Brian's Fat Sandwich

Last night I was watching flipping through the channels and I stopped on the Travel Channel where they were showing this food truck in New Brunswick, NJ that sells these "fat sandwiches" that come with anything fried or bad for you on them. So I decided that I would make my own. Introducing, Brian's Fat Sandwich.

A blog that I really enjoy reading is The Pioneer Woman, especially her cooking section where she shows step by step pictures of many of her recipes that make it every easy to make her food. In the next few posts I will show you step by step how to make my delicious concoction.

Brian's Fat Sandwich Cont.

Here are the necessary ingredients. Hoagie buns, marinara sauce, chicken strips, french fries, mozzerella sticks, shredded mozzeralla, and pepperoni.

Butter the hoagie buns and toast them on a griddle.

Spread marinara on both sides of the bun.

Place pepperoni (we fried them and drained the grease) on one side.

Big Butt!

This morning I was walking through the gym when I had a lady come up to me and say, "Amanda, how much weight have you lost? You look so good..." Of course I blushed and replied with the "Oh, I haven't lost a pound but thanks!" In this moment I felt great. I had forgotten what all I had over the Easter weekend and the 3 pieces of chocolate I had for breakfast. But then...she reply's with "but then I noticed your butt is getting BIGGER". I have found while being a weight loss coach that most African Americans want the bigger butt and hips...now white girls...not so much. I know that this lady was only trying to be nice (at least I hope so) but come on... She went on to ask how she too could make her butt bigger. I replied with do lots of squats!

until next time!

In "breaking" news....

This afternoon Brian took Charlie outside to use the bathroom. They were racing back to the door when Charlie some how got underneath of Brian and tripped him and he landed on Charlie. Charlie was yelping so loud that it caught my attention from the apartment and all of our neighbors as well. We rushed him to the vet where they confirmed that he had broken all four metatarsals on his right front paw. It was to severe to actually put a splint on it without making it worse. So, we were sent home with some pain medication and were told to use benadryl if we need to help him sleep. We hope to get him into surgery tomorrow! We will keep you updated!

This is how we will spend our night...holding our little boy!
