I swore I'd never be the "recipe lady"and let my blog turn into a cook book...But apparently I lied. I guess now that I am cooking for myself every day and trying to be somewhat healthy about it, I find myself interested in recipes now. And you blog about what interests you. So, here we go..another DELICIOUS find": Peanut Butter-Banana protein waffles.

1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 1/4 cup egg whites 1/2 mashed banana cinnamon 1-2 packets stevia Mix it all together and put it in the waffle machine. I melted chocolate chips and peanut butter and used that as the syrup and it was amazing. Nutrition per recipe: Calories: 210 Protein: 32g Carbs: 13g

Healthy cake!?

I have an unhealthy obsession with cake. I cant hide that fact any longer. I would eat cake (almost any flavor) all day long if that didnt result in the need for emergency medical care for a severe case of sugar shock and a buffalo hump for an ass. With that said, I can let go of my fears and eat all the cake I want...now that I've discovered this gem of a meal!!

CAKE BATTER PROTEIN SHAKE

1/2 cup Low fat cottage cheese 1
1 Scoop vanilla protein powder 2
3-5 Drops butter or almond extract
1 tbs Vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3-5 Stevia packets (or sweetener of choice to taste)
1/2 cup-1cup Water (Alter this according to desired consistency)
5-10 Ice Cubes (Depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner consistency)
Optional: Sprinkles for topping!

Put everything into a blender and blend until creamy consistency is reached! Top with sprinkles if desired, and Enjoy!


I hope you are as happy as I am with this discovery :)
