That’s right friends, it’s time for another giveaway around these parts! And what better gift to give than a date night out with your hunny! (or bff, or mom or yourself!) I was contacted by the lovely folks at The Melting Pot a few weeks ago to try their new Skinny Dipping Menu. You get one salad, an entree and a dessert for under 700 calories! As a girl trying to get healthier (but still indulge) this was definitely right up my alley!

I love The Melting Pot, and not just because you can eat vats of cheese and chocolate and it’s totally acceptable. But, it holds a sentimental value to me. The Melting Pot in DC is where Elliot took me for dinner right after he popped the question!

And then it’s where we went for our one-year wedding anniversary dinner last year! Isn’t my hubs such a sentimental hunk?

Clearly, both of those events were celebrations so calories weren’t being counted. But this year, my hubby and I are really trying to get into the best shape of our lives so we were stoked to find some of our favorites on the skinny menu! I ordered the spinach salad with bacon shallot dressing (DIVINE) and the steak and shrimp entree. However, my favorite part was the dark chocolate fondue. It’s so simple BUT SO DELICIOUS. And I’m a woman so clearly chocolate is my weakness.

Yum! Overall, I really liked the menu. The portions were smaller, obviously, and you don’t get any of the cakes or cheesecakes to dip at the end. But, I still left satisfied and plenty full. Plus, you can always add the cheese. You won’t be under 700 calories but you don’t have to tell anyone! Another cool thing about the menu is they paired with one of my favorite vodkas, Voli, to create skinny cocktails to go with your meal!

I didn’t have one but they looked SO good. So, now onto the part y’all really care about….THE GIVEAWAY!

The super gracious folks at The Melting Pot have agreed to give one of you lucky people a $100 gift card! Talk about an awesome, stress-free date night right? The skinny menu is less expensive too so you can indulge in cheese or extra cocktails! To enter, simply fill out the prompts below! Giveaway ends Monday at midnight. GOOD LUCK!

Who Stays? Who Goes? You Decide!

And I don’t just WATCH this show, guys. I pretend I’m on it. I act like a contestant and interact with the TV. Like it’s problematic. Whenever I watch, I end up screaming at the TV, mocking the contestants or oohing and ahhing over what they’ve made. However, in this season, I’ve been more yelling at the TV b/c I think Stefan is pompous as all get out and Josh is a big jerk with a villian mustache. But, wait. That’s not what today’s post is about As a Brave Top Chef A-lister, I’m here to talk about last night’s episode AND give you, one lucky reader, a year subscription to the holy bible of food, Food & Wine!

But first, let’s talk last night. If you didn’t watch it, SPOILER ALERT!! Go watch it and come back and leave a comment. If you don’t watch the show, well, I’m sorry. DO IT Anyway, so raise your hands if you hate Stefan as much as I do. Well, okay. I don’t HATE him. He’s just really full of himself. I mean, I get it, you own restaurants and jazz, but that doesn’t mean you need to be a big meany head and walk all over people! Sorry, getting off track again. So last night was one of my favorite episodes in the season because of how innovative the quickfire was. They had to make dishes out of food wrapped in reynolds foil (they couldn’t see the food when they picked it) and then had to COOK using reynolds foil! As in, had to assemble pots, pans and collainders out of foil.

That can’t be easy. It was so fun watching them try to make pots out of foil! Could you imagine? I’d lose immediately. One of my favorite contestants, Kristen, won the challenge. She also ended up winning the elimination challenge too! And Danielle, another girl I liked, ended up going home. However, I don’t blame the judges for sending her. She’s very timid and didn’t believe in herself. You’ll never make it out of Top Chef if you are always doubting what you do! The elimination challenge was a little less exciting. They had to make dishes using seasonal berries. Which to me is a walk in the park, however, I can see how you could over think it. Or in John’s case, really just eff it up by making a chorizo stew. Who makes a spicy meat stew with berries?

So, what do you guys think? Who do you think should have gone home? Who is your favorite and least favorite of this season? 

Now, time to enter to win a subscription to Food & Wine! Simply enter the prompts below!

Okay, so the winner! Of all the things! Well, not all the things, all the delicious avocado things. DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

Aka, LAURA! Congrats love!

Now, as promised, a few more Jamaica photos and some snippets from my trip. Guys, I’m sorry I keep talking about it, sharing photos and the like, but it was honestly one of the best trips of my life. I learned so much about the culture and myself. So, I’m going to begin by telling you a bit about the first amazing hotel we stayed in Ocho Rios, the Jamaica Inn.

Guys, I can’t say this enough, this was the most incredible hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Not only are the views breath-taking (above is the view from the lobby!), the hotel rooms are top-notch, the food amazing and the staff is absolutely, hands down incredible. We had so much fun with all of them! In fact, one of the staff members had been there for 54 years! They all treat you like a family and you start to feel like you are family to them.

We when we first arrived, we were greeted with some Jamaican cocktails. 99% rum and a splash of juice.

As we sipped our cocktails, we got a tour of the incredibly beautiful property. Ocean and mountain views everywhere you looked, it was like a postcard or a movie.

Then, we got to our rooms. I, of course, forgot to take pictures of the inside, but it was a standard room with a big bed and bathroom! The real selling point for it was the view. As soon as you step out, you are on a huge veranda that is, literally, a step from the beach. Like, you jump over the railing and are on the beach. Absolutely incredible.

Right? That was my view from the porch.

In addition to beach front rooms, they have private cottages WITH their own infinity pools. Like, really. Although they are on the steeper end of the price spectrum (like over 1,000 dollars a night) they are completely worth it. Plus, you get your own little private stairs into the ocean. It’s perfect for a honeymoon or when you want complete and utter privacy and tranquility.

One of my favorite moments from our stay there was the room service. They deliver the breakfast, lunch or dinner to the table on your porch so you can eat, feel the ocean breeze and hear the waves. I ordered eggs Benedict and coffee Friday morning and it was pure perfection.

The dinners were just as incredible, I just didn’t get any photos since it was too dark. But, awesome food. The last day we were there we also got spa treatments! I got reflexology, which is where they rub the pressure points in your feet? I dunno. It was awesome, relaxing and was in a tree-house overlooking the water. I mean, can you beat that?

Seriously y’all, I can’t recommend this place enough. The deluxe veranda room (where I stayed) is about $500 a night during high season (Dec – April) and $300 during low season (April – December). But guys, you saw those views, right? SO worth every penny and more. You won’t want to leave the Jamaica Inn, I promise.

Happy Monday! Hope y’all had a great weekend! Mine was spent at the pool on Saturday and in the kitchen yesterday! Whipped up some delicious treats, including crock pot chicken wings, butternut squash mac n’ cheese and THESE amazing strawberry boozy popsicles.

Aren’t they just the CUTEST?? I’m on a MAD boozy Popsicle streak this week, all thanks to work! I made a variety of these pops last week (with orange instead of lemon) and was so addicted, I knew I had to make them again.

Oh, and these little pops are void of ANY ADDED SUGAR. Yep, nothing. Zilch. Not even a smidgen of the white stuff made it’s way into each delicious pop. Because guys, strawberries are sweet enough! You simply don’t need it! However, if you don’t like the tartness of strawberries and lemon together, by all means, add in some sugar!

If the low-sugar didn’t get you excited, how about the fact they are made with pomegranate infused tequila? Does that have your heart beating a little faster? No? How about when I tell you how flipping easy they are to make? Blend, pour into Dixie cups, freeze and pop out!

And guys? Taking them out of the Dixie cups is as easy as pie! Simple let them defrost for a smidge.

Carefully pull them out. (You can use a knife to gently push them away from the cup too or peel the cup away).

 Then, tadaa!! You have a boozy pop! So easy, right?

Oh and the very, very best part? Each little pop has under 100 calories. And since it’s filled with fruit, you can have one for breakfast. I won’t tell anyone there’s booze in there.

Boozy Strawberry Lemon Pomegranate Popsicles

Yields about 6 pops.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Freeze time: 5 hours

Ingredients:

•  3 1/2 cups sliced strawberries

Hi guys! Shannon here!

I was lucky enough to meet with Robert Irvine, host of Restaurant Impossible and Dinner Impossible on the Food Network, last week (that’s me sharing a longing glance with him above) to chat about avocados, blogging and how he stays so insanely fit. It was amazing because one of the first thing he said to us bloggers was this.

“You know blogging is really important because it educates people, just like TV…I think there are some amazing bloggers who are better than TV shows, because I think you take it more serious than some of the professionals.”

I think we could agree to that. For most of us, this is simply more fun! I mean, who else gets to dedicate a day to write about their favorite recipes, or outfits or experience? For my good friend Claire, I know blogging isn’t’ just something to do, it’s her life, her dream, her passion. So to say she takes it pretty serious is an understatement.

Now, we could talk blogging for hours, but we’re hear to talk about something delicious, something I know Claire loves (have you seen this pasta?) The avocado. Which ties in perfectly to this interview I had last Friday with Robert Irvine. You see, he doesn’t just like the avocado, he loves it. Enough to eat it everyday for 85 days.

Irvine teamed up with Subway Restaurants for the challenge in an effort to promote health, nutrition, and of course our favorite avocado in the Subway ADD-vocado challenge.

“Avocados have such great properties, you know? Vitamin B, vitamin K vitamin E; it’s good for your body,” Irvine said.

In addition to promoting the challenge last Friday in Universal’s City Walk in LA, Robert was actually making the sandwiches too! Yep, he was donning a Subway t-shirt and was whipping up sandwiches for hungry folks. Oh, and he was paying for the ones that had avocado!

“People say ‘oh you know an avocado, it’s full of fat,’ but it’s a good fat. We all go around and eat French fries, you know, but we won’t eat avocados,” Irvine said.

Most of us are more familiar with Irvine in his role as the hard ass restaurant rebuilder. So while we are aware of how fit he is, we are not always aware of his expertise in nutrition. Which is strange, considering the size of his biceps.

It was this expertise that drove Irvine to team up with Subway, agreeing to show the benefits and versatility of avocados.

“I paired with Subway because of nutrition. I believe in the calorie counts that they do and the protein numbers and I also believe that because they are on every corner, no matter where I am, if I want a sandwich I can get the same sandwich no matter where I go to,” Irvine said.

It is not only his calorie counting that adds to Irvine’s expert fitness, but also his gym schedule (every day but Sunday) and his ability to think ahead, which he urges parents and everyone else to do as well.

“You buy your product on a Sunday, you take a couple of hours to prep your meals in advance; you know you can cook rice in advance, you can cook pastas in advance. So when you get home dinner only takes 10 minutes,“ He suggested.

And if you are wondering how to incorporate that little green fruit into dinner, Irvine spouted out a host of delicious sounding delectable’s avocados could be used in.

“You can make soufflés, you can make dressings from this, salads, sandwiches, you can make pies with this, you can make ice cream. You can pretty much do anything with an avocado because its not got a sweetness, sourness, or bitterness to it. It’s just endless,” Irvine pointed out.

Photo op! Some great tips were also given about the tricky little fruit. Irvine suggests buying avocados more firm so they will be ripe by the time you eat them later in the week. He also claims that if you keep the skin, prepare the avocado then seal the meat of the fruit and other additions back into the skin and wrap it with plastic wrap, the avocado will not brown!

I’d listen to him if I were you. In addition to eating tons of avocados, Robert has also teamed up with Michelle Obama fully supporting the first lady’s initiative against childhood obesity, and showing his support for her “Choose My Plate” and “Let’s Move” programs. To catch more or Irvine on the go, tweet him at @Robertirvine1.

Holy Thursday, Batman! Not only did April speed on by, this first week of May is almost over. YOWZA. Luckily I’m doing great on my promise to better organize my life, which as you know, it’s a clusterFFFFFF right now. But, before we hop on into the giveaway, I must say a HUGE belated Happy Birthday to my father!

I’m the worst person ever too because I forgot it was yesterday while I was on the phone with him! Luckily, my mother reminded me and I was able to wish him a happy birthday. Ugh. But I bought him a snazzy new watch to make up for it. Happy belated “39th” birthday dad!

Now, moving on swiftly to the giveaway I promised you last week. I know I’m bad at living up to my promises, but that’s another thing I’m working on. You know what I need? An assistant. I”ll pay you in tequila and corn muffins, capiche? Today’s giveaway, though, will hopefully make up for my absent mindedness, because it’s just that awesome.

It’s an Orka steamer! The amazing people at The Big Kitchen Store sent me one to try and offered to give one away to one of y’all! They rock, don’t they?

What’s awesome about this portable steamer is that you can use it on the stove top and the microwave.  I used it last night to steam some chicken and frozen broccoli and my dinner was ready in less than 10 minutes. Seriously, I kid you not, 10 minutes!

A lot of people think steaming poultry or meat dries it out. NOT TRUE. In fact, steaming works to keep your meat moist and juicy.

Not only is steaming quick, it’s insanely healthy because you don’t need any fats to cook with. No oil, butter or shortening, just heat! This means you can enjoy your healthy chicken and broccoli with a small dousing of teriyaki sauce and rice noodles and not feel guilty. Because you are still consuming over 100 calories less than if you stir fried in olive oil.

SO! How can you win your very own steamer and recipe booklet from The Big Kitchen?

Mandatory:

1. Check out The Big Kitchen Store and leave a comment BELOW stating what else you like from them!

Now, I’ll be honest. I don’t always eat breakfast. Although I work from home, my schedule is still as jam packed as it was before. As soon as I’m up and Oscar is out, I’m busy cooking, photographing, editing and writing. Sometimes, it’s 1pm and I haven’t had more than a cup of cofffee. I know this is bad, but it’s how it is. So when the lovely folks at Rise Bar sent me a box of their healthy start granola and protein bars, I was thrilled.  A super healthy breakfast I can eat while cooking and photographing? Sign me up! Plus, the box contained protein and energy bars for when I hit that 3pm slump.

Unlike many other fiber and protein bars, these are ALL NATURAL, or what I like to call, real food. They have no pesky preservatives, no weird ingredients you can’t pronounce, no strange or odd textures that could only be a result of strange factory production. These bars are fresh and full of the amazing, healthy ingredients you need to start your day right (and ingredients to keep your day and diet on the right track).

Like chunks of dried fruit, crunchy nuts, whole grains and oats and drizzled honey. YUM! Plus, the energy bars have 3 grams of protein, the breakfast bars contain 6 and the protein bars contain a whopping 20 grams!

Oh and not to mention, every single bar is completely gluten-free! Yep! Not a dash of wheat in sight.

Oh and even better? The energy bars are completely VEGAN!

So not only are these delicious, super healthy and full of natural, real flavors, they have a bar for everyone. Aren’t they just the best?

Plus, isn’t the packaging just the cutest? 

Thanks to the amazing people at Rise Bar, one lucky reader will recieve one ENTIRE box of rise bars to enjoy! Yep, AN ENTIRE BOX! Plus, that’s not all! They will also recieve one voucher for a FREE GoodBelly product!

What’s GoodBelly? An innovative company in Denver that has created an entire line of healthy, natural probiotic products that are VEGAN! They have juices in all sizes, including a line for kids!

So, to sum up, you get an amazing box of Rise Bars AND a free GoodBelly product! Now, onto the important thing, how can you win? Easy peasy!

1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite breakfast food. Be sure to also link to your email or blog so I can contact you if you win!
