Breakfast Braid Fail, Cabot Tasting, 4 Miles

hehe Thanks you guys - I'm glad you agree that just sucking it up and being nice was the best move for me there. I'm sure it would have been fine otherwise, but i'm on this "pick your battles" mode lately and it just wasn't worth my energy. Aside from letting things go, i'm all for trying new breakfasts. ALL for it. It's a meal that I've never been a big fan of but force myself to eat because I buy into the whole breakfast-is-the-most-important-meal-of-the-day thing. I found lots of recipes for breakfast braids and even a great video for how to do it. Only, I changed the recipe SO much that it wouldn't fit into the dang braid. Shiz. I still LOVED the recipe, super tasty, but am going to mess with it before posting so you won't end up with such an ugly braid like mine!

Yummy slice of fabulousness

Not bad! Right? Looks pretty fancy!

FAIL!! Too much stuffing and not enough crescent!! That's okay - I have a total plan for how to make this right next time!!

Aside from the recipe fail, something else noteworthy went down recently... I got cheese in the mail! I love my life.

Hello Cheese! (and thanks for sending, Cabot!)

Yes, Cabot sent me two new products! It's fabulous pre-portioned mini cheese slices for serious snackers like myself. I chose 50% reduced fat sharp cheddar and 75% reduced fat habanero

Hi Habenero - my new best friend

I cut it up into pieces and put it on 5 carr's crackers. WOW - had such great flavor and a nice kick. I can't WAIT to use this cheese in my mexican-inspired recipes, and I think it would be great to spice up an egg/sausage wrap with some flare!

I'll let you know how it melts, but I've always been THRILLED at how Cabot cheese melts. I'm so happy and can't wait for these products to be offered on the regular!

Aside from recipe fails and exciting new products, yesterday was rather dull. Just work, walked 4 miles during lunch while reading Undone, more work, a trip to the library, and then straight home to get in bed and drink fluids and take medicine. LAME. I did muster up the strength to do some exercise. I did this bicep and back routine and the ab work below it!

That's about it, friends! Today i'm hoping I can keep up the walking and maybe go for a run - I dunno though - still not 100%. K - question time!

Q: Ever had a breakfast braid or braided one yourself?

Q: Any recipe fails lately?

Q: Have you ever tried Cabot cheese? Like or dislike? I'm a fan of any cheese that isn't a high in fat and that melts like "normal cheese." So I pretty much use Cabot in all of my recipes!!
